Abstract
An automated circuit analysis tool called SPICESoft, the main objective of which is to help designers in sensitivity computation and circuit analysis is presented. Three main features of SPICESoft are described, namely Sensitivity Analysis, Circuit Performance Analysis, and Inverse Circuit Performance Analysis. A new methodology called Binary Differential Expansion used for data interpolation is also described in this paper. The relationship between device and process parameters is covered. The simulation results obtained using the proposed automated tool are compared with those of conventional computation.
