OrCAD Pspice and Circuit Analysis

Description:

A core text for courses in PSpice, or a supplement to any of the traditional DC/AC and devices courses, or a required lab supplement where computers are apart of the lab or outside work.

This simple, easy-to-follow guide to PSpice is designed to be accessible to anyone with a familiarity of basic electrical topics. Using a step-by-step approach, it explains everything needed to understand PSpice and apply it in a creative way to the analysis of electric and electronic circuits and devices. Coverage begins with dc circuit analysis, proceeds with ac circuit analysis, then goes into the various topics involving semiconductors.
