Abstract

Mesh circuits typically consist of many resistive links and many sources. Accurate analysis of massive mesh networks is demanding in the current integrated circuit design practice, yet their computation confronts numerous challenges. When variation is considered, mesh analysis becomes a much harder task. This paper proposes a symbolic computation technique that can be applied to the moment-based analysis of mesh networks with multiple sources. The variation issues are easily taken care of by a structured computation mechanism, which can naturally facilitate sensitivity based analysis. Applications are addressed by applying the computation technique to a set of mesh circuits with varying sizes.
