Introduction

This homepage contains the PSPICE schematic files of the circuits corresponding to the end-of-chapter problems and examples, as far as applicable. Students should try to construct their own schematic files before viewing the files in this homepage. The basic procedure is explained in Chapter 1 of the book and also in some other chapters when relevent features of PSPICE are introduced. A brief note about this book is given at the end of this page. For instructors, a complete solutions manual may be obtained from your local Addison-Wesley representatives. (In Hong Kong, the contact is Ms. Cheran Leung, Addison Wesley Longman China Limited, 2/F Cornwall House, Taikoo Place, 979 King's Road, Quarry Bay, Hong Kong. Email: addwesley@awl.com.hk.)

System Requirements

In order to run PSPICE, you need a PC, preferably a 486 or Pentium, running on WINDOWS 3.1 or WINDOWS95. The version of the PSPICE programme that can run the files is V7.0 or higher. It should be noted that the schematic files are not the same as netlist files. The latter usually have extensions ".CIR" and are used by PSPICE directly to generate results. The schematic files must be opened by the "Schematics" module of the PSPICE package which creates the netlist files for simulation. The schematic files contain information of the circuit connections and component orientations. Upon opened by "Schematics", you actually see circuit diagrams rather than ASCII codes representing the connection and component types.

PSPICE Student Evaluation Download or CDROM

The company that distributes PSPICE is OrCAD Corporation. A student evaluation version of the PSPICE package can be obtained free of charge from the MicroSim. All circuits provided in this homepage can be run by the student evaluation version. The address for downloading a student version of PSPICE is

About the book ...

Linear Circuit Analysis is a concise and practical treatment of the basics of circuits suitable for undergraduates. Whilst mathematical rigour is not scrifaced, the book is written in an easily-readable style and also covers many topics from a practical, non-mathematical perspective. For those who wish to explore other teaching methods, the later chapters offer an introduction to the topological method of analysis. The text starts by recapping basics such as Ohm's law before covering the nodal/mesh approach to circuit analysis. As such it equips students with effective analytical skills which will form a solid basis for the rest of their electronic engineering course.

Features:

  • takes a rigorous approach but the author looks at many conventional topics emphasizing fast inspection of circuits with minimum use of mathematics
  • covers the use of computer simulation, encouraging experimentation with PSPICE
  • introduces readers to the topological way of approaching circuit analysis
  • includes worked examples and graded problems
  • free PSPICE schematics files are available (see above)

Contents: basics; circuit theorems; mesh and nodal analyses; first order transients; mutual inductance and transformers; alternating currents and voltages; steady-state analysis of AC circuits; free oscillation and complex frequency concepts; passive two-port networks; circuit graphs; systematic analysis of resistive circuits; systematic analysis of linear dynamic circuits.
Appendices: mathematical techniques; Laplace transforms.
