Chapter 1

Introduction to Circuit Simulation

This chapter introduces the reader to the basic notions in the ﬁeld of circuit simula-

tion. It is highly recommended that you read this chapter before reading any other

part of the book simply to become familiar with the terminology used in the chapters

that follow.

We will start with an introduction to circuit operating point calculation. Then we

will continue with operating point sweeps and deﬁnitions of differential gain, resis-

tance, and conductance. Next we move on to time-domain modeling and analysis.

A large part of this chapter is dedicated to the frequency-domain analysis of

circuits with small signal excitations. We will give a brief introduction to Fourier

transformation and small signal circuit modeling followed by a short tutorial on

small signal noise modeling and analysis. At the end of the chapter, we move to the

Laplace transformation, s-domain modeling, and pole-zero analysis.

The order in which analyses are described in this chapter is somewhat different

than in subsequent chapters. We have done this because the basic principles of the

Fourier and Laplace transformations are harder to understand than circuit analysis

in the time domain. On the other hand, the implementation of the two transforms is

much more related to operating point analysis than it is to time-domain analysis.

Be aware that Y in this chapter denotes the Fourier transform of the circuit so-

lution vector. In all the remaining chapters, Y denotes the complex admittance, as

used everywhere else in the literature on circuit theory.

1.1 Signals and Linear Systems

A signal y is a map y W R ! R. The domain of the map is also referred to as

time (t). We denote a signal by y.t/.

Property (1.2) is also referred to as the superposition property. It means that the

response of a linear system to multiple superpositioned excitations is simply the

superposition of responses to individual excitations. This makes it possible to obtain

the response of a system by adding up the responses to individual components of

the excitation.

Linear systems possess many other useful properties. The interested reader may

refer to [47]. Despite the fact that we are discussing nonlinear circuit simulation,

much useful information can be obtained from linearized circuit models, which in

turn can be treated as linear systems.

. A linear time-invariant (LTI) system is characterized by its

impulse response h.t/. The impulse response is the response of the system to a

particular type of input signal – the Dirac impulse ı.t/. ı.t/ is zero for all values

of t, except for 0. Nothing can be said about the value of ı.0/, except that it is

inﬁnite. In fact, the Dirac impulse is deﬁned by its integral

ı.t/dt D 1.

The response to an arbitrary excitation can be expressed with the impulse re-

sponse in the following manner:

The operation denoted by  is called convolution. An LTI system is causal if its

impulse response satisﬁes h.t / D 0 for all t<0. For causal LTI systems the convo-

lution simpliﬁes to

If an LTI system is excited with a sinusoidal signal of frequency f (e.g.,

cos.2ft C '

/), it responds with a superposition of a transient signal and a

phase-shifted sinusoidal signal A

out

cos.2ftC '

The unit of the impulse response is the unit of the output signal divided by the

unit of the input signal and the unit of time. If the input is a voltage (V) and the

output is a current (A), the unit of the impulse response is

systems theory see [47].

1.2 Lumped Circuits 3

1.2 Lumped Circuits

Suppose the circuits we are considering are small. By small we mean that they are

signiﬁcantly smaller than the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation that corre-

sponds to the highest frequency at which the circuit operates. Such circuits belong

to the class of lumped circuits.

If we take, for instance, an audio ampliﬁer, we can be pretty sure that the fre-

quencies of signals in such a circuit are below 100 kHz. The wavelengths that

correspond to these frequencies are greater than 3km (assuming that the speed

of light is 3  10

m=s). So any reasonably sized audio ampliﬁer can be treated

as a lumped circuit. On the other hand, for a computer with its bus operating at

800 MHz the corresponding wavelength is 37.5 cm. With typical distances of 10 cm

between the processor and the memory, such circuits cannot be classiﬁed as lumped

circuits. The design techniques that apply to lumped circuits cannot be used for

motherboards of such computers.

Lumped circuits can be described as a set of branches. Every branch is connected

to a pair of nodes (P and N). The state of a node A is described by a voltage (v

This voltage is often referred to as the node potential or node voltage. Every branch

B is associated with a branch current (i

) and a branch voltage (v

). The orientation

of the branch voltage is indicated by the C and  signs and is associated with the

branch current which ﬂows from the C sign to the  sign (see Fig. 1.2).

A large variety of different branches can be deﬁned. They differ in the way the

branch current (or voltage) is expressed using other node voltages, branch voltages,

and branch currents in the circuit. For instance, a simple linear time-independent

resistive branch can be deﬁned with the following branch equation:



D 0; (1.5)

where R is a property of the branch and as such a constant. Similarly, a linear time-

independent capacitive branch is deﬁned with the following branch equation:

C

D 0; (1.6)

where t denotes the time.

Note that time independence does not mean that the voltage and the current are

time independent. On the contrary, they depend on time in general. Time indepen-

dence means that the resistance (R) and the capacitance C are constant. Similarly,

(1.5) and (1.6) with i

are nonlinear functions.

An element model consists of one or more branches and zero or more internal

nodes. Take, for instance, a diode (Fig. 1.3, left). Its model comprises one linear re-

sistive branch (R

), one nonlinear resistive branch (f

/), one nonlinear capacitive

branch (f

/), and one internal node (N).

Until now we have not mentioned anything about how the connection of multiple

branches to a node is modeled mathematically. In lumped circuits nodes cannot

accumulate charge, so the sum of all branch currents ﬂowing into a node must be

equal to the sum of all branch currents ﬂowing out of the node. In other words the

sum of all incident branch currents must be zero for every node. This requirement

is also referred to as the Kirchhoff current law (KCL) and is illustrated in Fig. 1.4.

Any branch voltage can be expressed as the difference of the node voltages that

belong to the two nodes to which the branch is connected (v

v

, see Fig. 1.2).

This is just a special form of the Kirchhoff voltage law (KVL).

The KVL states that the sum of all branch voltages in any closed loop consisting

of branches must be 0. Branch voltages are taken as negative if the branch direction

does not agree with the direction of the loop (see Fig. 1.5). We can quickly see that

by deﬁning the branch voltage as the difference of two node voltages, the KVL is

satisﬁed by deﬁnition.

A circuit consists of one or more elements connected to nodes. By replacing the

elements with their respective models, we can write a set of equations that uniquely
