ENSC 895/ENSC 460: SPECIAL TOPICS: THEORY, ANALYSIS, AND SIMULATION OF NONLINEAR CIRCUITS

Assignment #3:

Read:
  • L. Weinberg, Network Analysis and Synthesis. Malabar, Florida: Krieger, 1962, pp. 269-280, and pp. 363-380.
  • B. Gopinath and D. Mitra, ``When are transistors passive?'' Bell Syst. Tech. J., vol. 50, pp. 2835--2847, Oct., 1971.
  • A. N. Willson, Jr., ``The no-gain property for networks containing three-terminal elements,'' IEEE Trans. Circuits Syst., vol. CAS-22, pp. 678-687, Aug. 1975.

  • For the Flip-Flop circuit shown in Figure 8 (page 4) of the ``Introduction'' article:
    (a) use PSPICE to simulate the circuit and find voltages across transistor pn-junctions and emitter and collector currents.
    (b) use MATLAB to solve equations that you derived in Assignment #1.

  • Prepare the title and the short description of the proposed final project. Include five references related to the proposed topic.
