Session

DescriptionCircuit simulation is essential for analog circuit design, but suffers from large computational costs when dealing with large-scale or advanced-technology circuits. This session includes the cutting-edge techniques for the hard-core problems of circuit simulation and optimization. They address the challenges on post-layout SPICE simulation, RF circuit simulation, and the simulation based analog circuit optimization. The innovative ideas are presented to accelerate the simulation process, optimize the core of equation solvers, reduce memory cost, and enable optimization speedup for circuit sizing.
