Book Description

Publication Date: August 28, 1998 | ISBN-10: 0750631376 | ISBN-13: 978-0750631372

Electronics Workbench has enabled a very wide variety of circuits to be designed on screen, tested and modified before being committed to a PCB layout. This book provides a collection of circuit modules which can be tried and tested using the enclosed CD-ROM in conjunction with Electronics Workbench Version 5. The book and CD-Rom guide the reader from the simplest circuits using bulbs and batteries to advanced systems using integrated circuits.

A systems approach is employed and you are invited to experiment on screen to gain insight into the function of components and how they interact. Theory is tested by questions at the end of each chapter. The free CD ROM includes a demo version of Electronics Workbench and all the circuits in the book, fifteen of which can be run within the demo.
Max Horsey is the Head of Electronics at Radley College and is the author of numerous articles for Everyday Electronics, Radio & Electronics Constructor and Electronics and Beyond. He has also written a book entitled Electronics in Practice, published in 1986.

· includes Electronics Workbench CD-ROM with circuits constructed using this exciting software
· useful projects to build
· learn how to use Electronics Workbench for real, as well as take advantage of the circuit modules that are described and realised in this book

5.0 out of 5 stars A comprehensive beginners guide, December 4, 1999

By 

Luke Matthews (London, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Electronics Projects Using Electronics Workbench (Paperback)

A comprehensive beginners guide, but not only that but a book able to help some of the more experienced. It teaches you how to simulate both a circuit as a whole or a circuit broken up into modules to test their practical capability. It does not bother to paraphrase what is already in the manual but takes the reader into the realms of circuit design. Consequently I have found this book worth its weight in gold, as it has saved me many hard hours work and I have had the great pleasure of being able to toy with new ideas effortlessly.

Possibly the best electronics book I've read recently. Simple to understand, even for the least experiencied student. Free CD-ROM is excellent and makes the book come alive.

This review is from: Electronics Projects Using Electronics Workbench (Paperback)

This book is NOT about using the simulator program Electronics Workbench. It is a rehash of some old magazine articles about electronics, written at the hobbyist level or lower. It has NO useful information about the software. If you already know ohms law and want to learn Electronics Workbench forget this book.
