5.0 out of 5 stars
Know the technical details under the hood
This book presents the details about the OrCAD PSPICE language itself and about how to use it to do various kinds of circuit simulation. It is not focused on the GUI of OrCAD PSPICE, which is part of CAPTURE although it does include three chapters about how to use PSPICE with Capture. The book introduces the PSPICE models of almost all electrical and eletronic components,...

Not what I expected
Most of this book is manual node entry ("old school PSpice"). Although the author fully explains the reasoning,I was looking for instructions on Capture and Schematic, which are more useful to me. Only 4 out of 17 chapters discuss Capture. Nothing specific on Model editor.

This review is from: OrCAD PSpice and Circuit Analysis (4th Edition) (Paperback)
This book presents the details about the OrCAD PSPICE language itself and about how to use it to do various kinds of circuit simulation. It is not focused on the GUI of OrCAD PSPICE, which is part of CAPTURE although it does include three chapters about how to use PSPICE with Capture. The book introduces the PSPICE models of almost all electrical and eletronic components, such as DIODE, JFET, BJT, MOSFET, operational amplifiers, controlled-sources, resistors, capacitors, inductors, transformers and nonlinear components. It teaches you how to describe the circuits with components with PSPICE language. Then it explains what are DC, AC, noise, transient, Fourier, and harmonic analysis, and teaches how to do these analyses with PSPICE and how to understand the results in text format and to show them in graphical format. The graphical representation of circuits in Capture will finally be compiled into a list of PSPICE statements. Moreover, it tells you how to adjust the model parameters of active components (such as transistor's Beta, diode's breakdown voltage), how to set the initial state at time = 0 of capacitor and inductors. numerous circuit examples are interwoven with the PSPICE language teaching in a smooth pace. If a simulation user with Capture GUI can use the PSPICE language itsself, it is of great help in advanced simulation. The appendices includes handy and useful information about language statments, device model paramters and device labrary. The only thing that I don't feel satisfied with is that there is little about digital simulation.
This book is an excellent book for students and designers of electrical engineering related specialty. |
