SWEC 2.4

SWEC performs fast and accurate transient analyses of digital Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (MOS) integrated circuits, with or without lossy interconnects. The program uses the Stepwise Equivalent Conductance Integration approach, the event-driven approach, and the recursive convolution simulation of lossy interconnects. This combination greatly improves the computational efficiency for transient simulation. SWEC can produce results of the same accuracy as SPICE3, and is one to two orders-of-magnitudes faster.
