PSpice for Circuit Theory and Electronic Devices is one of a series of
five PSpice books and introduces the latest Cadence Orcad PSpice
version 10.5 by simulating a range of DC and AC exercises. It is aimed
primarily at those wishing to get up to speed with this version but
will be of use to high school students, undergraduate students, and of
course, lecturers. Circuit theorems are applied to a range of circuits
and the calculations by hand after analysis are then compared to the
simulated results. The Laplace transform and the s-plane are used to
analyze CR and LR circuits where transient signals are involved. Here,
the Probe output graphs demonstrate what a great learning tool PSpice
is by providing the reader with a visual verification of any
theoretical calculations. Series and parallel-tuned resonant circuits
are investigated where the difficult concepts of dynamic impedance and
selectivity are best understood by sweeping different circuit
parameters through a range of values. Obtaining semiconductor device
characteristics as a laboratory exercise has fallen out of favour of
late, but nevertheless, is still a useful exercise for understanding
or modelling semiconductor devices. Inverting and non-inverting
operational amplifiers characteristics such as gain-bandwidth are
investigated and we will see the dependency of bandwidth on the gain
using the performance analysis facility. Power amplifiers are examined
where PSpice/Probe demonstrates very nicely the problems of cross-over
distortion and other problems associated with power transistors. We
examine power supplies and the problems of regulation, ground bounce,
and power factor correction. Lastly, we look at MOSFET device
characteristics and show how these devices are used to form basic CMOS
logic gates such as NAND and NOR gates.
