HomSSPICE: a homotopy-based circuit simulator for periodic steady-state analysis of oscillators

In this paper, we describe a new circuit simulator named HomSSPICE that incorporates homotopy algorithms for steady-state simulations of oscillators. The new simulator is based on SSPICE and HOMPACK. It employs a homotopy-based algorithm that is suitable for the periodic steady-state simulations of autonomous circuits, such as sinusoidal oscillators.
