ENOR: Model Order Reduction of RLC Circuits Using Nodal Equations for Efficient Factorization
ENOR is an innovative way to produce provablypassive, reciprocal, and compact representations of RLC circuits. Beginning with the nodal equations, ENOR formulates recurrence relations for the moments that involve factorizing a symmetric, positive definite matrix; this contrasts with other RLC order reduction algorithms that require expensive LU factorization. It handles floating capacitors, inductor loops, and resistor links in a uniform way. It distinguishes between active and passive ports, does Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization on the fly, controls error in the time-domain. ENOR is a superbly simple, flexible, and well-conditioned algorithm for lightning reduction of mega-sized RLC trees, meshes, and coupled interconnects-all with excellent accuracy.
