This paper proposes an exact formalism for the inclusion of nonlinear elements with polynomial I-V characteristic into the polynomial chaos framework for statistical circuit simulation, which was so far limited to linear circuits. The formulation is SPICE-compatible, thus allowing the convenient integration of such nonlinear elements into standard circuit solvers. This contribution represents a considerable step forward towards the inclusion of nonlinear terminations into the SPICE- and polynomial chaos-based statistical analysis of interconnects with stochastic parameters. The theory is illustrated and validated by means of an application example.

Abstract
This paper proposes an exact formalism for the inclusion of nonlinear elements with polynomial I-V characteristic into the polynomial chaos framework for statistical circuit simulation, which was so far limited to linear circuits. The formulation is SPICE-compatible, thus allowing the convenient integration of such nonlinear elements into standard circuit solvers. This contribution represents a considerable step forward towards the inclusion of nonlinear terminations into the SPICE- and polynomial chaos-based statistical analysis of interconnects with stochastic parameters. The theory is illustrated and validated by means of an application example.Pubblicazioni consigliate
