Spring '96
EE 290N: Advanced Topics in System Theory
"Theory, Analysis, and Simulation of Nonlinear Circuits"
Instructor: Dr. Ljiljana Trajkovic
Units: 2
Scheduled: Wed, 10-12, 264M Cory
The aim of the course is to provide insights and understanding of
complex static and dynamic behavior of circuits consisting or
bipolar and MOS transistors.
Topics will include: global properties of electronic components,
properties of nonlinear circuit equations, existence and uniqueness
of dc operating points, stability of operating points and the
occurrence of bistability, methods for computing solutions to dc,
ac, and transient circuit equations, homotopy methods for finding
such solutions and their software implementations.
Emphasizes will be given to the relationship of circuit theory to
circuit design and its usefulness in practical applications.
Course may be repeated for credit. Two hours of lecture per week.
