Real-World Circuit Analysis Examples

Power Supply Design Optimization

A team at a consumer electronics company was designing a switching power supply for their latest product. Traditional analysis would involve separate calculations for efficiency, ripple, thermal management, and component stress - each in its own spreadsheet, with manual data transfer between them.

With Sourcetable, they created a unified analysis model that automatically:

    The result? Design iterations that took days now completed in hours, with 30% better efficiency and 50% reduction in component count.

    Motor Control System Analysis

    An industrial automation engineer needed to analyze a three-phase induction motor drive system. The challenge: coordinating electrical, mechanical, and thermal analysis across multiple operating conditions.

    Their Sourcetable model integrated:

      The AI assistant even suggested control algorithm improvements based on the system's natural resonant frequencies, leading to 15% smoother operation.

      RF Circuit Design Validation

      A telecommunications engineer was validating an RF amplifier design for a base station application. The circuit had to meet strict linearity, efficiency, and spurious emission requirements across multiple frequency bands.

      Using Sourcetable's statistical analysis capabilities, they:

        The automated sensitivity analysis revealed that a simple bias adjustment could improve efficiency by 8% without compromising linearity - an insight that would have taken weeks to discover manually.
