This book shows readers how to learn analog electronics by simulating circuits. Readers will be enabled to master basic electric circuit analysis, as an essential component of their professional education. The author’s approach enables readers to learn theory as needed, then immediately apply it to the simulation of circuits based on that theory, while using the resulting tables, graphs and waveforms to gain a deeper insight into the theory, as well as where theory and practice diverge!

This text discusses simulation process for circuits including clamper, voltage and current divider, transformer modeling, transistor as an amplifier, transistor as a switch, MOSFET modeling, RC and LC filters, step and impulse response to RL and RC circuits, amplitude modulator in a step-by-step manner for more clarity and understanding to the readers. It covers electronic circuits like rectifiers, RC filters, transistor as an amplifier, operational amplifiers, pulse response to a series RC circuit, time domain simulation with a triangular input signal, and modulation in detail. The text presents issues that occur in practical implementation of various electronic circuits and assist the readers in finding solutions to those issues using the software. Aimed at undergraduate, graduate students, and academic researchers in the areas including electrical and electronics and communications engineering, this book: Discusses simulation of analog circuits and their behavior for different parameters. Covers AC/DC circuit modeling using regular and parametric sweep methods. The theory will be augmented with practical electrical circuit examples that will help readers to better understand the topic. Discusses circuits like rectifiers, RC filters, transistor as an amplifier, and operational amplifiers in detail.

LTspice® for Linear Circuits Introduce yourself to the industry-leading software in electronic circuit simulation The simulation of electronic circuits is a crucial tool in modern electrical engineering. Many currently available software toolkits for circuit simulation are expensive, or nominally free but with significant restrictions on features and applications. LTspice®, a software distributed by semiconductor manufacturer Analog Devices, is not only the most widely used SPICE-based circuit simulator in the industry, but also free and unrestricted. LTspice®for Linear Circuits provides a comprehensive introduction to this software and its circuit simulation capabilities. Focusing on the fostering of practical knowledge, the book develops a six-step strategy for solving circuit analysis problems, beginning with the formulation of the problem, and proceeding through the simulation and the review of results. Readable and built around an easy-to-use, accessible software, LTspice® for Linear Circuits is an essential tool for any would-be electrical engineer. LTspice® for Linear Circuits readers will also find: Practical examples of circuit analysis problems and their solutions Detailed treatment of problems involving DC Circuits, First-Order Circuits, AC Circuits, Frequency Response and more Educational content from an author with decades of experience teaching electrical circuits LTspice®for Linear Circuits is perfect for undergraduates in electrical engineering and adjacent subjects, as well as anyone looking for an introduction to this widely used software.

This textbook provides a compact but comprehensive treatment that guides students through the analysis of circuits, using LTspice®. Ideal as a hands-on source for courses in Circuits, Electronics, Digital Logic and Power Electronics this text focuses on solving problems using market-standard software, corresponding to all key concepts covered in the classroom. The author uses his extensive classroom experience to guide students toward deeper understanding of key concepts, while they gain facility with software they will need to master for later studies and practical use in their engineering careers.

Electric circuits, and their electronic circuit extensions, are found in all electrical and electronic equipment; including: household equipment, lighting, heating, air conditioning, control systems in both homes and commercial buildings, computers, consumer electronics, and means of transportation, such as cars, buses, trains, ships, and airplanes. Electric circuit analysis is essential for designing all these systems. Electric circuit analysis is a foundation for all hardware courses taken by students in electrical engineering and allied fields, such as electronics, computer hardware, communications and control systems, and electric power. This book is intended to help students master basic electric circuit analysis, as an essential component of their professional education. Furthermore, the objective of this book is to approach circuit analysis by developing a sound understanding of fundamentals and a problem-solving methodology that encourages critical thinking.
