Abstract
The CAD-based automatic generation of electrical network equations leads to differential-algebraic equations. To achieve a both efficient and reliable simulation tool, numerical integration software must be tailored to the special structure and properties of these systems. Hence alternatives to the classical BDF-approach are discussed. Numerical simulation results of a charge pump circuit show the merits of charge-oriented ROW-methods.
