Hi Guys,

I'm interested these days in understanding how Analog/Digital Circuit simulators work. I'm curious about knowing the Maths/Algorithms/Numerical methods behind the different analyses a commercial simulator (Spectre, Eldo ... ) Uses.

I googled a bit and did find the "Circuit Simulation Methods and Algorithms" by  Jan Ogrodzki. I did find a few papers as well some of which are from this site (the RF simulation one).

Would you advise the above book ?
Do you know of any other book, dissertation ... that is likely to help me with this topic ?

Thanks for your advice.
Cheers,
Riad.

Hi Frank,

Well, I think I would have said a few words about that book since I have alrady got it on my desk  :-[
ken's book is excellent. It is lacking the RF bits though, things like PSS, harmonic balance ... etc. Again, I did find those bits in the http://www.designers-guide.org/Analysis/rf-sim.pdf.

I'm just wondering whether there is something published in the recent years and that are likely to talk about more of the modern techniques since the computer science has rather exploded in the last years.

I would stick at what i have already got otherwise.

Thank you very much for your comments !
Cheers,
Riad.

Hey John,
