Parallel Resonant Circuit

A parallel resonant RLC circuit is shown in Figure 1. The input admittance of a parallel R-L-C circuit is given by, (1)   By definition, at resonant frequnecy inductive and capacitive susceptances are equal in magnitude and opposite in phase. Therefore they cancel each other. (2)   Quality factor(Q) of […]

Cadence lock files 2 comments

If cadence is not properly exited or crashed, it results in edit locks on cadence files that were open at the time of exiting. These lock files have extension ‘.cdslck’. After restarting cadence, we have to remove edit locks to continue editing on those files. We have two options to […]
