ABSTRACT:
In order to simulate the input or output load of an analog circuit, the output of the analog circuit is connected to the input of a driver stage. A measuring element is placed between the input of the driver stage and the reference potential, in order to record the output voltage of the analog circuit. A digital simulator controls a controllable transfer impedance, arranged between the output of the driver stage and the reference potential, in order to simulate various output loads. An alternative is to connect the output of the driver stage to the input of the analog circuit. The input of the driver stage has a shunt connection of a controllable current or voltage source, a first resistance and a first capacitance. The digital simulator controls the controllable current or voltage source, in order to simulate various output loads. The driver stage is switched off when appropriate.
