Abstract

The computer program SCANSA (Switched Capacitor Network Statistical Analysis) which was developed for the statistical analysis of switched capacitor (SC) networks is described. It provides the designer with a flexible and easy-to-learn tool for investigating the actual behavior of SC circuits. The statistical analyses are based on Monte Carlo methods and, during the analysis phase, use is made of SWITCAP via internal library functions provided by the operating system. An overview of program operation is given, and its basic features are discussed and illustrated by some examples
