The six-dimensional OTL circuit function computes the mid-point voltage of an output transformerless (OTL) push-pull circuit. It has been used as a test function in metamodeling (Ben-Ari and Steinberg, 2007) and sensitivity analysis for screening (Moon, 2010) exercises.
Description
The mid-point voltage (V_m) of an OTL push-pull circuit is computed using the following analytical expression:
where:
and \mathbf{x} = \{R_{b1}, R_{b2}, R_{f}, R_{c1}, R_{c2}, \beta\} is the vector of input variables described in the table below.
Inputs
For computer experiment purposes, the input variables are modeled as six independent uniform random variables.
| No | Variable | Distribution | Parameters | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | R_{b1} | Uniform |
R_{b1,\min} = 50, R_{b1,\max} = 150 |
Resistance b1 [\text{k}\Omega] |
| 2 | R_{b2} | Uniform |
R_{b2,\min} = 25, R_{b2,\max} = 70 |
Resistance b2 [\text{k}\Omega] |
| 3 | R_{f} | Uniform |
R_{f,\min} = 0.5, R_{f,\max} = 3 |
Resistance f [\text{k}\Omega] |
| 4 | R_{c1} | Uniform |
R_{c1,\min} = 1.2, R_{c1,\max} = 2.5 |
Resistance c1 [\text{k}\Omega] |
| 5 | R_{c2} | Uniform |
R_{c2,\min} = 0.25, R_{c2,\max} = 1.2 |
Resistance c2 [\text{k}\Omega] |
| 6 | \beta | Uniform |
\beta_{\min} = 50, \beta_{\max} = 300 |
Current gain [\text{A}] |
