An efficient and well-controlled IC System development flow: Design approved specification and design guided test plan

an innovative algorithm for computer-aided circuit design is presented in this paper. The algorithm is applied to "relative" circuits during optimal circuit design process to reduce circuit simulation time. The new concepts of "relative" circuits, fundamental circuit, derivative circuit, and delta circuit, are introduced. A practical implementation approach is developed with a Spice simulator, accordingly. The algorithm can be adapted to statistical designs or optimal designs. An example is given to prove the correctness and efficiency of the algorithm.

a novel circuit simulation methodology, incremental circuit SPICE analysis, is presented with the foundational circuit simulation algorithm [7]. When a circuit in design is modified from one version to another, only the change in the circuit is simulated and analyzed. The approach is well applied into design process for circuit parametric modification and functionality verification. By reusing simulation result from successive version, the algorithm reduces the duplicated operations in simulation. The examples show the new approach increases simulation speed about 10 times over the traditional method.
