Trades & Technology

A supplementary manual designed for use throughout the continuum of freshman/senior-level electronics courses in Engineering and Engineering Technology.

Written as a class demonstration—with step-by-step screen captures—these manuals show students how to use the Cadence®/Orcad® version of the Pspice® circuit simulation program with the Orcad Capture® front end. Focusing on a wide range of circuits that are studied throughout the engineering/engineering technology curriculum, they feature a collection of examples that show how to create a circuit, how to run the different analyses, and how to obtain the results from those analyses.

• Only book to cover the Cadence®/Orcad® version of PSpice®.

  • An excellent resource to cover this new software. Ex.___

• Most in-depth PSpice reference available—Covers the basic analyses such as AC/DC/Transient, as well as Temperature Sweeps, Monte Carlo, Parametric Sweep, Digital Analyses, and Modeling.

  • Offers a variety of topics for students to use PSpice. Ex.___

• Designed for use by students for their entire educational career and beyond.

  • Equips students to use this program for class and in their careers. Ex.___

• Book presentation simulates class presentation of material.

  • Presents students with intermediate windows and specifies all mouse selections. Ex.___

• Organized by analysis type—Guides students through an array of logically sequenced discussions, integrating a wide range of examples-from circuits covered in a first-semester circuit theory course to senior-level amplifier switching circuits.

  • Eases students into more advanced, more complex topics, helping to minimize intimidation and increase motivation. Ex.___

• Step-by-step screen captures—Leads students through the software displaying screen captures—complete with intermediate windows and mouse selections-right along side of the narrative.

  • Provides students with an easy to follow format to allow for self-paced learning, and provides the visual support that today's learners need to fully grasp often abstract concepts and procedures. Ex.___

• Both simple circuits and advanced circuits—Uses a broad range of complexity to fully illustrate each analysis type.

  • Students benefit from a wide range of circuits and difficulty. Ex.___

• Drawing, printing, and saving of schematics using Orcad Capture—Covered in Part I.

  • Offered for beginning users. Ex.___

• In depth usage of the graphical postprocessor Probe—Covered in Part 2.

  • Offered for beginning users. Ex.___

• End-of-section exercises—Specifies a circuit and gives the simulation results, then ask students to try to use the software to obtain the same results.

  • Provides frequent opportunities for students to practice using the software. Ex.___

• Parts libraries described are changed slightly from Cadence's distribution libraries.

  • Offers students consolidated libraries and adds new parts to make the program simpler to use for beginning students. Ex.___

• Pspice® software (Orcad Lite 9.2)—Focuses on using Pspice® to verify calculations or intuition.

  • Offers students an electronic means of checking their work, helping to reinforce their overall understanding. Ex.___

• All the necessary software on one CD-ROM—Provides Cadence Evaluation Orcad Lite 9.2: Capture; PSpice; PROBE, Orcad Layout, On Line Documentation; Adobe Acrobat; and all Schematic files for examples and exercise.

  • Extends understanding beyond the classroom and past the printed page, engaging students in relevant assignments using today's hottest technologies. Ex.___

• Orcad Capture® CIS is covered for project management such as creating bills of materials and maintaining a database of commonly used parts.

  • Shows a wide variety of applications for the software. Ex.___

• New web-based parts database Activeparts.com is featured for downloading parts from the internet. Software provided on CD-ROM. Software updates available at the author's website at www.rose-hulman.edu/~herniter.
