This book was released on 1990 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This assumption causes all branch voltages to be represented by functions that are piecewise linear in time and branch currents that are piecewise constant in time, an assumption that is well suited to capacitors but contradictory to the basic law of inductors. Nevertheless, it is possible to incorporate event-driven simulation of inductors based on the conservation of flux and energy. This paper describes the theory and the implementation of the accommodation of inductors in such a piecewise approximate simulation scheme."
