Summary

Now, an expert finally explains the secrets to SPICE... Computerized Circuit Analysis with SPICE Computerized Circuit Analysis with SPICE: A Complete Guide to SPICE with Applications is a primer to the fundamentals of SPICE, offering, for the first time in print, a step-by-step approach to mastering SPICE 2G.6 software--the foundation for all current, advanced-level SPICE packages on the market today. Starting with the definition of basic circuit components (resistors, capacitors, and inductors), the book builds an understanding of how to integrate these components to generate analyses. The SPICE package allows the user to perform four basic types of analyses--operating point, DC, AC, and transient--all of which are clearly explained and demonstrated with examples. Using a clear, methodical approach, the book builds on each analysis, providing an understanding of the necessary interrelationships between analyses. Featuring actual circuit examples, detailed analysis of the resulting data, and the different ways in which data can be analyzed and extracted, this approach allows users to develop more exotic and specialized circuit analyses and make the most of enhancement features supported by a variety of SPICE packages. The book also contains a summary of SPICE related commands for each chapter, an appendix which provides a summary listing of all commands, as well as an appendix providing a variety of models useful in creating basic and advanced circuits. Representing a major revolution in upgrading the accuracy, cost-saving, and efficiency of circuit analysis techniques, SPICE software has become indispensable to working electronics professionals. Let Computerized Circuit Analysis with SPICE: A Complete Guide to SPICE with Applications, the first guide to the basics of SPICE, show you how to put this phenomenally useful software to work.
