Module type: Compulsory elective
Academic: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Christoph Deml
Credit points: 3
Qualification goal:
The students deepen their knowledge from the module “Computer-Aided circuit simulation” about the function of a circuit simulator, modeling of components (R, L, C, current and voltage source, diode, NMOS transistor) as well as their knowledge of the programming language C through practical application.
Module components:
- Computer-aided Layout Processes (Practical course, 4 TWS)
Contents:
Building on the course “Computer-aided circuit simulation”, the program parts of a circuit simulator are created and tested step by step in the C programming language.
- Importing the netlist
- Gauss algorithm real and complex
- DC simulation of linear and non-linear networks (Newton algorithm)
- Time domain analysis (charge model, numerical integration with the trapezoidal rule, time step control)
- AC simulation of linear and non-linear networks (linearization, capacity model)
- Output of the simulation data
