Developments in sparse-matrix handling techniques have resulted in the emergence of the network tableau as an important method for a computer solution of network equations. This paper considers the use of the tableau method for the computer-aided design of thyristor circuits and illustrates the method with two examples. The tableau method is described briefly, the problems of sparse-matrix handling, numerical integration and thyristor modelling are introduced.
