In this Design Idea, we explore several ways to use SPICE [1-3] circuit analysis software to determine the Thevenin and Norton equivalent circuit parameters of linear active networks. The Thevenin ...

How to use statistical tools for component tolerance analysis. A look at methods such as Monte Carlo and Gaussian distribution. Simulating a dc-dc converter in LTspice to model closed-loop voltage ...

Nullator, norator, and nullers all started out as theoretical circuits. A nuller is the result of the combination of a nullator and a norator, which forms a network element with a transmission matrix ...

At one time a relatively infrequent occurrence, voltage drop is now a major impediment to reliability at advanced nodes. Decades ago, voltage drop was only an issue for very large and high-speed ...
