Analog Circuits¶
Discharging capacitor¶
Shows how to connect to a switch with anchors.
with schemdraw.Drawing() as d:
V1 = elm.SourceV().label('5V')
elm.Line().right(d.unit*.75)
S1 = elm.SwitchSpdt2(action='close').up().anchor('b').label('$t=0$', loc='rgt')
elm.Line().right(d.unit*.75).at(S1.c)
elm.Resistor().down().label(r'$100\Omega$').label(['+','$v_o$','-'], loc='bot')
elm.Line().to(V1.start)
elm.Capacitor().at(S1.a).toy(V1.start).label(r'1$\mu$F').dot()
Capacitor Network¶
Shows how to use endpoints to specify exact start and end placement.
with schemdraw.Drawing() as d:
d.config(fontsize=12)
C1 = elm.Capacitor().label('8nF').idot().label('a', 'left')
C2 = elm.Capacitor().label('18nF')
C3 = elm.Capacitor().down().label('8nF', loc='bottom')
C4 = elm.Capacitor().left().label('32nF')
C5 = elm.Capacitor().label('40nF', loc='bottom').dot().label('b', 'left')
C6 = elm.Capacitor().endpoints(C1.end, C5.start).label('2.8nF')
C7 = (elm.Capacitor().endpoints(C2.end, C5.start)
.label('5.6nF', loc='center', ofst=(-.3, -.1), halign='right', valign='bottom'))
ECE201-Style Circuit¶
This example demonstrate use of hold() and using the tox() and toy() methods.
with schemdraw.Drawing() as d:
d.config(unit=2) # unit=2 makes elements have shorter than normal leads
with d.hold():
R1 = elm.Resistor().down().label('20Ω')
V1 = elm.SourceV().down().reverse().label('120V')
elm.Line().right(3).dot()
elm.Line().right(3).dot()
elm.SourceV().down().reverse().label('60V')
elm.Resistor().label('5Ω').dot()
elm.Line().right(3).dot()
elm.SourceI().up().label('36A')
elm.Resistor().label('10Ω').dot()
elm.Line().left(3).hold()
elm.Line().right(3).dot()
R6 = elm.Resistor().toy(V1.end).label('6Ω').dot()
elm.Line().left(3).hold()
elm.Resistor().right().at(R6.start).label('1.6Ω').dot(open=True).label('a', 'right')
elm.Line().right().at(R6.end).dot(open=True).label('b', 'right')
Loop Currents¶
Using the schemdraw.elements.lines.LoopCurrent element to add loop currents, and rotating a label to make it fit.
with schemdraw.Drawing() as d:
d.config(unit=5)
V1 = elm.SourceV().label('20V')
R1 = elm.Resistor().right().label('400Ω').dot()
R2 = elm.Resistor().down().label('100Ω', loc='bot', rotate=True).dot().hold()
L1 = elm.Line().right()
I1 = elm.SourceI().down().label('1A', loc='bot')
L2 = elm.Line().tox(V1.start)
elm.LoopCurrent([R1,R2,L2,V1], pad=1.25).label('$I_1$')
elm.LoopCurrent([R1,I1,L2,R2], pad=1.25).label('$I_2$') # Use R1 as top element for both so they get the same height
AC Loop Analysis¶
Another good problem for ECE students…
with schemdraw.Drawing() as d:
I1 = elm.SourceI().label('5∠0° A').dot()
with d.hold():
elm.Capacitor().right().label('-j3Ω').dot()
elm.Inductor().down().label('j2Ω').dot().hold()
elm.Resistor().right().label('5Ω').dot()
V1 = elm.SourceV().down().reverse().label('5∠-90° V', loc='bot')
elm.Line().tox(I1.start)
elm.Line().up(d.unit*.8)
L1 = elm.Inductor().tox(V1.start).label('j3Ω')
elm.Line().down(d.unit*.8)
elm.CurrentLabel(top=False, ofst=.3).at(L1).label('$i_g$')
Infinite Transmission Line¶
Elements can be added inside for-loops if you need multiples.
The ellipsis is just another circuit element, called DotDotDot since Ellipsis is a reserved keyword in Python.
This also demonstrates the schemdraw.elements.ElementDrawing class to merge multiple elements into a single definition.
with schemdraw.Drawing(show=False) as d1:
elm.Resistor()
with d1.hold():
elm.Capacitor().down()
elm.Line().left()
with schemdraw.Drawing() as d2:
for i in range(3):
elm.ElementDrawing(d1)
with d2.hold():
elm.Line().length(d2.unit/6)
elm.DotDotDot()
elm.ElementDrawing(d1)
d2.move(dy=-d2.unit)
elm.Line().right(d2.unit/6)
elm.DotDotDot()
Power supply¶
Notice the diodes could be added individually, but here the built-in Rectifier element is used instead. Also note the use of newline characters inside resistor and capacitor labels.

with d.hold():
elm.Line().toy(top.start).dot()
elm.Line().tox(Q2.emitter)
elm.Capacitor(polar=True).toy(G.start).label('C3\n470$\\mu$F\n50V', loc='bot').dot()
elm.Line().tox(G.start).hold()
elm.Line().right().dot()
elm.Resistor().toy(top.center).label('R3\n10K\n1W', loc='bot').dot()
elm.Line().left().hold()
elm.Line().right()
elm.Dot(open=True)
elm.Gap().toy(G.start).label(['+', '$V_{out}$', '–'])
elm.Dot(open=True)
elm.Line().left()
