Preface The purpose of this book is to provide an improved SPICE-like, worst-case analysis (WCA) capability using Mathcad. To achieve more accurate WCA methods, a SPICE-like netlist or node list method of nominal circuit analysis was developed first. Subprogram routines were then added to perform tolerance analyses using Root-Sum-Square (RSS), Extreme Value Analysis (EVA), and Monte Carlo Analysis (MCA) in the DC, frequency, and time domains. Note that “SPICE” is a generic term referring to the public domain software developed by the University of California–Berkeley in the early 1980s. Several companies were started after converting the Fortran code to C and adding a graphics interface. These commercial versions are very capable in nominal circuit analysis and, correspondingly, expensive. There are many areas in SPICE WCA that range from nonexistent or weak capability to erroneous analyses. Most if not all of these deficiencies still exist in many commercial versions. These areas are: • • • • • • • •
A 400-sample Monte Carlo limitation — not nearly enough for adequate statistical confidence levels No RSS capability No direct method of handling asymmetric component tolerances, e.g., +2%, 4% No Fast Monte Carlo Analysis (FMCA) capability* No single-run method of tolerancing inputs No direct method of detecting nonmonotonic components, which cause erroneous WCA outputs No AC frequency sweep sensitivity capability No predefined beta (skewed) or bimodal (gapped) distributions available for MCA
In addition, the SPICE random number generator used for MCA repeatedly supplies the same set of random numbers with each analysis run. To correct this, a new seed must be supplied before each new run. (This is equivalent to having the same 20 numbers come up every time in a Las Vegas keno game.) Some commercial versions may have improved a few of these areas, as most companies want to make a good product better. All of these deficiencies have been addressed and corrected in the supplied Mathcad software on the CD and demonstrated using many examples in this book. For example, the number of Monte Carlo samples is now limited only by the amount * Boyd, R., Tolerance Analysis of Electronic Circuits Using Mathcad, CRC Press, Boca Raton, FL, 1999, p. 87.
of memory on the computer platform used. Those readers knowledgeable in statistics know that in Monte Carlo analysis, more is better. It is the author’s hope that this book will provide a much less expensive and more accurate method of performing tolerance analysis of electronic circuits.
The Author Robert R. Boyd was a technical instructor in the United States Air Force for 19 years. Upon his retirement in 1971, he enrolled at the University of New Mexico and received a B.S.E.E. degree with honors in 1974. He was subsequently employed in the aerospace industry, including 8 years with Hughes Aircraft Co., in analog circuit design until 1993 and as a consultant until 2002. He taught courses in tolerance analysis at the University of California Extension, Irvine, in 1998 and 1999. He has authored two books, Tolerance Analysis of Electronic Circuits Using MATLAB and Tolerance Analysis of Electronic Circuits Using Mathcad, both published by CRC Press in 1999.

Introduction
1.1 NOMINAL ANALYSIS The features of this analysis are: • • •
• • •
Loop or nodal analysis math is not required. It uses SPICE-like node lists. All four types of controlled (dependent) sources can be used. It has DC and AC multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) capability. • Maximum number of inputs: 10 • Maximum number of outputs: No limit (all circuit nodes) Transient (time-domain) analysis. Three-phase circuit analysis. DC, AC, three-phase, and transient tolerance analysis methods (discussed in Part II).
1.1.1 INTRODUCTION Using state space methods, the circuit DC, AC, and transient response can all be obtained from the same initial analysis. Hence, there is an economy of effort that makes it worthwhile to learn state space techniques. However, conventional state space methods require an inordinate amount of circuit analysis algebra. This book shows a SPICE-like method for creating state space arrays with minimal effort. The numerical transfer function can also be a part of the solution using Leverrier’s algorithm. Hence, this method eliminates the algebra required for conventional circuit analysis techniques as taught in some undergraduate electrical engineering curriculums. The simple procedure entails creating node lists directly from the schematic, very much similar to early commercial versions of SPICE. This original method is called node list DC superposition (NDS). The purpose of presenting this material in Part I is to provide easy SPICE-like analysis methods for the working engineer if SPICE is not available owing to network downtime, network queuing (owing to limited site licenses), or, as sometimes happens in smaller companies, simply has not been purchased. Circuits of at least medium complexity can be simulated. (See Section 3.15 for a circuit with a component count of 68.) The primary goal, however, is to demonstrate correct tolerance analysis methods (Part II). The prerequisite nominal circuit analysis NDS method along with numerous examples is covered in Part I.

