Table look-up modeling as alternativ to analytical modeling

Based on a analysis of numerical algorithms for approximation of moredimensional funtions in term of effort, monotony and accuracy a method was developed to modell devices and circuits as an alternativ to analytical modeling. Investigations for the modelling of the electronic behavior of integrated transistors with table models showed that a high topicality of the model data can be achieved concerning the target technology. Table models possess the singular characteristic that the accuracy of the modelling can become preset on the desired measure. top

The method of the table modelling is expanded since macro circuits of the similar to and digital technique. During the transition for the scheduling of macro circuits CPU time savings up to 75% is possible and also the simulation of larger circuits.

The use of table models is limited not to Simulationen of purely electrical systems, but can be extended to the area of mixed systems (electrically, mechanically, thermally). Analytically in particular with difficulty detectable functions are to be represented with the help of tabulated approximations. top

The following figures show the tabulated output current of a two-stage CMOS - operation amplifier in two different nonlinear cases of delimitation.
