A review of chaotic circuits, simulation and implementation

Understanding how to design circuits that display a chaotic behavior is of great importance both to students and to practicing engineers. The benefit is to learn not only how to avoid chaos, which can be a nuisance in a circuit, but also to develop applications that actually exploit this phenomenon. In this paper, we present two autonomous and two nonautonomous circuits that behave chaotically. Electronics Workbench is used to simulate circuits and show the presence of chaos. Complete circuits implementation and oscilloscope plots are all given.
