This practical PSpice manual, updated to support the latest release of OrCAD Pspice introduces students to the fundamental uses of this book in support of basic circuit analysis. The organization allows readers to advance quickly to solving a variety of circuit analysis problems. The modular approach allows this hand-on reference to be used with any introductory circuits text.
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.
Electric circuits, and their electronic circuit extensions, are found in all electrical and electronic equipment; including: household equipment, lighting, heating, air conditioning, control systems in both homes and commercial buildings, computers, consumer electronics, and means of transportation, such as cars, buses, trains, ships, and airplanes. Electric circuit analysis is essential for designing all these systems. Electric circuit analysis is a foundation for all hardware courses taken by students in electrical engineering and allied fields, such as electronics, computer hardware, communications and control systems, and electric power. This book is intended to help students master basic electric circuit analysis, as an essential component of their professional education. Furthermore, the objective of this book is to approach circuit analysis by developing a sound understanding of fundamentals and a problem-solving methodology that encourages critical thinking.
Intended for beginning technology students, this text reinforces basic circuit principles through the use of the computer program PSpice and may be used in conjunction with a conventional textbook treatment of circuit analysis.
"This manual provides step-by-step instruction for using PSpice and Orcad Capture to: analyze dc circuits, including variable dc circuits, analyze ac circuits, analyze circuits in the time domain to determine the complete response; [and] analyze circuits in the frequency domain to determine the frequency response. A formal problem solving procedure is described in Chapter 1 and used throughout the manual. Every example in this manual explicitly examines the computer output to see if it is correct."--Publisher's website.
