System simulation of mixed-signal multi-domain microsystems with piecewise linear models.

System simulation of mixed-signal multi-domain microsystems with piecewise linear models.

We present a component-based multi-level mixed-signal design and simulation environment for microsystems spanning the domains of electronics, mechanics, and optics. The environment provides a solution to the problem of accurate modeling and simulation of multi-domain devices at the system level. Thi...
