Abstract :
The authors describe a new program called iMACSIM which allows multi-level, mixed-domain simulation of analog integrated circuits. The program performs the simulation of different subcircuits at the behavioral, functional, and electrical levels concurrently. It also enables some parts of the circuit to be simulated using discrete-time algorithms while other portions are processed by continuous-time techniques. Simulations are presented to demonstrate the functionality of the program.<>
