Abstract :
The d.c. solution of bipolar-transistor circuits, from zero initial guess in a nodal-analysis program, is obtained effectively by controlled stepping of the d.c. excitation, exponential scaling of the linear resistors and using the Newton-Raphson algorithm with a simple damping factor in the iterative process.
