Exploring the strong features of PSPICE and the powerful functions of MATLAB(R) for electronic circuit analysis, this second edition continues to provide an introduction to PSPICE and a simple, hands-on overview of MATLAB. It also demonstrates the combined power of PSPICE and MATLAB for solving electronics problems. This edition includes updated MATLAB topics, schematic capture and text-based PSPICE netlists in several chapters, and a new chapter on PSPICE simulation using the ORCAD schematic capture program. It also contains new examples and problems, along with a revised bibliography in each chapter.

Reviews

Praise for the First Edition "! With the ease of using a high-level language, the book describes the combined power of PSPICE and MATLAB programming for analyzing diode, op-amps, and transistor circuits ! These chapters are bound to motivate any enthusiastic electronic engineer interested in simulation, modeling, and analysis of electronic circuits. This book has clearly exposed the strength of the integrated usage of PSPICE and MATLAB packages in solving electronic circuits. The numerous examples, both worked out and homework problems, should provide the reader with a good knowledge of the integrated usage of PSPICE and MATLAB packages !" --K. Vasudevan, University of Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA "Each chapter contains a large number of worked PSPICE and MATLAB examples ! Highly recommended as a useful addition for lower-division undergraduates through professionals, and two-year technical program students." --CHOICE, December 2002
