Schaum's Outline of Electronic Devices and Circuits is an innovative new version of this popular outline. This
problem-solved approach text is used worldwide in undergraduate courses: usually called Introduction to Electronics
or Principles of Electronics, and taken as a Junior level course in Engineering Departments. This book will function
as a traditional problem-solved text, while providing an interface with Pspice (PS), the industry standard computing
program used by engineers and students of engineering to produce schematic diagrams and solve problems associated
with electronic devices and circuit designs. Much of the work students and engineers do in this area is now calculated
using (Pspice), and the use of (PSpice) will be ubiquitous in the near future. Pspice is a commercial simulation
program built by Microsim around the Spice solution engine. As a marketing tool, Microsim released to public domain
evaluation versions of the commercial product that can handle circuits with a limited number of elements and nodes.
In support of this revised edition of Schaum's Outline of Electronic Devices and Circuits, the author, through
the Department of Engineering at the University of Kentucky, will maintain a free download site where any user
can obtain copies of the evaluation version of PSpice and the netlist code for all PSpice problems in the revised
book. Problems can be solved with or without PSpice, but this feature will definitely increase student/instructor
interest in, and the continued viability of the outline.
