Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of electromagnetic field modeling and simulation, and in particular relates to a fast modeling and simulation method based on a time domain hybrid finite element method and a circuit simulator SPICE. Background Art

[0002] In the simulation of high-speed and high-density integrated circuits, due to the increasingly obvious electromagnetic wave effects such as electromagnetic radiation, signal delay and distortion, skin effect and proximity effect, the traditional equivalent circuit method is no longer accurate enough in complex applications. Therefore, the field-circuit joint simulation method is a very promising high-speed and high-density integrated circuit modeling method. Field-circuit joint simulation involves electromagnetic structures, circuit systems and their coupling interfaces. In the field-circuit joint simulation method, both electromagnetic algorithms and circuit algorithms need to meet the requirements of accuracy, efficiency and versatility.

[0003] The field-circuit joint simulation algorithm currently used by commercial software uses a full-wave simulation algorithm to extract the equivalent circuit or network parameters of the electromagnetic structure, such as S, Y, and Z parameters, and then cascades with other circuits, and then uses a circuit simulator for simulation. However, it is only applicable to linear electromagnetic structures and is not universal enough when simulating complex high-speed and high-density integrated circuits. Therefore, finding a new field-circuit joint simulation algorithm is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0004] In the field-circuit joint simulation algorithm, the electromagnetic algorithm uses a time-domain full-wave algorithm, which requires calculating the electric field in each time step and takes a lot of time to realize the interaction between the field and the circuit. Therefore, it is particularly important to improve the efficiency of the field-circuit joint simulation.

[0005] In view of this, a fast modeling and simulation method based on time-domain hybrid finite element method and circuit simulator SPICE is very meaningful. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to solve the problems of excessive calculation amount, long field and circuit interaction time, low-frequency collapse, small simulation range of electromagnetic and circuit parts in the field-circuit collaborative simulation algorithm, the present invention provides a rapid modeling and simulation method based on time-domain hybrid finite element method and circuit simulator SPICE to solve the above-mentioned technical defects.

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention proposes a fast modeling and simulation method based on a time-domain hybrid finite element method and a circuit simulator SPICE, the method comprising the following steps:

[0008] In response to building a microwave network circuit, including geometric modeling of an electromagnetic module of the microwave network circuit and writing a SPICE netlist of the circuit portion, the electromagnetic module interacts with the circuit module through the voltage and current of the lumped port.

[0009] The electromagnetic part of the microwave network circuit model is calculated by using a hybrid finite element method to obtain a matrix equation of the electromagnetic part.

[0010] The modal reduction technique based on the second-order Arnoldi algorithm can be used to convert the electromagnetic matrix equation into a low-dimensional Krylov subspace Q m , and then use Qm to reduce the order of the matrix equation.

[0011] The interaction process between the electromagnetic and circuit modules is based on the equations of the electromagnetic part. The equivalent current method and the equivalent voltage method convert the hybrid system composed of the electromagnetic module and the circuit module into an equivalent circuit, and use SPICE to solve it to obtain the voltage and current information in the circuit; and use the current at the lumped port of the SPICE circuit as the excitation of the electromagnetic module to accurately describe the wave effect in the microwave network circuit.

[0012] This method first builds a geometric model of the hybrid system, and then numerically simulates the hybrid system based on the hybrid finite element method and SPICE simulator. This field-circuit collaborative simulation algorithm based on the hybrid finite element method and SPICE simulator can improve the stability of the calculation process, speed up the interaction process between the electric field and the circuit, and expand the simulation range of the electromagnetic and circuit parts.

[0018] Among them, N c and N t are the number of cotree edges and tree edges in the model mesh, respectively. Φ represents the vector edge basis function used to expand the cotree edges and maintain the consistent curl. is the gradient of the scalar nodal basis function for the free nodes, and e represents the unknown coefficient to be solved.

[0019] Preferably, the ABC boundary is substituted into the second-order wave equation of the electric field to obtain the final system matrix equation

[0021] Among them, the mass matrix M, the damping matrix C, the stiffness matrix S, the external excitation input matrix b and the SPICE excitation input matrix b CKT The expression is as follows:

[0023] in,<A,B> Ω Indicates that A and B are inner products within the range of Ω, the superscript t indicates the transpose of the matrix, N is the total number of circuit ports, I s (t) is the current at port s, C s and are the paths to port s respectively.

[0024] Preferably, the implicit Newmark-β method (β=1 / 4) is used to time discretize the wave equation to be solved to obtain the time step equation:

[0025]

[0026] Further preferably, the discretized second-order matrix equation to be solved is reduced in order. The equation to be solved can be expressed in the frequency domain as:

[0027] s 2 Me+sCe+Se=-sb-sb CKT

[0028] Where s = jw, j refers to the imaginary unit, and ω is the angular frequency. The low-dimensional Krylov subspace Q of the above equation can be obtained by using the modal reduction technique based on the second-order Arnoldi algorithm. m Multiply both sides of the discretized second-order matrix equation by Q m Transpose The coefficients to be solved are expressed in the low-dimensional Krylov subspace Q m Expand, that is, e = Q m x,x are expansion coefficient vectors. The discretized second-order matrix equation to be solved is transformed into

[0029]

[0030] Further preferably, when solving a hybrid system consisting of distributed and lumped components, the computational domain needs to be divided into two modules: an electromagnetic module and a circuit module. At the lumped port s: the electromagnetic module and the circuit module satisfy the following relationship:

[0031]

[0032] The electromagnetic module interacts with the circuit part through the voltage and current of the lumped port. The interaction process between electromagnetic and circuit is to convert the electromagnetic part into an equivalent circuit and solve it using SPI CE.

[0033] The voltage on path C is as follows:

[0037] Among them, F and H represent the number of edge basis functions and node basis functions related to port s respectively, and the matrix with subscript s is a new matrix that recombines the rows related to SPICE port s in the original matrix.

[0038] From the reduced matrix equation, we can know that the expansion coefficient x can be expressed as

[0039]

[0040] Substituting the expression of the expansion coefficient x into the expression of the lumped port voltage, the relationship between the voltage V and the current I of the SPICE port s at the n+1 time step can be expressed as

[0041]

[0042] At time step n+1, and R(s,j) are known. According to the relationship between voltage and current in the above equation, the hybrid system composed of electromagnetic modules and circuit modules can be equivalent to a SPICE circuit. When all the parameters of the hybrid system's equivalent circuit are input into SPICE, the port voltage V at the n+1 time step s and I s can be solved. The port current calculated by the SPICE simulator is It is then used as an excitation for the electromagnetic module to accurately describe the wave effects in microwave network circuits.

[0043] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial results of the present invention are:
