Product Description
Product Description
A supplementary manual designed for use throughout the continuum of freshman/senior-level electronics courses in Engineering and Engineering Technology.
The best and most in-depth PSpice® manual available, this text, written as a class demonstration with step-by-step screen captures, shows students how to use the Cadence®/OrCAD® version of the PSpice® circuit simulation program with the OrCAD Capture® front end. Focusing on a wide range of circuits that are studied throughout the engineering/engineering technology curriculum, this manual features a collection of examples that show how to create a circuit, how to run different analyses, and how to obtain the results from those analyses. To access examples go to this URL www.pearsoned.com/electronics .

Excellent users' manual
17 Nov 2001
Format:Paperback
This book covers all the issues that arise in using Orcad Lite Version 9.2 in an undergraduate setting. Screen dumps show exactly how to implement the most used features. New features are described that prove very useful. Supplementary material on the author's Web site includes file exchange by e-mail, incorporation of Probe plots into Word, and the use of hierarchical blocks that can be drilled down to the underlying schematics. .
Some features, like the design cache, are not described in detail. These are new, more specialized bells and whistles of the Cadence version.
The author takes the conventional approach of showing what can be done without explaining the quirks of the new system and its drawbacks. I believe readers might very well appreciate a comparison of pros and cons of Version 8.0 or earlier vs. this new version that, along with its advantages, uses an inferior drawing package for schematics, consumes huge amounts of memory, crashes frequently, sometimes confuses projects open at the same time, and often can't locate components of projects (like the Schematic!) clearly present in the same folder as parts it does find.
Bottom line: a great place to learn the new Cadence PSpice

Easy to follow
14 July 2004
Format:Paperback
If everyone writes textbooks or manuals like Marc Herniter, life would be easy for students and engineers. This book is reasonably priced. Every step in the manual is illustrated by a screen capture, so there is not much guessing involved. The author also shows a lot of tricks and different ways to do simulations which I appreciate a lot. The book is certainly easier to follow than those "Idiot's guide to..." or "...for Dummies" books.
This manual is not intended to teach people about circuit theory. Its main purpose is to teach users how to use Cadence PSpice. Users should have knowledge on electronic circuits or are taking an electronic circuit course concurrently. If you find it hard to learn PSpice from the PSpice user's guide, you should get this book instead. It really works.

Schematic Capture with Cadence PSpice
13 Oct 2005
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Marc Herniter writes good clear PSpice books. I have three of his PSpice books (including this one).
The book is written in a clear straight forward manner. The program itself is not friendly and easy to use. Possibly, it appears unfriendly because it is complex, powerful and with many good features. The author describes and explains the complex concepts in a clear manner with good examples.
For users who are familiar with previous versions of PSpice that used Schematic to enter a circuit and start an analysis, the book provides direction on how to switch over and employ Capture.
The only reason for only 4 stars is that some of the graphics are poor quality. It is not uncommon to find black text on dark grey background which is difficul to read. Color graphics would be nice, but it may be too costly.
Anyone starting with Capture and PSpice will benefit from this book. It certainly is better than the documents provided by the program originator.
