Used collectively, PSPICE and MATLAB are unsurpassed for circuit modeling and data analysis. PSPICE can perform DC, AC, transient, Fourier, temperature, and Monte Carlo analysis of electronic circuits with device models and subsystem subcircuits. MATLAB can then carry out calculations of device parameters, curve fitting, numerical integration, nume

This guide to the PSpice circuit simulator provides a tutorial approach to using PSpice through graduated examples. This edition includes enhanced pedagogical features, and coverage of the newest capabilities of this program. It explains: the use of Monte Carlo methods in PSpice for statistically computing estimates of how circuits will behave with variations in component values and derivation and use of two-port parameters, including s-parameters. It also includes an expanded section on group and time delay, and on noise analysis, as well as fuller descriptions and examples for using parameters, functions and values defined by formulas to generalize circuit blocks and specify component values.

"This book uses a top-down approach to introduce readers to the SPICE simulator. It begins by describing techniques for simulating circuits, then presents the various SPICE and OrCAD commands and their applications to electrical and electronic circuits. Lavishly illustrated, this new edition includes even more hands-on exercises, suggestions, sample problems, and circuit models of actual devices. It is an ideal supplement for courses in electric or electronic circuitry and is also a solid professional reference."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

To be accredited, a power electronics course should cover a significant amount of design content and include extensive use of computer-aided analysis with simulation tools such as SPICE. Based upon the authors' experience in designing such courses, SPICE for Power Electronics and Electric Power, Second Edition integrates a SPICE simulator with a po
