Pspice For Basic Circuit Analysis

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.

A copy of the OrCAD PSpice 10.0 Demo Edition CD is packaged with this book.

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.

Especially appropriate for those approaching electrical engineering concepts, computers, and PSpice for the first time, this text introduces circuit topics and relevant PSpice features together using a highly effective complimentary approach. Comprehensive and substantive in coverage, yet well organized, concise, and accessible, it allows users to gain hands-on experience in applying the latest versions of PSpice to the many kinds of problems arising in electrical circuits. Chapter titles include PSpice Analysis of DC Circuits; DC Network Theorems; Transients in RC and RL Circuits; Sinusoidal Waveforms in Resistive Circuits; Steady-State Sinusoidal Response of RC, RL and RLC Circuits; The Total Response of RC, RL, and RLC Circuits with Sinusoidal Sources; Alternating Current Network Theorems; Power and Energy in Alternating Current Circuits; Frequency Response of RC, RL, and RLC Circuits; and Circuits with Non-Sinusoidal Sources. For in-house training programs of companies that are involved in the electric/electronic field, and professionals who ant to become competent in the use of PSpice. e.

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.

Used collectively, PSPICE and MATLAB are unsurpassed for circuit modeling and data analysis. PSPICE can perform DC, AC, transient, Fourier, temperature, and Monte Carlo analysis of electronic circuits with device models and subsystem subcircuits. MATLAB can then carry out calculations of device parameters, curve fitting, numerical integration, nume
