Passive Circuit Analysis with LTspice® An Interactive Approach

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!

Introduction.- DC Circuits.- Passive AC circuits.- Diodes.- FET structure and operation.- MOSFET.- Ebers-Moll model.- Low Frequency Bipolar Amplifiers.- High Frequency and pulse circuits.- OpAmps.- Introduction to power electronics.- Mixed Mode.- Design examples.

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.’
