Systematic Circuit Analysis (T&R Chap 3)

Node-voltage analysisUsing the voltages of the each node relative to a ground

node, write down a set of consistent linear equations forthese voltages

Solve this set of equations using, say, Cramer’s Rule

Mesh current analysisUsing the loop currents in the circuit, write down a set of

consistent linear equations for these variables. Solve.

This introduces us to procedures for systematicallydescribing circuit variables and solving for them

Nodal Analysis

Node voltagesPick one node as the ground nodeLabel all other nodes and assign voltages vA, vB, …, vN

and currents with each branch i1, …, iMRecognize that the voltage across a branch

is the difference between the end nodevoltagesThus v3=vB-vC with the directionas indicated

Write down the KCL relations at each nodeWrite down the branch i-v relations to express branch

currents in terms of node voltagesAccommodate current sourcesObtain a set of linear equations for the node voltages

MAE140 Linear Circuits 44

Systematic Nodal Analysis

Writing node equations by inspectionNote that the matrix equation looks

just like Gv=i for matrix G and vector v and iG is symmetric (and non-negative definite)

Diagonal (i,i) elements: sum of all conductances connectedto node i

Off-diagonal (i,j) elements: -conductance between nodes iand j

Right-hand side: current sources entering node iThere is no equation for the ground node – the column sums

give the conductance to ground

MAE140 Linear Circuits 47

Nodal Analysis – some points to watch

1. The formulation given is based on KCL with thesum of currents leaving the node0=itotal=GAtoB(vA-vB) +GAtoC(vA-vC)+…+ GAtoGroundvA+ileavingA

This yields0=(GAtoB+…+GAtoGround)vA-GAtoBvB-GAtoCvC…-ienteringA

(GAtoB+…+GAtoGround)vA-GAtoBvB-GAtoCvC…=ienteringA

2. If in doubt about the sign of the current source,go back to this basic KCL formulation

3. This formulation works for independent currentsourcesFor dependent current sources (introduced later) use your

wits

MAE140 Linear Circuits 59

Summary of Nodal Analysis

1. Simplify the cct by combining elements in series or parallel

2. Select as reference node the one with most voltage sourcesconnected

3. Label node voltages and supernode voltages – do not labelthe nodes directly connected to the reference

4. Use KCL to write node equations. Express element currentsin terms of node voltages and ICSs

5. Write expressions relating node voltages and IVSs

6. Substitute from Step 5 into equations from Step 4Write the equations in standard form

7. Solve using Cramer, Gaussian elimination or matlab

Mesh Analysis with ICSs – Method 3

Supermeshes – easier than supernodesCurrent source in more than one mesh and/or not in parallel

with a resistance1. Create a supermesh by eliminating the whole branch

involved2. Resolve the individual currents last

Summary of Mesh Analysis

1. Check if cct is planar or transformable to planar

2. Identify meshes, mesh currents & supermeshes

3. Simplify the cct where possible by combiningelements in series or parallel

4. Write KVL for each mesh

5. Include expressions for ICSs

6. Solve for the mesh currents

Linearity & Superposition

Linear cct – modeled by linear elements andindependent sourcesLinear functionsHomogeneity: f(Kx)=Kf(x)Additivity: f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y)

Superposition –follows from linearity/additivityLinear cct response to multiple sources is the sum of the

responses to each source1. “Turn off” all independent sources except one and

compute cct variables2. Repeat for each independent source in turn3. Total value of all cct variables is the sum of the values

from all the individual sources

Where are we now?

Finished resistive ccts with ICS and IVSTwo analysis techniques – nodal voltage and mesh current

Preference depends on simplicity of the case at handThe aim has been to develop general techniques for access

to analytical tools like matlab

Where to now?Active ccts with resistive elements – transistors, op-amps

Life starts to get interesting – design introducedCapacitance and inductance – dynamic ccts

Frequency response – s-domain analysisFilters
