Abstract
The use of non-ideal features of semiconductor devices is an interesting option for implementations of
nonlinear electronic systems. This paper analyzes the Chua circuit with nonlinearity based on the expo-
nential hyperbolic characteristics of semiconductor devices. The stability analysis using describing func-
tions predicts the dynamics of this nonlinear system, which is corroborated by numerical investigations
and experimental results. The dynamic behaviors and bifurcations of this nonlinear system are mapped
in parameter space in order to create a base for studies, analyses, and designs. The dynamic behavior
of the experimental high speed implementation of this version of Chua circuit differs from the expected
dynamics for a conventional Chua circuit due to effects of unmodelled non-idealities of the real semicon-
ductor devices, displaying that new and different dynamics for the Chua circuit can be obtained exploring
different nonlinearities.
