Method to improve time domain sensitivity analysis performance

摘要

A method for performing sensitivity analysis on a circuit design is provided. The method initiates with identifying a partition of the circuit design. The method includes determining whether the partition belongs to a sensitivity graph, where the sensitivity graph represents a relationship between variables and parameters of the partition. If the partition belongs to the sensitivity graph, then the method includes, applying linear matrix factors to provide a solution to a system of linear equations and multiplying the solution by a vector to derive sensitivities for the circuit design.
