Initial conditions

Transient Response Analysis

The response of memory circuit also depends upon the initial conditions. That is, the response is related to what has happened in the past. In other words, the circuit can have non-zero response even if there is no input signal.

INITIAL CONDITIONS

Initial conditions of a network are the values of currents and voltage just before switching. The instant just before switching is denoted by t = 0-. The instant exactly at switching is denoted by t = 0 and the instant just after switching is denoted by t = 0 +. 0 - and 0 + represent infinitesimally small times and limit their difference as it approaches zero i.e., as limit, the time that elapses between 0- and 0+ is zero.

The response of memory circuit also depends upon the initial conditions. That is, the response is related to what has happened in the past. In other words, the circuit can have non-zero response even if there is no input signal.