1.1.2 THE NDS METHOD
OF
NOMINAL CIRCUIT ANALYSIS
It is assumed that electrical engineers are somewhat familiar with matrix analysis and state space methods; hence, the introductory material is not extensive. Familiarity with these subjects and Mathcad is necessary. As previously stated, a big advantage of state space analysis is that the DC output, AC frequency response, transient response, and circuit transfer function (using Leverrier’s algorithm) can all be obtained from one initial analysis. Another advantage is that state space matrices or arrays are real, not complex. Complex matrices obtained from loop or nodal analysis require a real array twice the size of a complex array to obtain a solution. Hence, state space methods decrease execution time for large arrays and increase solution accuracy. This becomes apparent when it is recalled that the number of arithmetic operations required to find a determinant is directly proportional to N!, where N is the dimension of the square array. The matrix equations used in state space analysis are dx dx = Ax + Bu, y = Dx + Eu + G dt dt where A, B, D, E, and G are arrays; x, a column vector of the state variables; u, a column vector of inputs; and y, the output. In most analyses, array G is a null (zero) array. (For an example using the G array, see Section 12.3.) Taking the Laplace transform of the first equation and substituting in the second gives the following with G = 0: y = D(sI – A)–1 Bu + Eu where I is an identity matrix. In the NDS method, the input u is included in B and E so that y = D(sI – A)–1 B + E The “state variables” are the capacitor voltages and inductor currents. Using N as the order of the circuit (number of L’s and/or C’s), M as the number of inputs, and K as the number of outputs, the arrays have the following dimensions (in {row column} format): Array A B D E G x u I
Rows N N K K K N M N
Columns N M N M N 1 1 N
Introduction

Using dimensional notation, {row col}, y is {K N}{N N}{N M} + {K M} = {K M}. Then, y is a transfer matrix with the dimensions {K M} or {output input} Note that in multiplying matrices, the inner dimensions in {row col} order must be the same. That is, if A is {N N} and B is {N M}, they cannot be multiplied as BA because {N M}{N N}, the inner dimensions, do not match. But they can be multiplied as AB = {N N}{N M}. The dimension of the product is the outside dimensions of both, i.e., {N M}. Hence, the dimension of the product {K N}{N N}{N M} is {K M}, which can be added to E = {K M} (The two arrays are then said to be “conformable” for multiplication if the inner dimensions are the same, and they are conformable for addition if the dimensions are equal.)
1.1.3 GENERAL GUIDELINES The SPICE node list text format is Ref Desig From node To node Component value. An example would be R3 6 9 10K. The node lists used in the NDS method are arrays of the form [From node To node Ref Desig], the component value having been specified prior to node list creation. Node numbering must start with 1 and be in numerical sequence up to 89. Nodes 99, 98, …, 91, 90 are reserved for inputs, and node 0 is for ground. There is no requirement for the resistor node list as to node sequence. That is, [4 5 R1] and [5 4 R1] are both accepted. For the capacitor node list and the inductor node list, however, the sequence must correspond to Kirchoff’s current law (KCL): current flow from left to right and from top to bottom. Hence, [3 6 C1] will work, but [6 3 C1] may give the wrong phase angle output and incorrect output polarity in DC and transient analyses. The open loop gain of opamps is set at 106 V/V or 120 dab. In the majority of circuit examples, no opamp frequency rolloff is used. However an example is given on how to create an opamp with rolloff using voltage-controlled voltage sources (VCVSs) (see Section 3.7 and Section 3.8). The Mathcad file in Section 3.18 demonstrates how to embed the opamp rolloff models into circuits, much like subcircuits in SPICE. Component values should generally be kept within the bounds of 1E+12 and 1E–12. Numbers outside this range run the risk of excessively increasing the A matrix condition number. This will cause solution accuracy to diminish. A guideline that can be used is the number of decimal places of accuracy, which is 15 – log10 × (condition number). If a solution appears incorrect or unreasonable, the condition number of matrix A should be checked using the Mathcad statement floor(15log(conde(A))). The reference paths for the subprogram files are localized for the author’s computer. In creating new files, the user must click on Insert, then on Reference, and then enter the correct local path or go to Browse. Two of the most important Mathcad subprogram files are named as follows: For DC: dccomm42.mcd (creates A1 and B2 arrays) For AC: comm42.mcd (creates A, B, D, and E arrays)

Node List Tolerance Analysis: Enhancing SPICE Capabilities with Mathcad
All of the necessary Mathcad subprograms are contained in the included CD. There is no error trapping. Users must ensure that the node lists correctly represent the circuit being analyzed and that all required input arrays are included. The version of the software used is Mathcad 11.0. (Note that due to internal bugs in Mathcad 8.0, some files will not run on that version. Intermediate versions have not been tested.) Some mathematical ability will be helpful for some advanced subjects such as the theory of the NDS method (Appendix I), stability analysis, Leverrier’s algorithm, and transient analysis.

Calculated using the Mathcad subprogram file comm42.mcd: Ncap = number of capacitors Nind = number of inductors N = Ncap + Nind M = number of independent inputs (= 1 here, but can be up to 10) K = number of outputs (= 1, but can be up to U) User input: U = number of unknown nodes (= 3 here). Y = output node (can be any or all of the three nodes V1, V2, or V3). Number nodes sequentially from 1 to U (V1, V2, V3,…); 0 is ground. Maximum value of U = 89. Independent voltage input nodes are numbered from 99, 98, …, 90. (Note that if only one input source is present, use 99 as the node number; if two inputs, use 99, 98; if three inputs, use 99, 98, 97, etc.) Component reference designator sequence is optional. It can be R1, L2, Ra, Cx, R301, etc. A sequential numbering has been used for convenience.

