  • Abstract
    Magnitude networks [1l, [2] have been used as a theoretical base for switch-level simulation of MOS VLSI circuits. We address in this paper the particular problem of evaluating the influence of switches in unknown state on the steady-state response of the network. A two-pass procedure based on local controllers attached to such switches is described and a hardware implementation is proposed which models magnitude networks as self-adjusting combinational circuits.
