Four Examples of Chaotic Circuits

In this chapter, four examples of chaotic circuits are given to show the variety of principles underlying chaos generation in electronic circuits. This chapter presents just a sample of the possibilities arising. The analysis of the circuits presented leads to the conclusion that many different mechanisms, not straightforwardly generalizable, can be used for the design of chaotic circuits. The next chapter introduces a procedure, which instead starts from a mathematical model showing chaos and then transfers the mathematical rules of the model into circuit laws of a physical device.
