ABSTRACT:
A method, mechanism, and system for determining an effective resistance for a network of resistors, irrespective of the number of terminals is provided. An aspect of an approach relates to the reduction of any network of resistors to a single resistance value. Another aspect of an approach relates to the application of a power loss calculation to determine the effective resistance. Yet another aspect of an approach relates to the integration of the method/mechanism with an analog simulator.
