DC tolerance analysis of electronic circuits by linear programming techniques
Stefano Pastore, AMEDEO PREMOLI · 2002
The real equilibrium points of electronic circuits are affected by the deviation of the real characteristics of devices from the nominal ones. We present a method to determine all the "equilibrium regions" in which real equilibrium points may fall. The analysis is based on the "spread characteristics" representing the devices affected by tolerances and on the concept of "certain/uncertain" equilibrium regions. The algorithum exploits Linear Programming Techniques.
