Analog simulation basics

The following tutorial illustrates the essential aspects of analog simulation widely used in the existing analog simulators such as SPICE or SABER. Most of the mechanisms and algorithms presented in this introduction are going to be used in VHDL-AMS simulators. 
1.1 The system equations
1.2 Matrix resolution
1.3 Nonlinear components
1.4 Linear model versus small-signal model
1.5 Transient analysis
1.6 Component templates
1.7 System matrix solution
1.8 Operation modes of analog simulator
1.9 Final remarks
