Circuit simulation: (Part 2) unified simulator: a new approach

For Part I see ibid., pp.116-9 (2000). This paper proposes a new approach to circuit simulation, where components are treated equally regardless of their type. The benefits gained through this approach is outlined in details. More specifically, this technique allows simulation of analog circuits from system-level point of view to a more sophisticated design where the complete topology of the circuit is known. A unified simulation algorithm has been developed for small size analog and digital circuits. Our experimental results show that not only unified simulation is feasible, it has better speed compared to traditional simulation techniques.
