Abstract
A solution of a first set of equations of the time-varying electrical response of a circuit is determined between pairs of adjacent time points tand tbased on predicted electrical responses of the devices at time point tand as a function of the initial temperatures of the circuit devices at time point t. A solution of a second set of equations of the time-varying temperature responses of devices of the circuit is determined (1) after each iteration of the first set of equations and as a function thereof or (2) at each time point tand as a function of the solution of the first set of equations at the time point to determine the corresponding temperature response of the circuit. The solutions of the first and second sets of equations at one or more of the points in time are displayed.
