If you're diving into electronic circuits, this guide stands out with its hands-on SPICE software approach. It's like having a virtual lab where you can play with and understand electronic components without the risk of frying anything. Plus, it's packed with exercises and examples that translate theory into real-world circuit design skills. Whether you're studying or tinkering, this book could be your trusty sidekick.

Riley is your virtual thrift companion, and here to help you find your next favourite read. You can also find in-stock similar reads linked by topic and genre here!

This text distinguishes itself from its competition by its careful and complete integration of SPICE - a circuit simulation software program used widely in EE departments, especially in its free, Evaluation versions called PSPICE. The use of SPICE is incorporated directly into the book's rich selection of realistic examples. In simple terms, SPICE is used as an analysis tool to test electronics devices and their performance in circuits. The authors focus on three key objectives in presenting the basic concepts of electronics: describing device models for diodes, bipolar junction transistors, and field-effect transistors; applying these device models in a wide variety of realistic examples; and integrating the use of SPICE throughout as a powerful design tool for circuit analysis. The book also features a new learning pedagogy, with important concepts listed at the beginning of each chapter, marginal notes emphasizing key concepts in the text, example problems and circuit designs, drill exercises, checkup questions, and end-of-chapter problems. A CD-ROM containing Macintosh, DOS, and Windows Evaluation versions of PSPICE; SPICE netlists supporting the text; Acrobat-based electronic transparencies of text illustrations; and a collection of sample circuits developed for use with the Student Edition of Electronics Workbench for Windows is bound in to the back of the book, making this book a complete course and design solution for professors and students using PSPICE and other circuit analysis software.
