Symbolic Analysis of Linear Circuits with Modern Active Elements

A bstract: - The paper deals with the symbolic analysis of linear circuits with modern active elements using the SNAP program. The simulator can perform both classical and approximate analyses. All device models are stored in a text library, which can be easily extended. Device parameters can be defined as simple symbols or as formulae in the netlist. This allows the simulation of electronic circuits both with basic elements and with complex behavioral models.
