Abstract :
In this paper, we present a modular approach to the high frequency simulation of large networks by utilizing the latency insertion method (LIM) and considering the stability criteria of partitions of different latencies in the circuit. This results in a robust algorithm that is able to preserve the stability condition while improving the runtime of the overall transient simulation. An extension to the LIM to handle dependent sources is also presented, along with a generalized stability criteria for selecting a maximum stable time step.
