  • Abstract
    An analog simulation environment based on the C++ language is described. Not only is the system written in C++, but also C++ is used as the circuit description language. This arrangement provides an unusual level of convenience and efficiency for manipulating simulation results. Automatic differentiation techniques, using the operator overloading facility of C++, lead to compact modeling subroutines and allow sensitivity computations to be integrated smoothly into other analyses. The architecture of the simulator and efficiency considerations are discussed
