  • Abstract
    Techniques for controlling errors in circuit simulations are given. The presentation will be geared toward describing how designers can recognize and control common simulations problems. These errors, if not well controlled, can result in significant error. The circuit itself can either magnify errors made by the simulator and the models, or, conversely, it can be very tolerant of such errors. Circuits that can be very sensitive to simulator errors include oscillators and charge storage circuits such as switched-capacitor circuits
