SPICE is an industry-standard software for circuit simulation. It can perform dc, ac, transient, Fourier, and Monte Carlo analyses. In addition, SPICE has device models incorporated into its package. Furthermore, there is an extensive library of device models available that a SPICE user can employ for simulation and design. PSPISE, a SPICE package by Cadence Design, has an analog behavioral model facility that allows modeling of analog circuit functions using mathematical equations, tables, and transfer functions. The above features of PSPICE are unmatched by other scientific packages.
MATLAB is primarily a tool for matrix computations. It has numerous functions for data processing and analysis. In addition, there is a rich set of plotting capabilities integrated into the MATLAB package. Furthermore, because MATLAB is also a programming environment, a user can extend the MATLAB functional capabilities by writing new modules (m-files).
This book uses the strong features of PSPICE and the powerful functions of MATLAB for electronic circuit analysis. PSPICE can be used to perform dc, ac, transient, Fourier, temperature and Monte Carlo analysis of electronic circuits with device models and subsystem sub-circuits. Then, MATLAB can be used to perform calculation of device parameters, curve fitting, numerical integration, numerical differentiation, statistical analysis, and two- and three-dimensional plots.
PSPICE has the postprocessor package PROBE, which can be used for plotting PSPICE results. In addition, PROBE also has built-in functions that can be used to do simple signal processing. However, the PROBE functions are extremely limited compared to those of MATLAB.
The goals of writing this book are to provide the reader with an introduction to PSPICE; to provide the reader with a simple, easy, hands-on introduction to MATLAB; and to demonstrate the combined power of PSPICE and MATLAB for solving electronics problems.
This book is unique. It is the first time a book is being written that provides an introduction to both MATLAB and PSPICE. In addition, it is the first time a book is being written that integrates the strong features of PSPICE and the powerful functions of MATLAB for problem solving in electronics.
The book can be used by students, professional engineers, and technicians. Section I (Chapters 1 and 2) is a basic introduction to the PSPICE software program. Section II (Chapters 3 and 4) of the book can be used as a primer for MATLAB. It will be useful to all students and professionals who want a basic introduction to MATLAB. Section III (Chapters 5,6 and 7) is for electrical and electrical engineering technology students and professionals who want to use both PSPICE and MATLAB to explore the characteristics of semiconductor devices and to apply the two software packages for analysis of electronic circuits and systems.
