Abstract
An system and method are disclosed for efficiently approximating analytical circuit device models. A preferred embodiment includes a method for obtaining smooth and accurate approximations of analytical device models, comprising the steps of identifying a first set of measurement units; locating two or more sets of units that neighbor one or more of said measurement units; for each set of the two or more sets of neighbor units, obtaining the union of one or more of said sets of neighbor units and the first set of measurement units; calculating the smoothness of the analytical device model within one or more of said unions; and selecting at least one of said unions within which the analytical device model is the smoothest as the new set of measurement units.
