The National Instruments Multisim® software is a versatile design and simulation program. The intent of this workbook is to simulate a laboratory experience in electronics and help you develop a working knowledge of the Multisim software to enter and analyze circuit designs. The circuits in this manual illustrate fundamental concepts in dc/ac, digital, and device electronics. Each section will contain some background theory for the circuits that you will investigate, but only to help provide context for the specific topics that the section will cover. For best results, you should use this workbook to supplement, rather than replace, a textbook that discusses the subject material in depth. This manual provides suggested reading for each experiment."--pub. desc.

New from Delmar Learning, Electronics for Computer Technology is perfect for today's career-minded students as well as anyone with a keen interest in troubleshooting computer devices, components and electrical circuits. The first chapter introduces system-level topics, including representative systems, system notations, functional hierarchies, system connectivity, and system-level troubleshooting. In subsequent chapters, direct references are made to system applications in order to put each topic in the context of an overall system. Some software (programming) topics are addressed, yet emphasis throughout the book is on hardware, including all of the physical parts of the computer plus various electronic components within the computer. Electronic devices are also discussed, along with an overview of digital electronics, computers, and telecommunications. Readers will learn to apply system-level troubleshooting techniques to localize the detailed troubleshooting effort. Benefits: new system-level thinking and troubleshooting skills may be used to open doors to employment or as preparation for advanced study of modern industrial electronics, robotics, or other industrial control systems "System Perspective" features appear at strategic points, illustrating how a device or circuit being discussed is actually used in a practical, functional system such as a computer "Circuit Exploration" exercises are included in every chapter, providing opportunities to gain hands-on troubleshooting experience in a lab setting or circuit simulation environment step-by-step calculator sequences are provided whenever a new type of calculation is introduced, minimizing the learning curve for novices CD includes pre-created MultiSIM circuits and Textbook Edition of MultiSIM the behavior of components is discussed and explained in terms of Ohm's Law, Kirchhoff's Law, and basic circuit principles wherever practical, making this book ideal for beginners numerical circ

This introduction to circuit design is unusual in several respects. First, it offers not just explanations, but a full course. Each of the twenty-five sessions begins with a discussion of a particular sort of circuit followed by the chance to try it out and see how it actually behaves. Accordingly, students understand the circuit's operation in a way that is deeper and much more satisfying than the manipulation of formulas. Second, it describes circuits that more traditional engineering introductions would postpone: on the third day, we build a radio receiver; on the fifth day, we build an operational amplifier from an array of transistors. The digital half of the course centers on applying microcontrollers, but gives exposure to Verilog, a powerful Hardware Description Language. Third, it proceeds at a rapid pace but requires no prior knowledge of electronics. Students gain intuitive understanding through immersion in good circuit design.

An essential resource for both students and teachers alike, this DC Electrical Circuits Workbook contains over 500 problems spread across seven chapters. Each chapter begins with an overview of the relevant theory and includes exercises focused on specific kinds of circuit problems such as Analysis, Design, Challenge and Computer Simulation. An Appendix offers the answers to the odd-numbered Analysis and Design exercises. Chapter topics include fundamental for current, voltage, energy, power and resistor color code; series, parallel, and series-parallel resistive circuits using either voltage or current sources; analysis techniques such as superposition, source conversions, mesh analysis, nodal analysis, Thévenin's and Norton's theorems, and delta-wye conversions; plus dependent sources, and an introduction to capacitors and inductors. RL and RC circuits are included for DC initial and steady state response along with transient response. This is the print version of the on-line OER.

This unique workbook teaches how to troubleshoot circuits with the help MultiSIM(TM) 6.1. Working on the computer, you will learn to make measurements, replace components, and test results just as you would in a lab. Circuits contain built-in faults to give you troubleshooting practice. This exciting approach quickly builds the skill and confidence needed to do live circuit troubleshooting.

Divided into two major sections, this guide's coverage is current and computer simulations via SPICE and Multisim are integrated throughout to provide experiences similar to those encountered in industry. Fundamentals are stressed in order to set up readers for success. Computer simulations are integrated as a means of verifying a by-hand calculation, enabling readers to perform "what-if" experiments, test the validity of differing device models, or investigate second-order effects.

Across 15 chapters, Semiconductor Devices covers the theory and application of discrete semiconductor devices including various types of diodes, bipolar junction transistors, JFETs, MOSFETs and IGBTs. Applications include rectifying, clipping, clamping, switching, small signal amplifiers and followers, and class A, B and D power amplifiers. Focusing on practical aspects of analysis and design, interpretations of device data sheets are integrated throughout the chapters. Computer simulations of circuit responses are included as well. Each chapter features a set of learning objectives, numerous sample problems, and a variety of exercises designed to hone and test circuit design and analysis skills. A companion laboratory manual is available. This is the print version of the on-line OER.
