BUSTLE, a new circuit simulation tool

Ankara : Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering and the Institute of Engineering and Sciences of Bilkent University, 1990.Thesis (Master's) -- Bilkent University, 1990.Includes bibliographical references leaves 60-61A new circuit simulation tool, BUSTLE, using Asymptotic Waveform Evaluation (AWE) technique and Piece-wise Linear (PW L) models, is implemented. The results are very promising, especially for large circuits. This piece of work, in cooperation with [1], explains the techniques used in the simulator BUSTLE, such as • efficient LU decomposition of the sparse matrices, • using derivative and integral moments in order to get rid of the instability problem, • combining the PWL approach with AWE in transient analysis, and illustrates some simulation results.Alaybeyi, M MuratM.S
