Abstract

A new technique for generating approaximate symbolic expressions for network functions in linear(ized) analog circuits is presented. It is based on the compact determinant decision diagram (DDD) representation of the circuit. An implementation of a term generation algorithm is given and its performance is compared to a matroid-based algorithm. Experimental results indicate that our approach is the fastest reported algorithm so far for this application.
