The Separation Technique: A Method for Simulating Transistors to Aid Integrated Circuit Design

Abstract—A new technique that uses the transistor itself as a computing element has been developed for simulating transistors on the analog computer. The method is called the separation technique since it separates the high-and low-frequency behavior of the simulated transistor. The high-frequency behavior of the transistor is time scaled by a factor (typically one million) suitable for computer simulation.
