  3. 1 I1 Id Ir 0 DC Analysis of Nonlinear Circuits - Example Need to Solve

  4. Nonlinear Equations • Given g(V)=I • It can be expressed as: f(V)=g(V)-I  Solve g(V)=I equivalent to solve f(V)=0 Hard to find analytical solution for f(x)=0 Solve iteratively

  5. Nonlinear Equations – Iterative Methods • Start from an initial value x0 • Generate a sequence of iterate xn-1, xn, xn+1 which hopefully converges to the solution x* • Iterates are generated according to an iteration function F: xn+1=F(xn) • Ask • When does it converge to correct solution ? • What is the convergence rate ?

  6. Newton-Raphson (NR) Method Consists of linearizing the system. Want to solve f(x)=0  Replace f(x) with its linearized version and solve. Note: at each step need to evaluate f and f’

  7. Newton-Raphson Method – Graphical View

  8. Newton-Raphson Method– Algorithm Define iteration Dok = 0 to ….? • How about convergence? • An iteration {x(k)} is said to converge with order q if there exists a vector norm such that for each k  N: until convergence

  9. Mean Value theorem truncates Taylor series Newton-Raphson Method– Convergence But by Newton definition

  10. Newton-Raphson Method– Convergence Subtracting Dividing Convergence is quadratic

  11. Newton-Raphson Method– Convergence Local Convergence Theorem If Then Newton’s method converges given a sufficiently close initial guess (and convergence is quadratic)

  12. Newton-Raphson Method– Convergence Example 1 Convergence is quadratic

  13. Newton-Raphson Method– Convergence Example 2 Note : not bounded away from zero Convergence is linear

  14. Newton-Raphson Method– Convergence Example 1, 2

  22. Multidimensional Newton Method

  23. Multidimensional Newton Method – Computational Aspects Each iteration requires: • Evaluation of F(xk) • Computation of J(xk) • Solution of a linear system of algebraic equations whose coefficient matrix is J(xk) and whose RHS is -F(xk)

  24. Multidimensional Newton Method – Algorithm

  25. Multidimensional Newton Method – Convergence Local Convergence Theorem If Then Newton’s method converges given a sufficiently close initial guess (and convergence is quadratic)

  26. Application of NR to Circuit EquationsCompanion Network • Applying NR to the system of equations we find that at iteration k+1: • all the coefficients of KCL, KVL and of BCE of the linear elements remain unchanged with respect to iteration k • Nonlinear elements are represented by a linearization of BCE around iteration k  This system of equations can be interpreted as the STA of a linear circuit (companion network) whose elements are specified by the linearized BCE.

  27. Application of NR to Circuit EquationsCompanion Network • General procedure: the NR method applied to a nonlinear circuit (whose eqns are formulated in the STA form) produces at each iteration the STA eqns of a linear resistive circuit obtained by linearizing the BCE of the nonlinear elements and leaving all the other BCE unmodified • After the linear circuit is produced, there is no need to stick to STA, but other methods (such as MNA) may be used to assemble the circuit eqns

  28. Application of NR to Circuit EquationsCompanion Network – MNA templates Note: G0 and Id depend on the iteration count k  G0=G0(k) and Id=Id(k)

  29. Application of NR to Circuit EquationsCompanion Network – MNA templates

  32. DC Analysis Flow Diagram For each state variable in the system

  33. Implications • Device model equations must be continuous with continuous derivatives and derivative calculation must be accurate derivative of function • (not all models do this - Poor diode models and breakdown models don’t - be sure models are decent - beware of user-supplied models) • Watch out for floating nodes (If a node becomes disconnected, then J(x) is singular) • Give good initial guess for x(0) • Most model computations produce errors in function values and derivatives. • Want to have convergence criteria || x(k+1) - x(k) || <  such that  > than model errors.