For AC analysis, log frequency sweep: BF = Beginning log frequency = 10BF Hz ND = Number of decades from BF PD = Points per decade Total number of frequency points NP = ND·PD + 1 Linear frequency sweep BF = Beginning frequency in Hz LF = Last frequency in Hz DF = Frequency increment LF − BF +1 DF Using the RCL circuit, creating the node lists is just as easy as in early versions of SPICE. For the resistors, we create the array RR: Total number of frequency points NP =

The first column is one of the two nodes that the resistor is connected to, whereas the second column is the other node. The last column is the reference designator for the resistor, the value of which has been given previously. For the capacitors, we create the array CC: 1 CC = 3

For the inductors, we similarly create the array LL: 1 LL = 3

The inputs are listed in the array Ein as Ein = (99 1). The first number indicates the node and the second, the amplitude in volts, which is usually set to 1. All independent inputs are referenced to ground. Because this circuit is passive with no controlled sources, this must be shown for VCVSs as EE = 0. No Voltage-Controlled-Current (VCCS) is shown as GG = 0.

The algebraic solution of a sample RCL circuit is given to show the amount of labor saved using the NDS method. For those less mathematically inclined, the next three pages can be skipped.

Solving Equation 4 for V2: V2 = iL 3 ⋅ R 2 + vC 2 +

V1 = vC1 + V2 From Equation 2

Because there are no input terms Ein in the output: E := 0 Prior to this shortcut method [*], the algebra would have to continue as follows. Isolating iC1 in Equation 8: iC1 =

Because iC1 = C1 ⋅ dvC1 − vC1 = dt C1

From Equation 9: iC 2 = i L 3 − i L 4 +

Substituting Equation 10 into Equation 12: iC 2 = i L 3 − i L 4 +

2.7 ALL-CAPACITIVE LOOPS (ACL) In a physical circuit, two or more capacitors in parallel can occur, such as in power supply decoupling circuits. However, in converting capacitors to ideal independent voltage sources (which is done using this method of analysis), we end up with a violation of Kirchoff’s laws. For example, in the circuit that follows:
C1
C2
C3
+ −
E1
+ −
E2
+ −
E3
Passive Circuits
31
If we assign arbitrary values to E1, E2, and E3, Kirchoff’s Voltage Law (KVL) is violated around any of the three possible loops. If we assign the value of +1 V to all three, because the resistance is zero, infinite current will flow around the loops unless all assigned values of 1.0 have an infinite number of zeros after the decimal point, e.g., if E1 – E2 = 10–9000 V divided by zero resistance is infinite current. Another example of an ACL is: C2
C1
C3
When converted to ideal voltage sources, KVL is again violated. For example, if the arbitrary values were C1 = E1 = 10 V, C2 = E2 = 7 V, and C3 = E3 = 20 V, KVL yields –10 + 7 + 20 = +17 V ≠ 0. Every “real-world” capacitor has a small amount of series resistance, termed equivalent series resistance (ESR). The cure in state space analysis of circuits with ACLs is to place a small ESR resistor (≈ 0.01 Ω) in series with all (or all but one) of the capacitors. E1

2.8 ALL-INDUCTIVE CUTSETS (ICS) A similar problem occurs with circuits having two or more inductors connected to the same node. In this analysis method, the inductors become ideal current sources connected to the same node, and we end up with a violation of Kirchoff's Current Law (KCL), as shown in the following: L1 L2
I1 V1
L3
I2
+
−
+
−
V1 I3
+
−
Kirchoff’s Current Law at node V1 is I1 + I2 = I3. This law is violated regardless of the values of I1, I2, and I3. The term cut set comes from circuit topology. If we were to place a small “cookie cutter” at node V1, it would cut the wires of all three inductors. Thus, we are cutting a set of inductor wires.

Node List Tolerance Analysis: Enhancing SPICE Capabilities with Mathcad
The cure is to place “de-Qing” resistors in parallel with at least one of the inductors as shown in the following. The values to be used will depend on the remainder of the circuit and the desired L/R time constants.

In defense of the NDS method, it should be stated that ACLs and/or ICSs will cause any state space analysis method to fail if additional corrective steps are not taken. See, for example, Intermediate Network Analysis, Shlomo Karni, Allyn & Bacon, 1971.

