Schematic Capture with Microsim

Features

Arranges content by analysis type and provides a wide range of examples -- from circuits covered in a first semester circuit theory course to senior-level amplifier switching circuits.

• Provides both simple circuits and advanced circuits to illustrate each analysis type.
• Allows sections that are too advanced for beginning students to be skipped without loss of continuity.

Uses step-by-step screen captures to lead students through the software.

• Presents screen captures as if an instructor were giving a lecture on the use of the software -- showing intermediate windows and specifying all mouse selections.

Focuses on using the PSpice software to verify calculations or intuition.

Includes PC Board design and layout with Pads Perform.

• Enables students to layout a schematic graphically, simulate the circuit to verify the design, andthen layout a PC Board automatically.

Includes exercises at the end of each section that give students practice in using the software

• Exercises specify a circuit and give the simulation results, and ask students to try to use the software to obtain the same results.

Provides all necessary software (on CD-ROM):

• MicroSim Evaluation Version 7.1 -- Schematics and PSpice.
• On Line Documentation.
• MicroSim Evaluation Versions, 5.2 and 6.1 (with fewer hardware requirements).
• Pads-Perform -- PC board layout software.
• All Schematic files for examples and exercise.
• Floppy disk copy files downloadable from the CD-ROM.
