Use of Piecewise Moels for Nonlinear evices when Analyzing Electronic Circuits Process: Observations: 1. Guess state of the evice 2. Analyze circuit 3. erify State 4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 if verification fails 5. erify moel (if necessary) o Analysis generally simplifie ramatically (particularly if piecewise moel is linear) o Approach applicable to wie variety of nonlinear evices o Close-form solutions give insight into performance of circuit o Usually much faster than solving the nonlinear circuit irectly o Wrong guesses in the state of the evice o not compromise solution (verification will fail) o Helps to guess right the first time o Moel is often not necessary with most nonlinear evices
