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 ...

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 ...

Alternating current circuits improve the versatility and usefulness of electric power systems. In the late 1800s, Nikola Tesla demonstrated phenomena with alternating current (AC) electricity that ...

Real analysis: inequalities, the continuum property, induction, sequences, functions and limits, continuity, contraction mappings and fixed points, differentiation, mean value theorems and Taylor's ...

Calculations of power and energy are relatively straightforward when the subject is strictly dc circuits. The situation is more complex in the ac world, however. Here are the basics of watts and ...
