Unfortunately, this is not the case for high level fault modeling (HLFM) and high level fault simulation (HLFS). This is still a critical issue that industry is facing in reducing analog testing cost. We present a novel algorithm using a fusion of Chebyshev and Newton interpolating polynomials (CNIP) in nonlinear state-space (ss) termed AMG-CNIP for HLFM in analog circuits. It is written in MATLAB and the hardware description language (HDL) VHDL-AMS, respectively. The properties of AMG-CNIP are investigated by modeling nonlinear transmission line circuits using transient analysis. Results show that the AMG-CNIP models can handle both linear and nonlinear fault simulations with reasonable accuracy, and simulation speedup is achieved compared to standard SPICE-level simulations. © 2014, Springer Science+Business Media New York. date: 2015 publisher: Kluwer Academic Publishers official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84925506358&doi=10.1007%2fs10470-014-0431-9&partnerID=40&md5=351732edcaeb76160d059ccafea3cfcb id_number: 10.1007/s10470-014-0431-9 full_text_status: none publication: Analog Integrated Circuits and Signal Processing volume: 82 number: 1 pagerange: 265-283 refereed: TRUE issn: 09251030 citation: Xia, L. and Farooq, M.U. and Bell, I.M.
