MATSC - THE PROGRAM FOR SC CIRCUIT ANALYSIS IN THE TIME DOMAIN

Vt Novotn
transient simulator of idealised switched capacitor circuits created in Matlab environment uses the Charge Conservation Law circuit elements switches - Ron = 0 , linear Roff = , zero transient time,

capacitors

- linear, without parasitic inductances and resistances;

operational amplifiers

- infinite gain, zero offset; but they

can be replaced by a model containing capacitors, switches voltage amplifiers and

voltage amplifiers - constant gain for all frequencies 2-input summators - constant gains for both inputs and for all
frequencies

current sources voltage sources

-

- zero inner admittance - zero inner impedance

some parasitic properties can be considered -

capacitances limited gain limited bandwidth offset voltage

Other MATSC properties n-phase SC circuit simulation in time domain textual or graphical circuit definition independent switch control many kinds of voltage sources - defined by series of voltage values, sine sources, frequency swept sources, amplitude-, frequency- and phasemodulated signals initial conditions - initial node voltages and switch states parasitic parameters definition possibility to run simulation repeatedly so that simulation time is prolonged solution of the problem of circuit fragmentation due to off-states of switches in some phases possibility to save the circuit and load it next time or to save voltage courses at an arbitrary node in an arbitrary phase or in all phases to process them by other programs calculation and display of voltages spectrums of node