3.1 CONTROLLED (DEPENDENT) SOURCES 3.1.1 VOLTAGE-CONTROLLED CURRENT SOURCE (VCCS) SPICE convention: Gname Vp Vn Vcp Vcn Transconductance The units of transconductance are amperes/volts = 1/ohms = siemens (or mhos, for you old-timers). Vp and Vn are the node connections of the current source in the circuit. Current flows away from node Vp (into the + terminal of the source) and towards node Vn, going out of the source. Vcp and Vcn are the + and controlling voltage nodes. This convention is chosen because virtually all models of transistors and MOSFETs depict the current as flowing down and internally away from the collector or drain terminal of the device. Example: MOSFET drain current: Id = gm·Vgs = gm(Vg – Vs) Here Vg and Vs are Vcp and Vcn, respectively. Because Id is dependent by definition, it is unknown, as usually are Vg and Vs. In MathCAD, GG = (Vp Vn Vcp Vcn Gain) For a MOSFET, GG = (Vp Vn Vg Vs gm)
3.1.2 CURRENT-CONTROLLED CURRENT SOURCE (CCCS) SPICE convention: Fname Vp Vn Controlling Current Gain In the NDS analysis method, the controlling current is specified as I = f(V/R) Ein − V1 Example: Ic = B ⋅ lb = B R1
3.1.3 VOLTAGE-CONTROLLED VOLTAGE SOURCE (VCVS) SPICE convention: Ename Vp Vn Vcp Vcn Gain As in VCCS, Vp and Vn are the + and connections of the source in the circuit, and Vcp and Vcn are the + and controlling nodes. Example: V1 V2 = k(V3 V4), or in SPICE Ename V1 V2 V3 V4 k In MathCAD, EE = (Vp Vn Vcp Vcn Gain) = (V1 V2 V3 V4 k) For an opamp, which is usually a single-ended output, Vo = Ao(Vcp Vcn), where typically Ao = 106 V/V. For an inverter, Vcp = 0. For a voltage follower, Vo is connected to Vcn and
35
36
Node List Tolerance Analysis: Enhancing SPICE Capabilities with Mathcad
Vo − AoVcp + AoVo = 0, Vo (1 + Ao ) = AoVcp Vo =
AoVcp Ao = Vcp, since ≈1 1+Ao 1 + Ao
and in MathCAD as EE = (Vo 0 Vcp Vcn Ao) = (Vo 0 Vcp Vo Ao)
3.1.4 CURRENT-CONTROLLED VOLTAGE SOURCE (CCVS) SPICE convention: Hname +V –V Controlling Current Transresistance The units of transresistance are volts/amperes = ohms. Only two types are used in NDS method, the VCVS and the VCCS. Conversions from the remaining two are easily accomplished as shown in the following subsections.
3.1.5 CCVS
TO
VCVS
To convert a CCVS to a VCVS, divide the controlling current nodes by the resistance in the controlling current branch. (This “resistance” could be that of a printed circuit board trace or wire, or a small current-sensing resistor.) Example: Assume the controlling current Ic is through a resistor or resistance R2, which is connected to nodes V2 and V1. Then V2 − V1 Rc Vh = Rc ⋅ Ic = Rc = (V2 − V1) Gain = Rc / R2 R 2 R 2 The gain is thereby converted from a “transresistance” in dimensions of ohms, to a dimensionless gain. MathCAD format: EE = (Vp Vn Vcp Vcn Gain) = (Vh 0 V2 V1 Rc/R2), which is very similar to the SPICE format.
3.1.6 CCCS
TO
VCCS
To convert a CCCS to a VCCS, divide the (dimensionless) gain by the resistance of the “controlling current.” Example: B Ein − V1 Ic = B ⋅ lb = B = ( Ein − V1) R1 R1 The controlling voltage is now Ein – V1, and the “gain,” with dimension 1/ohms or “transconductance,” is B/R1. In MathCAD format, GG = (Vp Vn Vcp Vcn Gain) = (Vp Vn Ein V1 B/R1).
Controlled Sources
37
To repeat, the first input Ein is given the node number 99. For a second input, Ein2 = 98, Ein3 = 97, etc., down to 90. For example, if Vp = 2, Vn = 1, Vcp = 99, Vcn = 1, then GG = (2 1 99 1 B/R1).
3.1.7 FOUR RULES THAT MUST BE OBSERVED 1. The output of a controlled source cannot be connected directly to an independent input source. That is, EE = (99 0 2 1 gain) is not allowed. Input voltage sources are specified, for example, as Ein = (99 5), the input connected from node 99 to ground, with an amplitude of +5 V. However, EE = (2 0 99 1 gain), one input being a controlling node, Vcp or Vcn, is allowed. Here and as earlier, “99” represents any of the nodes 99, 98, 97, … , etc., down to 90. An independent source can be created by having Vcp = 99, 98, etc., and Vcn = 0. For example, assume Ein = (99 5), and it is desired to connect an independent 15-mA current source at an internal node V2 to node V7. Then GG = (2
7
99
0
0.015/5)
For an independent 15 V source at the same nodes: EE = (2 7 99 0 15/5) 2. Vp in a VCVS is not allowed to be zero. That is, the output nodes of a VCVS must always be (Vp 0) or (Vp Vn). For example, EE = (0 2 3 0 gain) is not allowed. If a negative output is desired, use EE = (2 0 3 0 – gain) or EE = (2 0 0 3 gain). 3. If a capacitor C or inductor L in the circuit being analyzed is connected directly to an ideal input source, it must have an equivalent series resistance (ESR) resistor in series between it and the source. That is CC = (99 1 C1) or LL = (98 2 L1) are not allowed. This will be a minor inconvenience as every real-world capacitor and inductor has an ESR. Also, every real-world voltage source has some finite internal source impedance which includes resistance. Hence, the simulation will be more realistic with ESR included. If in doubt about what value of ESR to use, use 0.01 Ω for capacitors and 0.05 Ω for inductors. 4. The nodes Vp or Vn of two or more VCVS’s (EE) must not be common. That is 2 EE = 2
1 0
12 3
4 4
4 2
is not allowed. In the NDS method, this results in “node contention,” and the solution will not be correct. As in SPICE, every circuit must have at least one ground node (node 0).

