Abstract:
1. Logic encoded in one or more non transitory computer-readable media and when executed operable to: receive as inputs a netlist, a mathematical device model, and a description of an input voltage, wherein the netlist describes circuit elements and connections of an integrated circuit and wherein the mathematical device model corresponds to the integrated circuit and includes an equation with a plurality of parameters and decision variables grouped into a plurality of terms within the equation; calculate one or more outputs based on the inputs, wherein the one or more outputs include one of a voltage or a current resulting from application of the input voltage to the integrated circuit; and display a graphical user interface that includes a pair of views, a first view illustrating numerical values for each of the terms of the equation after a numerical value has been assigned to each parameter and to each decision variable and a second view illustrating numerical values for each of the terms of the equation after reduction of the values assigned to each parameter of the plurality of parameters, the second view further illustrating each decision variable as illustrated in the first view.
