• Good and Bad

  Very unhappy with this text versus the summary provided on Amazon's site. First, there was no PSPICE-CD included with the text (haven't found the free version from Cadence's website yet either...). Second, text only shows how to operate the Cadence PSPICE program, it isn't a book for anyone who already knows something about SPICE.
  
  There is only minimal reference to creating models (assumes all you want to do is download a manufacturer's model), and has no reference to text-editing netlists, models, subcircuits, etc.
  
  The book's first-line of the preface says it all, "This manual is designed to show students how to use the PSpice circuit simulation program from Orcad..."
  
  I was searching for a book showing how to text-edit .op, .tran, .noise, etc commands, plus I want to mathematically manipulate currents and voltages based on other nets in equation form. Commands like **bi 2 0 VALUE = {I(V1)*"R(V(2))"}** don't even show up as a possibility in this text.
  
  If you're a newbie and want to learn the specific Cadence PSPICE schematic-capture program, then this text is probably adequate (note: I agree with others' complaints about "black-on-black" examples are VERY difficult to read). If you're looking for anything SPICE-related (not program-related), look elsewhere. This will probably be the first thing I've ever had to send back to Amazon.

• Very good bok

  Very good book, full of clear explanations. If you do not have previous experience with Schematic Capture softwares, this book makes it easy to learn how to do it.

• Excellent

  Fair price; quick delivery. Good communication from the vendor. Able to track the entire way

• The Best Book Available for PSpice

  During my undergraduate school, I used this book extensively. It gave me a solid advantage over other students. Other students would still be struggling, after a week of a lab, to do its related simulations, while I used to finish my work on the same day we had the lab. If you want to learn how to use PSpice, this is the book. Its style to teach by example and all the examples are on the CD along with a student version of the PSpice which is good enough for learning purposes.

• Outstanding

  The item was sent very quickly. Excellent condition. Kudos to all who were involved.
