摘要
An algorithm is presented that generates simplified symbolic expressions for the small-signal characteristics of large analogue circuits. The expressions are approximated while they are computed, so that only the most significant terms are generated which remain in the final expression. This principle leads to dramatic savings in CPU time and memory compared to existing techniques, significantly increasing the maximum size of circuits that can be analysed. By taking into account a range for the value of a circuit parameter rather than one single number the generated symbolic expressions are also generally valid.
