Pspice for Windows: A Circuit Simulation Primer

This circuit simulation text addresses PSpice for Windows using a step-by-step process. The combination text/software package takes students from a simple dc circuit with its customary current and voltage measurements, through a damped resonant circuit requiring rise time characteristics, to a complex analog/digital circuit that demands sophisticated timing and frequency measurements. Students draw circuits directly on screen, exactly as they would to create initial designs. They then analyze the circuit displayed at a high level of detail.

A new circuit simulation text to address PSpice for Windows! Using a careful, step-by-step process, this combination text/software package takes students from a simple dc circuit with its customary current and voltage measurements, through a damped resonant circuit requiring rise time characteristics, to a complex analog/digital circuit that demands sophisticated timing and frequency measurements. Students draw circuits directly on the screen, exactly as they would to create initial designs. They then analyze the circuit using PSpice, and see the circuit displayed at a level of detail unavailable through conventional techniques. Though aimed at beginning students, the text's multi- level activities, examples, and exercises...coupled with its instruction in advanced techniques such as Monte Carlo and Performance...challenge more experienced students, as well.
