A new method of first-, second-order and multiparameter symbolic sensitivity determination based on the nullor model of active devices and modified Coates flow graph is presented. Rules for a symbolic reduction of nullor circuit complexity are described. An algorithm performs symbolic sensitivity analysis with respect to various circuit parameters appeared not only at one location in the modified Coates flow graph. Advantages of the method suggested are that, the matrix inversion is not required and the main drawback of some methods based on the adjoint graph, i.e. the necessity to analyze the corresponding graph twice, is avoided. Illustrative examples on symbolic sensitivity analysis are given.
