Use the Linear Circuit Wizard block to create or modify a linear, time-invariant circuit such as a custom-design filter or a circuit with extracted parasitics. Using this block, you can parse a SPICE netlist file that describes the circuit elements and the circuit nodes. You can then use the block parameter dialog box to refine the input and output ports and to model device noise. You can review the port and device noise definitions from a base workspace output structure.
The Linear Circuit Wizard block sets up and solves linear circuit equations to produce a set of Laplace domain transfer functions. You can review these transfer functions either through magnitude vs. frequency plots or through pole-zero location reports.
The Linear Circuit Wizard block creates and configures a MATLAB System block to represent your circuit as a new block, which is independent of the Linear Circuit Wizard block, in a Simulink model. This MATLAB System block is configured using the port and device noise definitions and the results of the circuit analysis. When you start the simulation, the MATLAB System block uses fixed-step discrete sample time to convert the Laplace domain transfer functions into recursive digital filter coefficients for execution during the simulation.
Control duty cycle, defined on a scale from 0 to 1. You can specify a scalar to be applied to all analyses, or you can specify the minimum and maximum of a range of control duty cycles as a 2-element vector thus producing a plot of output value as a function of control duty cycle.
Control signal frequency. You can specify a scalar to be applied to all analyses, or you can specify the minimum and maximum of a range of frequencies as a 2-element vector thus producing a plot of output value as a function of control signal frequency.
The Linear Circuit Wizard block solves a linear, time-invariant circuit described by a SPICE netlist. The block supports a limited set of SPICE circuit elements and netlist statement syntaxes. For more information about supported circuit elements and netlist statement syntaxes, see Model Linear Circuit Response from SPICE Netlist.
The ports in the Linear Circuit Wizard block are initially parsed from the SPICE netlist. Once the ports are defined, you can add, delete, or modify the order of the ports from the Linear Circuit Wizard block parameter dialog.. The supported ports can either be input or output, and either be voltage or current.
The most common interface definition for an analog circuit is a set of voltages and currents defined at circuit nodes. To create the interface to digital logic and behavioral models from the interface to analog circuits requires some conversion. The Linear Circuit Wizard block constructs the conversion between ports and analog circuit nodes based on the ports definitions that you supply. This enables the Linear Circuit Wizard block to produce a block in your Simulink model that can be connected directly to other types of blocks. For more information, see Ports Supported in Linear Circuit Wizard.
The Linear Circuit Wizard block can model the noise generated by the transistors and resistors in the analog circuit. The spectral density of the device noise can include accurate modeling of flicker noise. The circuit model includes the transfer function from the device noise source to the circuit ports. For more information, see Define Device Noise Using Linear Circuit Wizard.
The Linear Circuit Wizard block outputs a linear circuit block that can be added to the Simulink model. This block is a MATLAB System block with all the input and output ports defined in the Linear Circuit Wizard block parameter dialog box. The generated block requires a fixed-step discrete sample time, which the block either inherits from the surrounding model or defines for itself. For more information, see MATLAB Systems Generated from Linear Circuit Wizard.
The Linear Circuit Wizard block can generate multiple MATLAB System blocks that represent different linear circuit blocks. Once generated, the MATLAB System blocks are independent of their respective Linear Circuit Wizard blocks.
Independent of the generation of MATLAB System blocks, the Linear Circuit Wizard block can also generate a report for ports of the generated block, a report for poles and zeroes of the entire linear circuit, and plot the transfer functions between the input and output ports. For more information, see Verify MATLAB System Block Configuration.
New Wave Concepts Limited developed Circuit Wizard with the purpose of making electronic engineers job less demanding and helping them to be more effective. Therefore, they equipped this software tool with numerous features to assist them in creating diagrams, running simulations and combining PCB designs.
The application interface is decent, with simple menus and toolbars, but with nicely crafted buttons. Also, from the Preferences menu, users can highlight specific page sections and set up other basic customizations.
The built-in database is equipped with components like servo motors, stepper motors, infra-red, ultrasonic sensors, LCDs, or keypads.
Moreover, the program offers comprehensive support for GENIE microcontroller programming.
Users are able to design circuit diagrams, that the software allows you to test in order to check if they function properly. In case of a successful result, they can convert the diagram to a PCB layout and run a simulation for it as well.
To summarize, Circuit Wizard is a software utility that offers multiple functions to help engineers realize their projects. The only cons are represented by the high price and the sluggish menu navigation.
I am using Circuit Wizard Pro for my circuit designs. Unfortunately it does not support the Arduino series in its library for circuit and PCB creation. Therefore I'd have to manually create the arduino as a new component.
Hi Jeff, I have been watching your seminars for a while now and can't thank you enough for the excellent content you put out for all of us. Thank you so much! You're probably the most knowledgeable I've come across on the internet. I'm hoping you could help me determine what size circuit breakers to use on the ACR install I'm doing. My previous install was a 65A "add a battery" from Blue Sea, it provided a table with this information. Now I am installing two of their much larger ACR's on a larger system. I have one house battery, and two 105A alternators. The instructions for these ACR's does not include a table specifying what size fuses/breakers to use. It recommends to use their "circuit wizard" to determine size, but I'm unsure if I should be inputting the alternator rating as the load.
