Readers benefit because the book is based on these three themes: (1) it builds an understanding of concepts based on information the reader has previously learned; (2) it helps stress the relationship between conceptual understanding and problem-solving approaches; (3) the authors provide numerous examples and problems that use realistic values and situations to give users a strong foundation of engineering practice. The book also includes a PSpice Supplement which contains problems to teach readers how to construct PSpice source files; and this PSpice Version 9.2 can be used to solve many of the exercises and problems found in the book. Topical emphasis is on the basic techniques of circuit analysis -- Illustrated via a Digital-to-Analog Resistive Ladder (Chapter 2); the Flash Converter (Chapter 4); Dual Slope Analog-to-Digital Converter (Chapter 5); Effect of parasite inductance on the step response of a series RLC circuit (Chapter 6); a Two-Stage RC Ladder Network (Chapter 8); and a Switching Surge Voltage (Chapter 9).

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 fourth edition of this work continues to provide a thorough perspctive of the subject, communicated through a clear explanation of the concepts and techniques of electric circuits. This edition was developed with keen attention to the learning needs of students. It includes illustrations that have been redesigned for clarity, new problems and new worked examples. Margin notes in the text point out the option of integrating PSpice with the provided Introduction to PSpice; and an instructor's roadmap (for instructors only) serves to classify homework problems by approach. The author has also given greater attention to the importance of circuit memory in electrical engineering, and to the role of electronics in the electrical engineering curriculum.
