Linear Integrated Circuit Models and Applications for Computer Aided Circuit and Systems Analysis and Design

Abstract : The report describes the development and verification of computer aided network design (CANDE) macro models for an operational amplifier and a phase locked loop. The models were developed using the system elements in the NET-2 Circuit analysis code. The model parameters are obtained directly from the specification sheet. The model verification test programs are described, and the integration of modeling results with a special computerized phase locked loop performed on an integrated circuit tester is presented and discussed. Electronic system modeling is accomplished by developing a model for each functional block of the system separately and then combining all the blocks together to form a complex electronic system.
