Circuit Partitioning for Behavioral Full Chip Simulation Modeling of Analog and Mixed Signal Circuits

Samantha Alt, Malgorzata Marek-Sadowska, and Li. C. Wang

Abstract—This paper presents a new method for automatically creating transient voltage behavioral models of analog and mixed signal circuits based on functionally independent partitions. The models are obtained using Support Vector Machines (SVM), a data dependent black box modeling technique. Larger circuits are partitioned based on their structure and intermediate behavioral models are built for high sensitivity nets. The models are implemented in System Verilog for use in full chip system validation. We demonstrate the soundness of this approach by modeling large and highly non-linear circuits such as Sigma-Delta Analog-to- Digital (ADC) and jitter of a Phase Lock Loop. Experimental results show 95% accuracy behavior predictions and three orders of magnitude speedup over SPICE simulation time.

Index Terms—Circuit partition, support vector machines, channel connected component graph, behavioral models.
