Automatic dynamic mixed-mode simulation through network reconfiguration

The performance of dynamic mixed-mode simulation depends upon the modes of simulation used and the duration of simulation at each mode. The requirements for automatic dynamic mixed-mode simulation are stipulated. A new approach is presented to perform dynamic mixed-mode simulation in a static mixed-mode simulation environment using network reconfiguration. The approach is implemented in Lsim, a commercially available mixed-mode simulation environment. A performance increase of an order of magnitude in speed is observed even for small circuits
