  • Abstract
    The subject of this paper is piecewise-linear DC analysis based on modified nodal formulation. Two approaches to such an analysis are first developed. The elimination of the drawbacks of these analysis methods results in an efficient piecewise-linear DC analysis method that can be used to simulate general nonlinear circuits. The method proposed has been implemented in the APLAC circuit simulator
