The PSpice Manual will be sold as a stand-alone and, also, in packages with Neamen, Electronic Circuit Analysis and Jaeger, Microelectronic Circuit Design. Text introduces readers to the fundamental uses of Pspice in support of Microelectronic circuit analysis. This book goes beyond basic circuit analysis to include analysis of more complex electronic problems. Analysis of diodes, BJTs, JFETs, MOSFETs, and transformers will be included- -all key areas in the Electronics course. Key features include: * Step-by-step instructions to support novice users as they perform schematic capture and circuit simulation. * Detailed explanations and examples of the use of PSpice in typical problem-solving situations. * Explains some of the salient features of PSpice, including information on OrCAD Capture and Probe.
Electronics: Basic, Analog, and Digital with PSpice does more than just make unsubstantiated assertions about electronics. Compared to most current textbooks on the subject, it pays significantly more attention to essential basic electronics and the underlying theory of semiconductors. In discussing electrical conduction in semiconductors, the author addresses the important but often ignored fundamental and unifying concept of electrochemical potential of current carriers, which is also an instructive link between semiconductor and ionic systems at a time when electrical engineering students are increasingly being exposed to biological systems. The text presents the background and tools necessary for at least a qualitative understanding of new and projected advances in microelectronics. The author provides helpful PSpice simulations and associated procedures (based on schematic capture, and using OrCAD® 16.0 Demo software), which are available for download. These simulations are explained in considerable detail and integrated throughout the book. The book also includes practical, real-world examples, problems, and other supplementary material, which helps to demystify concepts and relations that many books usually state as facts without offering at least some plausible explanation. With its focus on fundamental physical concepts and thorough exploration of the behavior of semiconductors, this book enables readers to better understand how electronic devices function and how they are used. The book’s foreword briefly reviews the history of electronics and its impact in today’s world. ***Classroom Presentations are provided on the CRC Press website. Their inclusion eliminates the need for instructors to prepare lecture notes. The files can be modified as may be desired, projected in the classroom or lecture hall, and used as a basis for discussing the course material.***
"This book uses a top-down approach to introduce readers to the SPICE simulator. It begins by describing techniques for simulating circuits, then presents the various SPICE and OrCAD commands and their applications to electrical and electronic circuits. Lavishly illustrated, this new edition includes even more hands-on exercises, suggestions, sample problems, and circuit models of actual devices. It is an ideal supplement for courses in electric or electronic circuitry and is also a solid professional reference."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Analog Design and Simulation using OrCAD Capture and PSpice provides step-by-step instructions on how to use the Cadence/OrCAD family of Electronic Design Automation software for analog design and simulation. Organized into 22 chapters, each with exercises at the end, it explains how to start Capture and set up the project type and libraries for PSpice simulation. It also covers the use of AC analysis to calculate the frequency and phase response of a circuit and DC analysis to calculate the circuits bias point over a range of values. The book describes a parametric sweep, which involves sweeping a parameter through a range of values, along with the use of Stimulus Editor to define transient analog and digital sources. It also examines the failure of simulations due to circuit errors and missing or incorrect parameters, and discusses the use of Monte Carlo analysis to estimate the response of a circuit when device model parameters are randomly varied between specified tolerance limits according to a specified statistical distribution. Other chapters focus on the use of worst-case analysis to identify the most critical components that will affect circuit performance, how to add and create PSpice models, and how the frequency-related signal and dispersion losses of transmission lines affect the signal integrity of high-speed signals via the transmission lines. Practitioners, researchers, and those interested in using the Cadence/OrCAD professional simulation software to design and analyze electronic circuits will find the information, methods, compounds, and experiments described in this book extremely useful. - Provides both a comprehensive user guide, and a detailed overview of simulation - Each chapter has worked and ready to try sample designs and provides a wide range of to-do exercises - Core skills are developed using a running case study circuit - Covers Capture and PSpice together for the first time
In many cases, new designers of electronic circuits blindly search for ways to improve the design itself using a brute-force, hit-and-miss approach. The intention of this book is to avoid this pitfall by teaching readers what not to do with SPICE. This is accomplished by keying each example in this text to those presented in Sedra and Smith's Microelectronic Circuits 3/E, where a complete hand analysis is provided.
Microelectronic Circuit Designis known for being a technically excellent text. The new edition has been revised to make the material more motivating and accessible to students while retaining a student-friendly approach.Jaeger has added more pedagogy and an emphaisis on design through the use of design examples and design notes. Some pedagogical elements include chapter opening vignettes, chapter objectives, "Electronics in Action" boxes, a problem solving methodology, and "design note" boxes. The number of examples, including new design examples, has been increased, giving students more opportunity to see problems worked out. Additionally,some of the less fundamental mathematical material has been moved to the ARIS website. In addition this edition comes with aHomework Management System called ARIS, which includes 450 static problems.
MICROELECTRONIC CIRCUITS: ANALYSIS AND DESIGN, 3E combines a breadth-first approach to learning electronics with a strong emphasis on design and simulation. This book first introduces the general characteristics of circuits (ICs) in preparation for using circuit design and analysis techniques. This edition then offers a more detailed study of devices and circuits and how they operate within ICs. More than half of the problems and examples concentrate on design and emphasize how to use computer software tools extensively. The book's proven sequence introduces electronic devices and circuits, then electronic circuits and applications, and finally, digital and analog integrated circuits. Readers learn to apply theory to real-world design problems as they master the skills to test and verify their designs.
