This article describes a simple but efficient analog computer which has been specially developed for the transient analysis of nonsaturated bipolar transistor circuits. Its advantages, when compared to the usual digital computer simulation, are low costs, simple operation, and short simulation time, allowing a fast man-machine dialog. This simulation method has already been successfully used in the design of several high-speed integrated circuits.
