BRASIL: the Braunschweig mixed-mode-simulator for integrated circuits

BRASIL consists of a timing simulator for digital MOS circuits coupled with an algorithm for circuit simulation. The timing simulation is based upon a fast macromodelling approach and the calculation of time-variant RC networks. The circuit simulator takes advantage out of structuring the system of nodal equations. With BRASIL a fast simulation of large circuits, with special regards to systems with the need of higher accuracy, is possible.
