Sensitivity Analysis

DESIGN PHASE:       analysis
SUB ELEMENT NAME:   sensitivity analysis
VARIABLE NAME:      [HEASEN]
DATE:               REVISION LETTER:    REVISION DATE:  
APPLICABILITY:      all circuits

ACTIVITY:  Determine sensitivity of circuit to parameter changes
and evaluate results.  Assumes use of Spice.

OUTPUT:  Modification of circuit if unacceptable, print out of
sensitivities for final report if acceptable.

ALGORITHM:

[HEASEN] =          engineer hours for sensitivity analysis
0.0+                set up time
0.0*                time per part for analysis and evaluation
[PARTS COUNT]       parts in circuit
