ANALOG VS. DIGITAL SIMULATION
SIMULATION
A “simulation” is a method for solving a problem in dynamical systems, which

investigates instead of the real system a model of the system.
Computer simulation is a powerful methodology for design and analysis and

complex systems. The overall approach in computer simulation is to represent
the dynamic characteristics of a Real world system in a computer model. The
model is subjected to experiments to obtain predictive information useful in
making informed decision making about the characteristics of the real system.
Simulations are suitable for problems in which there are no closed-form
analytical solutions. Since most dynamic problems in practice cannot be
represented and solved fully using mathematical equations, computer simulation
is a powerful and flexible methodology in complex systems analysis.
Simulations can be classified into Analog and Discrete simulations. In analog

simulations, the state variables, i.e., the collection of variables needed to
describe the system, change continuously over time and the behavior of the
system is typically described by differential equations. However, discrete
simulations are event-driven simulations, where the state variables change at a
discrete point of time.

ANALOG SIMULATION
Analog Simulation is the name given to the use of a digital computer to solve models with
continuously changing states. It concerns the modeling over time of a system by a
representation in which the state variables change continuously with respect to time.
Typically, Analog simulation models involve differential equations that give relationships for
the rates of change of the state variables with time. If the differential equations are particularly
simple, they can be solved analytically to give the values of the state variables for all values
of time as a function of the values of the state variables at time 0. For most continuous models
analytic solutions are not possible, however, and numerical analysis techniques, e.g., Runge-
Kutta integration, are used to integrate the differential equations numerically (using a small
time step), given specific values for the state variables at time 0.
Several simulation products such as SIMULINK (MathWorks), acslX (Aegis Technologies),
and Dymola (Dassault Systems) have been specifically designed for building continuous
simulation models.
State variables change continuously as a function of time and generally analytical method
like deductive mathematical reasoning is used to define and solve the system.
State Variable (S.V.) = f (t)

DIGITAL SIMULATION
Digital simulation is sort of a mix between the discrete and continuous domains. It is
implemented on a computer, so the fundamental calculations are digital, but it mimics a
continuous system. Like the Laplace transfer function, it is used to describe the behavior of a
continuous system, but with much less effort.
Digital simulation concerns the modeling of a system as it evolves over time by a
representation in which the state variables change instantaneously at separate points in time.
(In more mathematical terms, we might say that the system can change at only a countable
number of points in time.) These points in time are the ones at which an event occurs, where
an event is defined as an instantaneous occurrence that may change the state of the system.
Although discrete-event simulation could conceptually be done by hand calculations, the
amount of data that must be stored and manipulated for most real-world systems dictates that
discrete-event simulation be done on a digital computer.
State variables change at discrete points in time and generally numerical method like
computational procedures is used to solve mathematical models.
State Variable (S.V.) = f (n t)

SIMULATION
DIGITAL SIMULATION
 They are succinct and to the point. Digital signals are extremely consistent. It can only
be turned on or off. When you chain the logic together in a circuit, you can achieve
some really complex effects.
 They can be copied indefinitely. When working with digital signals, such as music,
they may be replicated indefinitely without losing quality. Analog signals present in
ancient tape cassettes, on the other hand, start to sound dreadful over time.
 They're a lot more precise. Digital signals can produce extremely accurate findings
since they are either a 1 or a 0, with nothing in between. In contrast, analog can have
an almost limitless number of combinations between 1 and 0.
 Because the circuit is discrete in nature and has no circuit limitations to meet, such as
Kirchhoff's Current Law, the goal of digital simulation is considerably easier to
achieve than analog simulation (KCL).
 The depiction of a system in a format that a digital computer, rather than an analog
computer, can understand.

 Because digital simulation only deals with high-level behavior, but analog simulation
has analog implementations for the same elements, digital simulation is orders of
magnitude faster than analog simulation.
 Digital simulation Abstracts Electrical features away.
ANALOG SIMULATION
 It can be unexpected and susceptible to intervention.

 Analog is also the purest signal you can discover, and it can be found throughout the
physical world we live in.
 There are several essential electronic components used in analog circuits, such as
resistors, capacitors, diodes, and so on. Because these circuits are more difficult to
master due to their continually changing variables, you'll come across engineers whose
primary focus is understanding the analog world, such as creating analog radio
receivers or battery chargers.
 Variables such as translation, rotation, resistance, and voltage are used to depict
physical systems and events.
 The analog simulation may show significant electrical features.
CONCLUSION
To solve the Shortcoming of both Simulation a new simulation Called Mixed-Mode

simulation is Introduced. This simulation refers to circuits in which analog and digital
simulations coexist and show characteristics of both simulations.. For Example Odometer on
all automobiles where the whole miles are given digitally while the tenths are estimated on no
quantized analog-dial wheel. This form of simulation is made feasible by the hybrid elements
known as bridges. A D/A bridge converts digital signals into analog voltage signals. A digital
to analog (A/D) bridge converts analog to digital levels into digital states. The bridges not
only connect circuit elements, but they also help to synchronize the analog and digital
simulators by signaling when new analog time steps and digital events are set.
