In this Design Idea, we explore several ways to use SPICE [1-3] circuit analysis software to determine the Thevenin and Norton equivalent circuit parameters of linear active networks. The Thevenin ...

The open-circuit voltage vOC is simply vT because no voltage drops across RT when i = 0. To find the Thevenin equivalent resistance RT, remove all power sources and calculate the total resistance ...

Learning Outcomes State the purpose for each component in an equivalent-circuit model. Compute approximate parameter values for a circuit model using data from a simple lab test. Determine coulombic ...

This paper proposes universal decoupled equivalent circuit models using switching function to simplify the power converter circuits. Various types of power converters including full-bridge converter, ...
