Abstract

From the Publisher:Written for the practicing electronics professional, Tolerance Analysis of Electronic Circuits Using MATLAB offers a comprehensive, step-by-step treatment of methods used to perform analyses essential to the design process of circuit cards and systems of cards, including worse case analysis, limits for production testing, component stress analysis, determining if a design meets specification limits, and manufacturing yield analysis.. "Using a practical approach that allows engineers and technicians to put the techniques directly into practice, the author presents the mathematical procedures used to determine performance limits. Of particular interest is the author's comparison of MATLAB results to those of Spice derived CAD programs. He shows that Spice returns incorrect results in ac worst-case analyses, and it cannot accommodate the asymmetric tolerances that often occur in design verification. Thus, unlike MATLAB, it is of little use in such problems.. "Along with this important finding, the book includes other original and unpublished material. This includes techniques for performing EVA and RSS using asymmetric tolerances, sensitivity equations for the multiple feedback bandpass filter, and a demonstration that for some ac circuits a true EVA is not realizable.
