When we need to analyze a moderately complex circuit and we are thrown back onto our own resources because we don’t have access to SPICE or some other software aid, an issue arises that might be ...

Observations on nodal and loop analysis that can save a fair amount of scribbling of equations when using Kirchhoff's laws. In a previous Idea for Design, Anshi Chen outlined a method for analyzing ...

Author’s note: This article shows how to derive circuit gain equations via a signal flow graph. With practice you may be able to write a gain equation by locating signal paths and loops in the ...

The underlying solver algorithms used in power grid (PG) simulation today are derivations of circuit simulation algorithms first developed many decades ago. In fact, the 40 th anniversary of SPICE (a ...

Based on a presentation to the 57th Southwestern Petroleum Short Course, Lubbock, Tex., Apr. 26-29, 2010. As shown with a nodal analysis, the use of wellhead chokes on electrical submersible-pumped ...

A technique used on older process nodes is providing even more valuable benefits as IC designers work on devices that will be manufactured at advanced technology nodes including 28 nm and beyond. Now ...
