Description
Schaum’s Outline of Electronic Devices and Circuits is an innovative new version of this popular outline. This problem-solved approach text is used worldwide in undergraduate courses: usually called Introduction to Electronics or Principles of Electronics, and taken as a Junior level course in Engineering Departments. This book will function as a traditional problem-solved text, while providing an interface with Pspice (PS), the industry standard computing program used by engineers and students of engineering to produce schematic diagrams and solve problems associated with electronic devices and circuit designs. Much of the work students and engineers do in this area is now calculated using (Pspice), and the use of (PSpice) will be ubiquitous in the near future. Pspice is a commercial simulation program built by Microsim around the Spice solution engine. As a marketing tool, Microsim released to public domain evaluation versions of the commercial product that can handle circuits with a limited number of elements and nodes. In support of this revised edition of Schaum’s Outline of Electronic Devices and Circuits, the author, through the Department of Engineering at the University of Kentucky, will maintain a free download site where any user can obtain copies of the evaluation version of PSpice and the netlist code for all PSpice problems in the revised book. Problems can be solved with or without PSpice, but this feature will definitely increase student/instructor interest in, and the continued viability of the outline.
