Part 2 of our QSPICE tutorial explores simulation in the transient domain, an essential feature for understanding the behavior of circuits over time. We will cover the simulation of a DC power supply.

QSPICE is an analog and mixed-signal simulator characterized by high simulation speed, accuracy and reliability. It is a new program and can be downloaded here. QSPICE is still in the demonstration ...

As we have observed in previous parts of this course, in a digital system, signals can take on only two values: high or low. These values are often represented by two voltage levels. The most used ...

The widespread usage of powerful energy accumulators (batteries and supercapacitors) is leading to improvements in current management. A bidirectional DC/DC converter can prolong the battery’s life ...

Charging a battery using the constant-current/constant-voltage (CC/CV) method involves using the constant current in the initial state of charging and then switching ...
