In this article, we will explore AC analysis with the “.AC” directive, one of the main techniques for evaluating the frequency response of circuits. It is one of the most powerful features of SPICE ...

If you have ever read advanced textbooks or papers about electronics, you may have been surprised to see the use of complex numbers used in the analysis of AC circuits. A complex number has two parts: ...

In addition, since all waveforms are constant-valued at equilibrium points, and so capacitors act as open circuits and inductors act as short circuits. There in lies the basic algorithm for computing ...

Although SPICE can be a powerful tool, there are pitfalls in relying solely on simulation. To avoid unpleasant surprises, it's imperative that a SPICE simulation be anchored to a detailed ...

Trying to probe a modern electronic circuit with tiny SMD components, without letting the magic smoke escape in the process, can be quite a challenge. Especially since we hackers have not yet ...

UofG engineers are teaming up with industry to develop environmentally-friendly, biodegradable circuit boards for use in ...
