6 1. A Short Introduction
1.1 Welcome to Analog Insydes
Welcome to Analog Insydes, a Mathematica toolbox for symbolic modeling, analysis, and design of
analog electronic circuits. With Analog Insydes you can model and analyze linear and nonlinear
circuits, manipulate analysis results mathematically, produce graphical visualizations of circuit
characteristics, exchange data with commercial circuit simulators, and document your solutions
all in one integrated environment.
You will always get the latest information concerning Analog Insydes at our home page
http://www.analog−insydes.de
There you will also find a collection of demo notebooks, which show the application of Analog
Insydes on different tasks from the field of electrical engineering.

1.1.1 How to Read this Book
This book is divided into four parts: an introduction (Part 1), a tutorial (Part 2), a reference manual
(Part 3), and an appendix (Part 4).
The introduction part gives an overview of Analog Insydes’ functionality, highlights the new features
of version 2, and shows the application of Analog Insydes on an practical example. We recommend
to read this part, especially Section 1.2.1 and Section 1.2.3, before working with Analog Insydes.
The tutorial part explains dedicated topics of Analog Insydes in detail. Although entitled Tutorial, it
is not meant to be read completely before working with Analog Insydes. Rather, each chapter can
be read separately as soon as you need a closer look at special topics.
The reference part explains each Analog Insydes command, shows its argument list, describes the
available options, and shows the application on small examples. If you need information on a certain
command, the reference manual is the preferred source.
The appendix part explains all stimuli sources defined in Analog Insydes, shows all available netlist
elements, and finally describes the content of the predefined symbolic device model library.
