Circuit Simulation
von Farid N. NajmA Definitive text on developing circuit simulators
Circuit Simulation gives a clear description of thenumerical techniques and algorithms that are part of modern circuitsimulators, with a focus on the most commonly used simulationmodes: DC analysis and transient analysis. Tested in a graduatecourse on circuit simulation at the University of Toronto, thisunique text provides the reader with sufficient detail andmathematical rigor to write his/her own basic circuit simulator. There is detailed coverage throughout of the mathematical andnumerical techniques that are the basis for the various simulationtopics, which facilitates a complete understanding of practicalsimulation techniques. In addition, Circuit Simulation:
* Explores a number of modern techniques from numerical analysisthat are not synthesized anywhere else
* Covers network equation formulation in detail, with an emphasison modified nodal analysis
* Gives a comprehensive treatment of the most relevant aspects oflinear and nonlinear system solution techniques
* States all theorems without proof in order to maintain the focuson the end-goal of providing coverage of practical simulationmethods
* Provides ample references for further study
* Enables newcomers to circuit simulation to understand thematerial in a concrete and holistic manner
With problem sets and computer projects at the end of everychapter, Circuit Simulation is ideally suited for a graduatecourse on this topic. It is also a practical reference for designengineers and computer-aided design practitioners, as well asresearchers and developers in both industry and academia.
