Electronic Circuit Elements & Oscillators

← Back to Domain-Specific Families

Abstractions about electronic circuit elements and their dynamic behavior, including idealized and switching elements such as the nullator and astable multivibrator, transformer and induction modeling like the inductive circuit model of transformer and the Shockley-Ramo theorem, and nonlinear oscillation such as the Van der Pol oscillator.

5 abstractions in this family — domain-specific abstractions that sit near one another in structural-signature space (k-means over structural-signature embeddings). Each is shown with its short description.

• Astable — Astable multivibrator, in which the circuit is not stable in either state —it continually switches from one state to the other.
• Inductive circuit model of transformer — 1, these leakage inductances are defined in terms of transformer winding open-circuit inductances and associated coupling coefficient or coupling factor k .
• Nullator — In electronics, a nullator is a theoretical linear, time-invariant one-port defined as having zero current and voltage across its terminals.
• Shockley–Ramo theorem — The Shockley–Ramo theorem is a method for calculating the electric current induced by a charge moving in the vicinity of an electrode.
• Van der Pol oscillator — In the study of dynamical systems, the van der Pol oscillator (named for Dutch physicist Balthasar van der Pol) is a non-conservative, oscillating system with non-linear damping.
