Colin May taught analog electronics at University of Westminster from 1970. He collaborated with Tatum Labs Inc. to develop models and write the two volume ‘Handbook for Component Modeling and Analog Circuit Simulation’ for their simulation programme ECA-2. He also collaborated with ‘Those Engineers’ of Birkbeck Road, London, UK to create teaching material for their simulation programme ‘SpiceAge.’
This book shows readers how to learn analog electronics by simulating circuits. Readers will be enabled to master basic electric circuit analysis, as an essential component of their professional education. The author’s approach enables readers to learn theory as needed, then immediately apply it to the simulation of circuits based on that theory, while using the resulting tables, graphs and waveforms to gain a deeper insight into the theory, as well as where theory and practice diverge!
Integrates the basics of analog electronics with LTSpice, in an interactive, stimulating learning experience;
Emphasizes simulations that facilitate development of practical skills for designing and building analog circuits;
Offers download of 300 working simulations and twice that number of simulation results.
