  • Abstract
    Hypergraphs are generalizations of graphs with applications in many areas, such as VLSI design and data mining. In this paper, we propose the use of hypergraphs as an alternative model to signal flow graphs, to provide graphical intuition on the relationships among variables in the area of circuits and systems. To demonstrate-its effectiveness, the exact computation of a multiple-stage feedback amplifier, namely the damping-factor-control frequency compensation (DFCFC) amplifier, is considered.