3.3 CIRCUITS WITH M > 1 The subprogram that constructs the A, B, D, and E arrays from the node lists also counts the number of rows in the Ein array and assigns this value to M. In most cases, the user is interested in the node voltages with all inputs active. In some cases, however, the separate superposed contribution of each independent input may be desired. Hence, there are two different subprograms to call, depending on the type of output desired. For DC, call dccomm42.mcd if the user wants all inputs active simultaneously. (Most frequently used.) Call dccomm42m.mcd if the separate contribution of each independent input, M > 1, one at a time, is desired. For AC, call comm42.mcd for all inputs active, and comm42m.mcd to separate the node voltages due to the M > 1 inputs. For a simple example, we use one “circuit” with M = 3 inputs and U = 3 unknown nodes: Ein1 Ein 2 Ein 3 0.1 A 3 : = −0.01 0
−0.01 0.2 −0.02

This applies only to those circuits with more than one input, where Ein has more than one row and M > 1. Example DC circuit with M = 2: K := 103 R7

VAB := Vn(U, Y, EE, GG, RR, CC, LL, Ein) Note: Except for the second line in the Vn routine (given earlier), this routine, the VAB statement (given earlier), and the Vo routine below are universal. That is, they can be used to step values in column 3 of RR, CC, or LL and column 5 of GG or EE in any AC circuit. Similar statements apply for stepping resistor values in DC circuits.

Leverrier’s Algorithm
4.1 NUMERICAL TRANSFER FUNCTION [1] The transfer matrix G is a matrix of output/input transfer functions. It has the dimensions {K M}, or {output input}. The desired numerical transfer function is an element of the transfer matrix G. For example, output 1 / input 2 would be G12. Leverrier’s algorithm finds both. Note that in the following sequence, the symbol tr( ) indicates the trace of a matrix, i.e., the sum of the diagonal elements. General subscripts are given in parentheses, but specific ones are not. That is, FN – 1 is designated F(N – 1). However, F2 would be designated by F2. This is to prevent double subscript sets in later equations. For a given matrix A of dimension {N N}, the general sequence is: I = identity(N) F = (N – 1) = I T(N − 1) =
− tr A ⋅ F ( N − 1) 1
F = (N − 2 ) = A ⋅ F (N − 1) + T(N − 1) ⋅ I T(N − 2 ) =
− tr A ⋅ F ( N − 2 )
F = (N − 3) = A ⋅ F (N − 2 ) + T(N − 2 ) ⋅ I T(N − 3) =
− tr A ⋅ F ( N − 3)
2
3
F1 = A ⋅ F 2 + T2 ⋅ I T1 =
− tr ( A ⋅ F1) N −1
F 0 = A ⋅ F1 + T1 ⋅ I T0 =
− tr ( A ⋅ F 0 ) N
The numerator coefficients are then: Y(N − 1) = D ⋅ F (N − 1) ⋅ B + E ⋅ T(N − 1) Y(N − 2 ) = D ⋅ F (N − 2 ) ⋅ B + E ⋅ T(N − 2 )
Y1 = D ⋅ F1 ⋅ B + E ⋅ T1 Y0 = D ⋅ F 0 ⋅ B + E ⋅ T0

The output I / input J transfer function extracted from the {K M} transfer matrix G is then: GI J (s) =
E I J sN + Y ( N − 1)I J s N−1 + Y ( N − 2 )I J s N− 2 + + Y1I J s + Y0 I J sN + T ( N − 1) sN−1 + T ( N − 2 ) sN− 2 + + T1s + T0
A simple example will help clarify the procedure. Let −1 A=0 0
0 −4 −1
0 1 4 , I = 0 0 0
0 1 0
0 0 1
in which N = 3 The trace of A = 5; the trace of I = 3. Sequence is: F2 = I
T2 =
4 − tr ( A ⋅ F 2 ) = 5, F1 = A ⋅ F 2 + T2 ⋅ I = 0 1 0
T1 =
4 − tr ( A ⋅ F1) = 8, F 0 = A ⋅ F1 + T1 ⋅ I = 0 2 0
T0 =
− tr ( A ⋅ F 0 ) =4 3
0 1 −1
0 4 4
0 0 −1
The denominator of GI,J is then D(s) = s3 + T2s2 + T1s + T0 = s3 + 5s2 + 8s + 4 Let the D, B, and E arrays be, with {K M} = {2 2}. −1 D= 0
0 0

Then:
G1,2 =

s 3 + 5s 2 + 8s + 4
and G2,2 is G 2 ,2 =
s 3 + 4 s 2 + 2s − 1 , s 3 + 5s 2 + 8s + 4
etc. Another way to find D(s) is by using eigenvalues: −1 A=0 0
0 −4 −1
0 −2 4 , eigenvals( A) = −2 −1 0
then D(s) = (s + 1)(s + 2)(s + 2) = s3 + 5s2 + 8s + 4 A circuit example is given in Section 4.2.

