ahkab.dc_guess

This module provides the get_dc_guess() method, used to compute a starting point to initialize a Newton-Rhapson solver.

Module reference

get_dc_guess(circ, verbose=3)

Build a DC guess from circuit inspection.

Notice that OP analysis will call this method on the users’ behalf if not instructed not to do so.

A element can suggest its guess through the elem.dc_guess field. If the field is not set, or not available, no information on the most likely biasing voltage is assumed.

Parameters:

circ : Circuit instance

The circuit instance the guess is being computed for.

verbose : int, optional

The verbosity level (from 0 silent to 6 debug). Defaults to 3, medium verbosity.

Returns:

dcg : ndarray or None

The DC guess, in numpy array form, or None, if it was not possible to compute a meaningful guess.
