ABSTRACT:
Systems, methods and computer program products create an equivalent circuit of electric and/or electronic circuit components, by identifying groups of components and hierarchically modeling aggregate interactions among the groups of components, to create increasingly higher level circuit models, until the equivalent circuit for the components is produced. Hierarchical modeling is provided by defining global components that reflect aggregate parameters of the groups of components and modeling the aggregate interaction among the groups of components as interactions among the global components. Moreover, next higher level global components also are defined that reflect aggregate parameters of at least some of the global components, and the aggregate interaction among the groups of components is modeled as interactions among the next higher level global components. The groups of components may be remote from one another and the hierarchical modeling includes hierarchical modeling of aggregate parasitic couplings among the groups of components.
