Textbook for undergraduate students. Requires no prior knowledge of the SPICE simulator. A course on basic circuits is a prerequisite or co-requisite. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

From the Publisher:

This revision of this widely used text is designed to introduce the SPICE simulator -- with a minimum amount of time and effort -- to the EE- curriculum at the sophomore or junior level. It requires no prior knowledge about the SPICE simulator -- and can be used as a text for a lab course on SPICE or with basic circuits or electronic circuits texts.

From the Back Cover:

Computer-aided analysis and design is fast becoming a required skill for today's electronic engineers/technicians. SPICE — a very popular software for analyzing electrical and electronic circuits — is often the tool of choice. However, because it runs on a mainframe or VAX-class computer, it must usually be learned at the PC level using the PSpice simulator (which is similar to the University of California (UC) Berkeley SPICE). This volume provides a time-and-effort-saving introduction to the PSpice simulator as a requisite for moving on to SPICE. Introduces SPICE simulation; discusses source and element modeling; presents and explains SPICE commands; considers DC and AC circuits; outlines semiconductor devices modeling; explores digital logic circuits; and considers difficulties. For those who need a relatively quick and easy introduction to the PSpice simulator as a requisite for moving on to SPICE.
