Abstract :
Substrate noise in realistically large mixed-signal SPICE designs is in most cases impossible to model directly, owing to inherent instabilities. It is proposed that by modelling only the critical areas of the circuit fast efficient analysis of the substrate noise and its coupling effect on the analogue sections can be performed
