Abstract
An electronic circuit simulator technique dramatically reduces barriers to simulation of complex analog circuits. The simulator technique reduces simulation preparation time by permitting a skilled user to formulate a simulation strategy that can combine a modeling strategy, a deck extraction strategy, and a comprehensive suite of pre-engineered simulation tests that fully characterize a system under test. The simulation technique reduces the CPU time required for each test by allowing a skilled user to encode a device modeling strategy and a deck extraction strategy that effectively minimize the CPU time required to achieve a given simulation objective. For a given simulation objective, a skilled user chooses for each element implemented in a simulation a device model of minimum complexity that achieves a desired level of simulation accuracy and extracts a portion of the complete production schematic that achieves the desired level of simulation accuracy.
