Abstract

The microelectronics area constantly demands better and improved circuit simulation tools. This is the reason that this article is to present a biparameter homotopy with automated stop criterion, which is applied to direct current simulation of multistable circuits. This homotopy possesses the following characteristics: symmetry axis, double bounding solution line, arbitrary initial and final points, and lessen the nonlinearities that exist in the circuit. Besides, this method will be exemplified and discussed by using a benchmark multistable circuit.

Homotopy continuation multistable circuit.
