    RLC Cheat Sheet

    Uploaded by

    Kirz Serrano
    This document provides information on RLC circuits, solving circuits, MOSFETs, and small-circuit analysis. It discusses that the time constant for an RLC circuit is determined by the resistance and either the capacitance or inductance. It also describes how to solve circuits by setting up equations, using properties like voltage dividers and series combinations. The document outlines approaches for analyzing MOSFETs and their current-voltage characteristics. It concludes with pointers on analyzing small circuits by treating sources as shorts or opens and nonlinear elements as small-signal models.

    RLC circuits

    = RC, or = L/R, or = 1/ LC, is the time it takes to decay to 1/e times

    original. This is only valid for undamped circuits; damped circuits oscillate
    at 1/LC (R/2L)2 .

    The general
    p form of the equation is i + 2i + 0 i = 0; the solutions then are

    s = 0 ; with i = Ae + Be . The Q-factor, Q = 0 /2, is such
    that
    At low frequencies or long timescales, an inductor is like a short and a capacitor
    is open. At high frequencies and short timescales, the other way around.
    When computing timescales, voltage sources act like shorts.
    Bandwidth is twice the distance between the resonant frequency and when its
    half at resonance; bandwidth is equal to 2; also, /0 = 1/Q. In an RC
    circuit, voltage lags current. In an RL circuit, voltage leads current. In an RLC
    circuit, something. This can be seen by noting that V = IZ, and so I/V = 1/Z.
    So if ImZ is positive (inductive), current lags. If ImZ is negative (capacitive),
    current leads.

    Solving circuits

    DONT PANIC
    Set up equations and solve them.
    Remember the properties of voltage dividers.
    Remember that elements in series can be combined.
    Assume that if you get a really messy equation, youre doing something wrong.
    Thevenin equivalent: VT H is the voltage you get with no input. To find RT H ,
    short voltage sources and open current sources, apply a test voltage VT and
    compute RT H = VT /IT .
    Remember that current sources constrain the current to be equal to them, and
    so do voltage sources. But the voltage across a current source and the current
    across a voltage source can be arbitrary.
    Remember that all state variables are finite.
    Try to make shit look like voltage dividers or whatever. Remember that open
    ports dont matter!
    MESSY EQUATIONS MEAN YOURE DOING SOMETHING WRONG.
    Remember that parallel branches are independent.
    When dealing with non-linear elements, find the Thevenin equivalent of the rest
    of the circuit, or solve around it.
    To calculate power, remember that P = IV = V 2 /R = I 2 R.

    2.1

    Dividers

    A voltage going across resistors in series divides in proportion to the amount of


    resistance it has yet to pass through. A current going through Rx divides into

    Ix = IRT /(RX + RT ) where RT is the resistance of everything else.

    MOSFETs

    The fundamental law of a MOSFET is that IDS = K/2(VGS VT )2 when


    VGS > Vth and VDS > VGS Vth . When VD S < VGS Vth , IDS = K((VGS
    2
    /2).
    VT )VDS VDS
    Current into gate is zero.
    For a FET-like thing, where iDS = f (vGS , vDS ), the general model is a voltage
    source of gain gm = fvGS (vGS , vDS ) in parallel with a resistor of conductance
    fvDS (vGS , vDS ), so id = gm vgs + vds /r.

    Small-circuit analysis
    Voltage sources become shorts.
    Circuit sources become open.
    Resistors stay the same.
    A MOSFET becomes a current source ids = K(VGS VT )vgs .
    More generally, a large-signal thing iA = f (vA ) becomes ia = f 0 (VA )va .