Transient Analysis
6.1 INTRODUCTION One method of transient analysis is based on the following equation: ∆x = Ax + Bu or ∆x = (Ax + Bu)·∆t ∆t Because A and B are already known using the NDS method, the task is to determine ∆t. If ∆t is too large, the solution will not be accurate. If ∆t is excessively large, the solution will not converge. If too small, a longer-than-necessary execution time may be required. The time increment ∆t generally should be less than the smallest time constant in the A matrix. This should be used as a guide in selecting the initial value of ∆t. Some adjustment may be required for circuits with very fast and very slow time constants. A simple circuit is used as the first example. R1
V1
Ein R2
R1 := 20·K
R2 := 40·K
C1
C1 := 0.5·uF
Ein := 4.5
The time constant of this circuit is easily found to be:
Rp := τ := Rp· C1
R1 ⋅ R 2 R1 + R 2
τ = 6.667 ms
To confirm this, KCL at the node V1 gives: Ein − V1 V1 = + iC1 R1 R2 1 Ein 1 iC1 = −V1 ⋅ + + R1 R 2 R1 115
116
Node List Tolerance Analysis: Enhancing SPICE Capabilities with Mathcad
Noting that V1 = vC1 and substituting iC1 = C1 ⋅ dvC1 − vC1 = dt C1
dvC1 dt
Ein 1 1 , ⋅ + + R1 R 2 R1 ⋅ C1
which is in the state space form dx = Ax + Bu dt Then
A := u := Ein
−1 1 1 ⋅ + C1 R1 R 2
A = –150
B = 100
B :=
1 R1 ⋅ C1
u = 4.5
The time constant of A is 1 = 6.667 ms A which is τ as in the preceding text. We then chose ∆t = 1 ms < τ. Using ∆x = (Ax + Bu)⋅∆t we initialize: Vc1 := 0 (can be an initial condition other than zero) ∆Vc1 := (A·Vc1 +B·Ein)·∆t Vc1 = 0.45 Vc2 = ∆Vc1 +Vc1 Vc2 = 0.45 ∆Vc2 := (A·Vc2 +B·Ein)·∆t Vc2 = 0.383 Vc3 = ∆Vc2 +Vc2 Vc3 = 0.832 Combining: Vc2 := (A·Vc1 +B·Ein)·∆t + Vc1 Vc3 := (A·Vc2 +B·Ein)·∆t + Vc2
Vc2 = 0.45 Vc3 = 0.832
Setting the maximum number of iteration to kmax : = 50 and indexing k := 2..kmax, Vck : = (A·Vck-1 +B·Ein)·∆t + Vck-1 The total sweep time is: kmax⋅∆t = 50 ms, which should be sufficient because 5⋅τ = 33.33 ms.

Ein ⋅ Rp =3 R1 Note the lag of Vc behind the continuous time function F(t). We can decrease this lag by decreasing Dt to 0.5 ms and by increasing kmax from 50 to 100 to maintain the same sweep time: The steady-state value is
∆t := 0.5·ms
kmax :=
50 ⋅ ms ∆t
kmax = 100
k := 2..kmax (for computing) Vc1 := 0 Vck := (A·Vck–1 + B·Ein·∆t + Vck–1 k := 1..kmax (for plotting)

Further reduction of ∆t would result in the two plots approaching congruency. The reader is encouraged to select larger values of ∆t and note the deleterious effect on the solution. As will be shown, this method applies irrespective of whether A and B are scalars as in the preceding text or arrays.

Switch Q1 is the open-collector (OC) transistor output of an LM339 comparator. Vn is the inverting input, and Vp is the noninverting input to the LM339. Hence, when Vn > Vp, Q1 will be ON (switch closed), and when Vn < Vp, Q1 will be OFF (switch open). When power is applied (Ein = +5 V DC), C1 will charge up to a voltage greater than Vp, closing switch Q1, and then discharging C1 towards a voltage less than Vp, which opens the switch, and the cycle repeats. Hence, the output of the LM339 will go high (Q1 OFF) and low (Q1 ON) at a rate determined by the circuit time constants. With the given, component values the frequency of oscillation is about 100 Hz. From the plot in the following text, the falling edges of Vc are about 10 ms apart, for a period of 100 Hz. Note that max Vce(sat) is given on the LM339 data sheet as 0.25 V. This is simulated by setting the ON resistance of Q1 to 150 Ω. U := 3 LL := 0

Instead of looking at the output voltage nodes Y, we have the option of looking at the capacitor voltages and inductor currents using the following seeded iteration method. V1 is the voltage across C1, V2 on C2, I3 is the current in L3, and I4 in L4.

