The Art of Simulation Using PSPICEAnalog and Digital

By Bashir Al-Hashimi Copyright 1995

    This comprehensive volume covers both elementary and advanced analog and digital circuit simulation using PSpice. The text includes many worked examples, circuit diagrams, tables, and code listings. It also compares practical results with those obtained from simulation.
