Abstract :
An interface to symbolic circuit analysis has been developed for a SPICE-like circuit simulator in order to integrate numerical simulation with an existing program for symbolic circuit analysis. In effect, both numerical and symbolic analyses use the same internal representation of circuits which makes the two approaches truly complementary. This integrated simulation capability is used in simulation-based parameter extraction where all AC small-signal parameters are fitted through the symbolic analysis rather than numerical one, significantly reducing the execution time of the extraction process
