CIRCUIT NOISE DETERMINATION SYSTEM, CIRCUIT NOISE DETERMINATION METHOD, AND CIRCUIT NOISE DETERMINATION PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18178467 titled 'CIRCUIT NOISE DETERMINATION SYSTEM, CIRCUIT NOISE DETERMINATION METHOD, AND CIRCUIT NOISE DETERMINATION PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a circuit noise determination system that analyzes the noise values of circuit elements in a target circuit and identifies elements exceeding a noise upper limit reference value. Here are the key points:

  • The system includes a reading unit that reads a netlist representing the target circuit and analysis settings for noise analysis.
  • A noise calculation unit calculates the noise values of circuit elements in the target circuit based on the netlist.
  • A circuit classification unit identifies and classifies the circuit elements in the target circuit.
  • A noise determination unit outputs a notification when elements exceed a noise upper limit reference value, which is set based on pre-defined noise determinations for each circuit classification.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Circuit design and optimization: The system can help circuit designers identify and address noise issues in their designs, leading to improved circuit performance.
  • Quality control in manufacturing: By analyzing the noise values of circuit elements, the system can detect any deviations from the desired specifications, allowing for better quality control during the manufacturing process.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Noise analysis complexity: The system simplifies the process of analyzing noise values in a circuit by automating the calculations and providing pre-defined noise determinations.
  • Identifying problematic elements: By setting a noise upper limit reference value, the system helps identify circuit elements that exceed acceptable noise levels, allowing for targeted troubleshooting and optimization.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved circuit performance: By identifying and addressing noise issues, the system helps optimize circuit designs, leading to improved overall performance.
  • Time and cost savings: The automated analysis and notification system reduces the time and effort required for manual noise analysis, resulting in cost savings for circuit designers and manufacturers.


Original Abstract Submitted
