Abstract :
Tolerances of electronic circuit parameters play an important role in our judgement of circuit functionality. They must be considered both at the circuit design and testing stages. A problem of tolerances in a symbolic network analysis is discussed. Topological analysis combined with operations on discrete random variables allows the behavior of a circuit with toleranced parameters to be predicted. Automatic simplification of symbolic network functions is used to facilitate operations on discrete variables representing network parameters. Illustrative examples are given
