Philosophical Declaration and Concomitant Commentary
In general, the circuits herein are ideal (no parasitics, etc.). Some readers may be uncomfortable with the concept of ideal circuits. Nevertheless, determining solution sets for ideal circuit configurations should precede attempts to analyze their parasitic-laden counterparts. Gaining an intuitive understanding of ideal circuit operation ought to be a high priority. Then, when parasitics are introduced, the practitioner will be better prepared to understand what is observed, and better prepared to synthesize complex circuitry in pursuit of desired results.
What we urge here is this: Become acquainted with ideal circuit behavior first. Then consider the effect of parasitics that will reside in an actual circuit. Then use a simulator.
