Summary :

Recently, efficient algorithms have been proposed for finding all characteristic curves of one-port piecewise-linear (PWL) resistive circuits. Using these algorithms, a middle scale one-port circuit can be represented by a PWL resistor that is neither voltage nor current controlled. By modeling often used one-port subcircuits by such resistors (macromodels), large scale circuits can be analyzed efficiently. In this paper, an efficient method is proposed for finding DC operating points of nonlinear circuits containing such neither voltage nor current controlled resistors using the SPICE-oriented approach. The proposed method can be easily implemented on SPICE without programming.
