Abstract :
A simulator capable of handling behavioral descriptions of analog circuits is presented. The simulator relies on an algorithm described by the authors in previous papers to generate stamps for analog blocks described at the behavioral level. The main feature of this algorithm is that it does not require the computation of derivatives. The results of the simulations of a pulse-width modulator and a 4-bit flash A/D converter are presented and discussed
