Abstract :
The letter presents a generalised approach for obtaining the state-space representation of nonlinear dynamic circuits using modified nodal analysis (MNA). No graph-theoretical method is required. The proposed approach allows a considerable reduction of circuit MNA equations. The method is useful when one considers development and/or improvement of general-purpose circuit simulator such as SPICE.
