Analog Electronics: An Integrated PSPICE Approach

Provides and introduction to electronic devices and circuits as they apply to analog electronics for degree and technology students studying electronic engineering. The text covers discrete diode and transistor circuits, and circuits employing operational amplifiers. Analytical methods are kept simple and are largely confined to the use of Kirchloff's laws, and Thevenin and Superposition theorems. PSpice is used to provide a more detailed understanding of circuit operations for different component values or different ... Read More

Provides and introduction to electronic devices and circuits as they apply to analog electronics for degree and technology students studying electronic engineering. The text covers discrete diode and transistor circuits, and circuits employing operational amplifiers. Analytical methods are kept simple and are largely confined to the use of Kirchloff's laws, and Thevenin and Superposition theorems. PSpice is used to provide a more detailed understanding of circuit operations for different component values or different frequencies, and to illustrate the differences between simple hand-based calculations and the more accurate computer simulations. Simple design concepts form a part of many of the topics, including dc biasing, power dissipation, amplifier frequency response, frequency output from oscillators and the frequency response of filters.
