ECE201 Lect-7 Circuits with Resistor Combinations (2.6, 8.7) Dr. Holbert February 8, 2006 Solving Circuits with Series and Parallel Combinations The combination of series and parallel impedances can be used to find voltages and currents in circuits. This process can often yield the fastest solutions to networks. This process may not apply to complicated networks. Series and Parallel Impedances Impedances are combined to create a simple circuit (usually one source and one impedance), from which a voltage or current can be found Once the voltage or current is found, KCL and KVL are used to work back through the network to find voltages and currents. Example: Resistor Ladder Find V1, V2, and V3 Example: Resistor Ladder Find an equivalent resistance for the network with V1 across it, then find V1 using a voltage divider. Example: Resistor Ladder Example: Resistor Ladder Find an equivalent resistance for the network with V2 across it, then find V2. Example: Resistor Ladder Example: Resistor Ladder Example: Notch Filter Find Vout Use w = 1500 Example: Notch Filter Find the equivalent impedance of the resistor, inductor, and capacitor. Example: Notch Filter Combine top resistor and impedance. Example: Notch Filter Example #2: Notch Filter Find Vout Use w = 377 Example: Notch Filter Vout= 1.23V ? 0.17? Frequency Response Using MATLAB to Solve Circuits MATLAB can perform computations with complex numbers. You can use it as a calculator to compute phasors and impedances for AC steady-state analysis. You can also use it to automate computations of frequency responses. Using MATLAB Entering a complex number: 1+2j ans = 1.0000 + 2.0000i Multiplying complex numbers: (1+2j)*(3+4j) ans = -5.0000 +10.0000i Example: Notch Filter Find Vout Use w = 1500 Compute Impedances omega = 377 omega = 377 xl = j*omega*70.4e-3 xl = 0 +26.5408i xc = 1/(j*omega*100e-6) xc = 0 -26.5252i Equivalent Capacitor/Inductor Impedance zeq = (0.1+xl)*xc /(0.1+xl+xc) zeq = 6
