Worst-Case Circuit Analysis using Schematic Conversion and Decomposition

Worst-case circuit analysis (WCA) is an essential task during developing safety-critical electronic systems. WCA ensures that the system operates correctly under any possible conditions. A practical system contains thousands of requirements that should be checked by WCA, so it is crucial to perform WCA efficiently. This paper proposes a method that can speed up the frequency-domain analysis of linear circuits by converting the schematic into analytical form and then using an automatic decomposition technique.
