| dc.description.abstract | In recent years, much attention has been
directed towards the analysis and design of
switched-capacitor networks due to the availability
of high quality switches, capacitors and operational
amplifiers in MOS technology. Since these networks
have got zero time-constant, conventional
techniques cannot be directly used in their
analysis. New techniques have thus been developed
for the analysis of these networks. The digital
computer has, on the other hand, become an
important aid in the analysis of the networks.In this work, the basics of nodal linear
network analysis are discussed. The modified
nodal analysis approach is then presented with
particular emphasis on it's ability to accommodate
network elements that cannot be directly
accommodated in the basic nodal analysis approach.
This approach is then developed for the analysis
of switched-capacitor networks in time-domain
based on the nodal charge concept. The frequency
response of these networks is developed from the
time-domain response by the use of the discrete
Fourier transform. A method that realizes more accurate frequency-domain results is then
developed utilizing two opposite polarity unit
excitations.
Through-out the work, fortran programs
are developed and simple networks analysed on the
ICL 2950 computer at the Institute of Computer
Science over remote terminals. | en |
