I still remember my class of differential equations. One of the topics discussed is damped oscillator circuits and transient signal responses, which occur in many different physical systems. The transient response of power lines in interconnects and PCBs is the cause of bit errors, timing jitters and other signal integrity problems. You can determine the design steps to take in designing a perfect circuit using transient signal analysis.
The transient signal analysis in simple circuits can be checked and calculated manually, so that the transient response curve with time can be drawn. More complex circuits may be difficult to analyze manually. Instead, you can use the simulator for time domain transient signal analysis during simulator design. With the right design software, you don‘t even need coding skills.
Formally, transients may occur in circuits, which can be written as a set of coupled first-order linear or nonlinear differential equations (autonomous or nonautonomous). The transient response can be determined in a number of ways.
The transient response without feedback in a time invariant circuit is one of the following three cases:
Excessive damping: response with slow attenuation, no oscillation
Critical damping: fast attenuation response, no oscillation
Insufficient damping: damped oscillation response
In circuit simulation, you can run transient signal analysis simulation directly from schematic diagram. Two aspects of circuit behavior need to be considered:
Drive signal. This defines the change in the input voltage / current level that causes the transient response. This may involve a change between two signal levels (i.e., a switching digital signal), a drop or spike in the current input signal level, or any other change in the drive signal. You can consider using sine signal or any periodic waveform for driving. You can also consider the limited rise time of the signal when switching between two levels.
Initial conditions. This defines the circuit state when the drive signal fluctuates or the drive waveform is turned on. It is assumed that at time t=0, the circuit is initially in a stable state (that is, there is no previous transient response in the circuit). If no initial conditions are specified, the voltage and current are assumed to be zero at t=0.
