CONVERSION BETWEEN T-π OF NETWORKS USING PSPICE CIRCUIT SIMULATION
Abstract: Any passive network can be represented by their equivalent in either T-π (star-delta)model. From the conversion methods of T-π (star-delta) for resistive circuits, the behavioural modeling of Pspice simulation program, in which various mathematical equations could be represented by non-linear voltage/current dependent sources, is used to obtain equivalent circuits using DC option. The resistors are represented by their linear voltage/current relation. The zero voltage sources are used to measure currents …

Triangular Waveform Generation using Mixed Signal Modeling
Abstract: The development of modeling languages such as Verilog-HDL and Verilog-AMS allows the behavior of analogue and mixed signal circuits to be described with a more lucid way as compared to the conventional circuit-level simulators. Mixed-signal simulators are thus providing a new platform for more efficient modeling of mixed signal that contains both the analogue and discrete features which was not previously possible. The non-linear characteristics of many circuits are still …
