Synopses & Reviews
This hands-on electronics lab manual presents a variety of computer-based simulations of electronic circuiting within an easy-to-learn-and-use virtual environment, using PSpice. Features a Hands-on approach (even with no lab equipment) that directs readers toward proper analysis technique and use of virtual instruments. Provides a troubleshooting section in each lab. Includes labs for: The Buffer and Voltage/Current Converters; The Non-Inverting Amplifier; The Inverting Amplifier; Mixers; Difference Amplifiers; The OpAmp as a Comparator; Active Low-Pass Filters; Active High-Pass Filters; Active Bandpass Filters; Notch Filters; Oscillator Circuits; The Peak Detector; The Digital-to-Analog Converter; The Integrator and Differentiator; The Log and Anti-Log Amplifiers; The Analog Thermometer; The Voltage-Regulated Power Supply; and The OpAmp Function Generator. Provides ready-to-use lab circuits, on a disk. For those interested in operational amplifiers and PSpice.
