Operating point analysis — determines the dc operating point of the circuit with inductors shorted and capacitors opened. Operating point sweep analysis — determines the values of output variables while one or two specified independent voltage or current source is stepped over; Pole-zero analysis (AC) Small-Signal distortion analysis and ...
Load lines can be used separately for both DC and AC analysis. The DC load line is the load line of the DC equivalent circuit, defined by reducing the reactive components to zero (replacing capacitors by open circuits and inductors by short circuits). It is used to determine the correct DC operating point, often called the Q point.
The solution principles outlined here also apply to phasor analysis of AC circuits. Two circuits are said to be equivalent with respect to a pair of terminals if the voltage across the terminals and current through the terminals for one network have the same relationship as the voltage and current at the terminals of the other network.
GNU Circuit Analysis Package (Gnucap) is a general purpose circuit simulator started by Albert Davis [1] in 1993. [2] It is part of the GNU Project. [3] The latest stable version is 0.35 from 2006. The latest development snapshot (as of July 2023) is from June 2023 and is usable.
It is applicable to electronic circuits in which the AC signals (i.e., the time-varying currents and voltages in the circuit) are small relative to the DC bias currents and voltages. A small-signal model is an AC equivalent circuit in which the nonlinear circuit elements are replaced by linear elements whose values are given by the first-order ...
Then the resistance seen by the test voltage is found using the circuit in the right panel of Figure 1 and is simply V X / I X = R 1. Form the product C 1 R 1. Add these terms. In effect, it is as though each capacitor charges and discharges through the resistance found in the circuit when the other capacitor is an open circuit.
In electronics, it is common to refer to a circuit that is powered by a DC voltage source such as a battery or the output of a DC power supply as a DC circuit even though what is meant is that the circuit is DC powered. In a DC circuit, a power source (e.g. a battery, capacitor, etc.) has a positive and negative terminal, and likewise, the load ...
A non-ideal DC voltage waveform can be viewed as a composite of a constant DC component (offset) with an alternating (AC) voltage—the ripple voltage—overlaid. The ripple component is often small in magnitude relative to the DC component, but in absolute terms, ripple (as in the case of HVDC transmission systems) may be thousands of volts.