Call rkfixed: Z := rkfixed(x, 0, T, kmax, D) “rkfixed” uses a constant internally calculated ∆t. The Mathcad ordinary differential equation (ODE) solver “Rkadapt” uses a variable ∆t that can be faster because ∆t is large for slowly-varying outputs and small for fast-varying outputs. It is called in the same manner as “rkfixed.” Z : = Rkadapt(x, 0, T, kmax, D)
n := 1..kmax
(Note: To verify identical outputs with rkfixed and Rkadapt, right-click on Z statement, and then click “Disable Evaluation.” A black square will appear denoting disabled. Then compare with the following plots.) C1 & C2 voltage waveforms 1.2

Stiff ODEs can be defined as a large disparity between absolute minimum and maximum values of the elements of the A matrix, i.e., very slow and very fast time constants in the circuit (the slow ones are “stiff”). This circuit is not stiff, but the pulse transformer model given earlier is, and the function rkfixed did not provide the correct output. For stiff circuits, use “Stiffb” as follows: initialize and form the {N N+1} Jacobian array function J(t,x) using the elements from the A matrix: 0 0 x := 0 0
0 0 J ( t, x ) : = 0 0

6.10 STATE SPACE AVERAGING State Space Averaging was developed by Dr. R.D. Middlebrook of the California Institute of Technology in the early 1980’s. The concept itself is not difficult, but in those days the difficult part was the amount of algebra one had to resort to in obtaining the state space arrays. (See Section 1.1.1., Introduction, and Section 2.2). The NDS method now provides a painless method of obtaining the state space arrays, A, B, D, & E, greatly simplifying the process of State Space Averaging, as will be seen in this section. uF := 10–6 mV := 10–3 C1 := 47·uF

This plot indicates that maximum amplitudes will only be obtained at 447 and 568 Hz. What about at, say, 480 Hz? F41 = 480Hz
(MPeva2)41 = 3.38V
Is 3.38 V the maximum this circuit will ever see at 480 Hz? The answer is no. See the FMCA analysis in Section 11.11.

Peak responses are shown here for 9 of the 32 possible tolerance combinations. This analysis says that 7.73 V is the maximum we will ever see at 480 Hz. This obviously contradicts the EVA, where 3.38 V was predicted as the maximum amplitude. The FMCA, although showing interesting plots, is also incorrect. For the best answer, see the previous MCA (Section 11.9).

See the following text for an explanation of what causes the MCA spikes with common tolerances.
11.17.1 SALLEN AND KEY BPF — MCA AND PRECISION TOLERANCES
WITH BOTH
COMMON
This circuit is designed for a center frequency fo of 500 Hz, a peak gain of 10 V/V, and a Q of 10. Two output plots were shown. The first is with precision resistor tolerances of 0.2% and capacitor tolerances of 1%.
268
Node List Tolerance Analysis: Enhancing SPICE Capabilities with Mathcad
Compare this plot with the second one, which uses common tolerances of 2% and 10% for resistors and capacitors, respectively. The common tolerance plot becomes “pathological” in that there are numerous spikes in the output. The reason for this can be found by looking at the transfer function for this circuit. The standard form of the band-pass transfer function is: G (s) =
N1s s2 + D1s + D 0
in which for this circuit, D1 =
1 1 2 R5 R 4 + R5 + − and N i = R1 ⋅ R 4 ⋅ C1 C1 R1 R 3 R 2 ⋅ R 4
The peak gain is given by Gpk =
N1 . Obviously, if D1 is ever zero or close to D1
it, Gpk will “blow up.” 1 2 R5 + = . R1 R 3 R 2 ⋅ R 4 By assigning tolerance multipliers of 0.982 for R2, 0.9816 for R4, and 1.02 for R5 (all at or within the ±2% tolerance), it will be found that D1 = 0.166, N1 = 3267.56, and Gpk = 19,688 or about 85 dBV. Given Nk Monte Carlo samples, it can be seen from the second plot that there are many more random tolerance combinations that will cause Gpk to become extremely high. Hence, the culprit here is the minus sign in D1, for which the analog circuit designer should be wary of in band-pass filter circuits using this topology. Because of the random nature of MCA, the size of the spikes will be different for each run. It was stated in the introduction to Part II that Monte Carlo analysis (MCA) will produce realistic results for virtually any circuit that has a reasonably accurate and stable mathematical model. Because one term (D1) of the transfer function can become negative, this causes unstable roots in the right-half s-plane. Hence, with the common tolerances, this circuit does not qualify. The reader is cautioned that in using the NDS method, this instability would not have been foreseen. Hence, the transfer functions G(s) still serve a useful purpose and should be examined when any erratic circuit analysis behavior is observed. D1 will be zero when

With common tolerances, some of the 2Nc = 256 tolerance combinations will cause Gpk (FMCA Hi) to be large.
11.20 STATE VARIABLE FILTER CIRCUIT This circuit is used to show the affects of increasing the number of Monte Carlo samples Nk. It will be shown that Nk and the tolerance band are of course directly proportional, but nonlinear. For example, doubling Nk does not double the width of the tolerance band. n := 10–9 K := 103 R3

The “spike” at 5 KHz is caused by the asynchronous polarity change of the nonmonotonic components. From the zoomed sensitivity plots below, all zero crossovers do not take place at the same frequency.

Hence, at 5.00 KHz to 5.02 KHz, the polarity of the sensitivities are not changing sign together. This causes the EVA process, which detects sensitivity sign changes, to show a different magnitude in this 20-Hz frequency band.

