Circuit Analysis For Dummies

By John Santiago

Laplace transform methods can be employed to study circuits in the s-domain. Laplace techniques
convert circuits with voltage and current signals that change with time to the s-domain so you can
analyze the circuit’s action using only algebraic techniques.

Transforming the connection constraints to the s-domain is a piece of cake. Kirchho ’s current law
(KCL) says the sum of the incoming and outgoing currents is equal to 0. Here’s a typical KCL equation
described in the time-domain:

i1(t) + i2(t) – i3(t) = 0

Because of the linearity property of the Laplace transform, the KCL equation in the s-domain becomes
the following:

I1(s) + I2(s) – I3(s) = 0

You transform Kirchho ’s voltage law (KVL) in the same way. KVL says the sum of the voltage rises and
drops is equal to 0. Here’s a classic KVL equation described in the time-domain:

v1(t) + v(t) + v3(t) = 0

Because of linearity, the KVL equation in the s-domain produces

V1(s) + V2(s) + V3(s) = 0

The basic form of KVL remains the same. Piece of cake!

Transforming independent sources is a no-brainer because the s-domain has the same form as the
time-domain:

Converting dependent sources is easy, too. Here are the equations for voltage-controlled voltage
sources (VCVS), voltage-controlled current sources (VCCS), current-controlled voltage sources (CCVS),
and current-controlled current sources (CCCS):

The constants μ, g, r, and β relate the dependent output sources V2(s) and I2(s) controlled by input
variables V1(s) and I1(s).

For resistors, capacitors, and inductors, you convert their i-v relationships to the s-domain using
Laplace transform properties, such as the integration and derivative properties:

The preceding three equations on the right are s-domain models that use voltage sources for the initial
capacitor voltage vC(0) and initial inductor current iL(0).

You see there are no integrals or derivatives in the s-domain.

The middle column here shows the constraints of the passive devices in the time-domain being
converted to the s-domain. The left column shows initial conditions modeled as voltage sources in the
s-domain, and the right column shows initial conditions modeled as current sources in the s-domain.

Taking the initial conditions into account in the s-domain analysis for capacitors and inductors is a big
deal because it expedites the analysis. When you transform di erential equations into the s-domain,
you deal with input sources and initial conditions simultaneously.

Admittance Y is the reciprocal of the impedance; it’s useful when you’re analyzing parallel circuits:

In the s-domain for zero initial conditions, the element constraints, impedances Z(s), and admittances
Y(s) for the passive devices are as follows:

Now you’re ready to start analyzing circuits in the s-domain — without having to rely on calculus.

Circuit Analysis For Dummies

By John Santiago

There are many applications for an RLC circuit, including band-pass lters, band-reject lters, and
low-/high-pass lters. You can use series and parallel RLC circuits to create band-pass and band-reject
lters. An RLC circuit has a resistor, inductor, and capacitor connected in series or in parallel.

You can get a transfer function for a band-pass lter with a parallel RLC circuit, like the one shown
here.

A little algebraic manipulation gives you a current transfer function, T(s) = IR(s)/IS(s), for the band-pass
lter:

Plug in s = jω to get the frequency response T(jω):

This equation has the same form as the RLC series equations. For the rest of this problem, you follow
the same process as for the RLC series circuit.

The transfer function is at a maximum when the denominator is minimized, which occurs when the
real part of the denominator is set to 0. The cuto frequencies are found when their gains |T(jωC)| =
0.707|T(jω)| or the –3 dB point. Therefore, ω0 is

The center frequency, the cuto frequencies, and the bandwidth have equations identical to the ones
for the RLC series band-pass lter.

Your cuto frequencies are ωC1 and ωC2:
