Embodiment Construction

[0051] The working principle of the circuit simulator is to calculate the model according to the input of the netlist (netlist), establish the circuit equation, and then solve it through the Solver. Such asfigure 1 As shown, the circuit simulator first reads the netlist (101), and the simulation Engine will generate a set of circuit node voltages or branch currents for model calculation, which is the initial value of the circuit (102). Utilize this group of state initial values, carry out the model calculation (103) of each device in the net list, finally obtain under the above initial value condition, the electrical characteristics of each device, this is the current I of each device, conductance G, charge Q and Capacitor C. A circuit solution matrix (104) is thus formed. Carry out the circuit equation solution (105) by Solver again, the circuit emulator can judge (106) to the obtained circuit state according to certain convergence conditions, see whether convergence, if con...

Abstract

The invention provides a method for eliminating an internal node of a diode to rapidly simulate a circuit, so as to rapidly simulate the circuit; the method performs approximation analysis to the electric equation of the diode, so as to equalize the three-node diode model comprising parasitic resistance into the two-node diode model after eliminating the internal node. The method provided by the invention considers all physical effects of the diode model of a current main circuit stimulator, such as high injection effect, tunnelling effect and reverse breakdown characteristic. The method provided by the invention can reduce the size of the circuit solving matrix under the condition of guaranteeing the convergence precision of the circuit, so as to greatly reduce the LU resolving time of the circuit matrix and improve the speed of the circuit stimulator.

Description

1. Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of EDA (Electronic Design Automation), and in particular relates to a diode modeling and simulation method for eliminating internal nodes used for rapid simulation of integrated circuits. 2. Background technology [0002] Circuit simulation is an important link in the process of integrated circuit design. By simulating the circuit, the designer can predict the behavior of the circuit and detect errors in the early stage of circuit development, so as to avoid the discovery of chip performance that does not meet the requirements after production. Huge losses caused by demands. [0003] The process of circuit simulation is to establish electrical equations for the entire circuit at each node according to the device model and circuit Kirchhoff's law, and then iteratively perform this set of equations through Newton-Raphson (Newton-Ralphson) Solve to get the simulation results. [0004] As the scale of circuit design ...
