Summary: This letter studies a simple nonautonomous chaotic circuit constructed by adding an impulsive switch to the RCL circuit. The switch operation depends on time and on state variable through a refractory threshold. The circuit exhibits various chaotic attractors, periodic attractors and related bifurcation phenomena. The dynamics can be analyzed using 1-D return map focusing on the time-dependent switching moments. Using a simple test circuit model typical phenomena are verified in PSPICE simulations.
