Abstract
An efficient method fcr Jacobian evaluations in multimode hierarchical circuit simulation is presented. The method evaluates the Jacobian ma trix based on the block Jacobian contributions which can be evaluated by various methods for different types of blocks to achieve both accur acy and efficiency. Comparison of the method with the forward-differen ce method shows considerable improvement in simulation efficiency and convergence.
