Transient Analysis of Electronic Circuits Including Zener Diodes
Abstract: This paper addresses the transient analysis of the electronic circuits incorporating Zener diodes. It starts with suggesting a new Zener diode model. The model is based on efficiently utilized step functions of the applied voltage. It includes also the diode’s main technical parameters such as its resistances in both the forward and reverse current directions as well as its Zener’s breakdown voltage. The sharp discontinuities of the step-functions are dealt …

Novel Technique for the Analysis of Electronic Circuits Including Zener Diodes
Abstract: This paper addresses the analysis of electronic circuits including Zener diodes. It starts with a modified Zener diode model, which is based on expressions involving step-functions, its parameters such as the resistances in both current directions as well as its breakdown (or Zener) voltage. In contrast to the earlier approaches expressing the sharp discontinuities characterizing the step-functions in terms of inverse hyperbolic tangent terms, this paper adopts more concise and …

Design of Decoder Using Domino Logic Circuit for VLSI
Abstract: Dissipation of power from a circuit is the major issue in the design of any VLSI circuit, which decreases the life span of a device/system. NMOS and PMOS circuits are very slow while switching the state from low to high. The speed of the circuit can be increased by decreasing resistance. This process in turn increases the static power dissipation. So, because of these disadvantages, CMOS circuits are used in …