14.1 COMPONENTS NOMINALLY ZERO Section 14.1 is background information for tolerance analysis of opamp offsets given in Section 14.2. mV := 10–3 Let the function be: G(A, B, C) := (A + B)·C Let the nominal component values be: A := 0
B := 0
C := 20
Vo := G(A, B, C)
Vo = 0
Then
Let the tolerances of the components be: Va := 0.02
Vb := 0.01
Tc := 0.03
The tolerances of A and B are in component units, e.g., Volts; the tolerance of C is in %. The tolerances of A and B cannot be in percentages, because X% of zero is zero. The derivatives of Vo wrt the components are: da := C
db := C
dc := A + B
Formal definition of RSS, the variance: Var := (da·A·Va)2 + (db·B·Vb)2 + (dc·C·Tc)2
Var = 0
We cannot use this form because A = B = 0. 3σA is Va, not the product of A and Va. Hence, Var := (da·Va)2 + (db·Vb)2 + (dc·C·Tc)2 Vs := Var
Var = 0.200
Vs = 0.447

The value Vsm = 0.449 is very close to the value of Vrss = 0.447. Hence, this is another example of how MCA with normal distribution inputs very closely approximates RSS. By repeating the MCA ten times, for example, Vs will show an average closer to Vrss = 0.447. EVA m :=1..2

TRUNCATED GAUSSIAN DISTRIBUTION
In this distribution, Gaussian probability densities less than –3σ and greater than 3σ are rejected. It does not use transcendental functions as does the Box–Muller form (see Reference 1) and is hence faster. This could be useful in manufacturing yield analyses to simulate using all in-spec components.

Nk = 4000 This plot illustrates an important principle of statistical tolerance analyses. The question may well be asked as to why one stage with 5 components or variables has a wider frequency tolerance band than three stages with 13 variables. Also, note that the amplitude of the three stages shows a higher variance than the single stage, but the average is lower. The center frequency in Hz is given by fo =
D0 wc 2 ⋅ R 2 , in which D01 = for 2⋅π R4
wc 2 ⋅ R 6 wc 2 ⋅ R10 for the second, and D0 3 = for the third stage. R8 R12 Due to the separate tolerances on R2 through R12, each of these fo’s will be different for one frequency sweep, and different again for subsequent Nk frequency sweeps because of new random tolerances assigned by the Monte Carlo process. When ω2 = D01, the first term in the transfer function denominator radical
the first stage, D0 2 =
R3 , but D02 and D03 in the R1 second and third stages will not equal ω2, and the denominators here will be larger, pulling down the average peak gain of the three combined stages. The nominal peak gain is: becomes zero, and the peak gain is given by Gpk =
G 3pk :=
R 3 R 7 R11 ⋅ ⋅ R1 R 5 R 9
G3pk = 1
A numerical example will help illustrate.

Assume the following random values for wc, R2, R4, ... , R12: R2 := R2·(1.015) R4 := R4·(0.998) R6 := R6·(1.006) R8 := R8·(0.991) R10 := R10·(0.993) R12 := R12·(0.982) wc := wc·(1.071) Then:

Tfa = 1 Tfb = 0.995 Tfc = 0.953 Tf := Tfa·Tfb·Tfc Tf = 0.948 Tfa = 1, but the product of all three is less. As to the wider center frequencies for the single stage, the chances of wc, R2, and R4 having random values approaching the minimum and maximum center frequencies are much greater than the likelihood of wc, R2, R4, R6, R8, R10, and R12 all having one set of random values for an extreme center frequency. The larger variance, not the mean, of the three-stage gain is again due to the larger number of components involved. Showing that the overall Q for the three stages is 100:

Appendix II SUMMARY OF TOLERANCE ANALYSIS METHODS DC It has been demonstrated that the conventional sensitivity-sign-based method of extreme value analysis (EVA) does not always yield the “extreme values.” Hence, the fast Monte Carlo analysis (FMCA) method must be used to guarantee accurate and reliable output tolerance spreads. However, this method may not be practical for large DC circuits because the number of required iterations is 2Nc, where Nc is the number of components. For small-to-medium-sized circuits, however, it is the preferred method. Normal distribution input MCA can be used to closely approximate RSS tolerance bands (Nk > 5000 as a guideline) but not for EVA or FMCA, as has been empirically demonstrated.
AC With AC circuits that have nonmonotonic components, RSS, EVA, and FMCA methods become unreliable and should not be used. Hence, prudence dictates that these methods should not be used for any AC circuit. That leaves MCA as the method of choice. A large number of samples of Nk must be used to obtain tolerance bands greater than those in RSS but less than those in EVA, using uniform distribution inputs. As in DC circuits, the normal (Gaussian) distribution will approximate the RSS 3 σ values for monotonic circuits. A rule of thumb is to use no less than Nk = 1000 samples for large circuits and Nk greater than 10,000 for small circuits.
TRANSIENT Several examples of transient Monte Carlo analysis have been given. The author has discovered that EVA, RSS, or FMCA methods, when applied to transient analysis, yield erroneous results. This is due to the bipolar sensitivities encountered with oscillatory waveforms, which many RC and RCL circuits exhibit. Hence, MCA is once again the recommended method. The execution time is a direct function of kmax (the total number of time increments), Nk (number of Monte Carlo samples), and N (the total number of capacitors and inductors in the circuit). The number N determines the dimensions of the A matrix to be {N N}, which, of course, has a direct effect on execution time.
