Publisher's Synopsis
PSpice is a personal computer version of SPICE, which is an acronym for Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Analysis. Based on the author's theory that use of analysis, simulation and laboratory experimentation provides students with an effective learning experience, this text enables students to experiment effectively and widely, thus gaining experience at low cost and risk. The author uses analysis to help develop computational skills and encourage students to focus on circuit approximations, simulation to lead students to explore parameter variations on circuit performance and consider the effects of parasitic elements, and laboratory experimentation to make students deal with circuit reality and help them relate analysis and simulation with actual circuit behaviour. With each method reinforcing the other, this book provides different ways to understand how electrical circuits work. This book also supplements "Circuit Analysis", 2nd edition, with a PC version of the SPICE simulation programme.
