When designing circuits, most analog engineers rely largely on experience and trial-and-error methods, eschewing much of the matrix algebra they learned in college ...

Neuronal networks are high-dimensional graphs that are packed into three-dimensional nervous tissue at extremely high density. Comprehensively mapping these networks is therefore a major challenge.

Following historically from the earlier work of Blackman, Gray and Searle, Cochrun and Grabel (and Rosenstark) are some newer circuit analysis methods developed by R. D. Middlebrook of Caltech. This ...

A variety of linear models are available to represent common active electronic devices such as transistors and vacuum tubes. Devices operating under large-signal conditions often require nonlinear ...

Analyzing failures in printed circuit boards (PCBs) is critical to ensure the functionality and reliability of electronic devices. A synopsis of the methods and techniques utilized in PCB failure ...

The Bandgap Reference (BGR) circuit is a key element in Very-large-scale Integration (VLSI) designs, providing a stable reference voltage that is crucial for the performance and reliability of analog ...

Modern integrated circuits are increasingly vulnerable to power supply noise and the ensuing induced jitter, phenomena that can significantly impair circuit reliability and performance. The interplay ...

Insects show a variety of species-specific innate behaviors (instinctive behaviors). For example, a worker honeybee that has found flower nectar exhibits 8-shape waggle-dances upon returning to its ...

Engineering is all about choosing the best compromise—both for a SPICE model that provides reasonable fidelity and for the tools enabling that model to be employed. A variety of linear models are ...
