Electronics Workbench has enabled a very wide variety of circuits to be designed on screen, tested and modified before being committed to a PCB layout. This book provides a collection of circuit modules which can be tried and tested using the enclosed CD-ROM in conjunction with Electronics Workbench Version 5. The book and CD-Rom guide the reader from the simplest circuits using bulbs and batteries to advanced systems using integrated circuits. A systems approach is employed and you are invited to experiment on screen to gain insight into the function of components and how they interact. Theory is tested by questions at the end of each chapter. The free CD ROM includes a demo version of Electronics Workbench and all the circuits in the book, fifteen of which can be run within the demo. Max Horsey is the Head of Electronics at Radley College and is the author of numerous articles for Everyday Electronics, Radio & Electronics Constructor and Electronics and Beyond. He has also written a book entitled Electronics in Practice, published in 1986. 7 includes Electronics Workbench CD-ROM with circuits constructed using this exciting software 7 useful projects to build 7 learn how to use Electronics Workbench for real, as well as take advantage of the circuit modules that are described and realised in this book

This exciting new lab manual brings the real-time circuit simulation and testing capabilities of the STUDENT EDITION OF ELECTRONICS WORKBENCH (EWB) to your electronics lab. Written by a recognized authority on SPICE technology, this exciting new lab manual takes full advantage of ELECTRONIC WORKBENCH'S easy-to-use, visual schematic capture interface and virtual test bench equipment. The 15 design projects in this book start users off with circuit model specifications and then walks them through the process of finding component values. Using ELECTRONIC WORKBENCH, users learn how to verify circuit designs, investigate how robust or sensitive a circuit is to component variation, and explore the design effects of varying component values on circuit performance, A volume in the Brooks/Cole Thomson Learning BookWare Companion SeriesO, it acts as a useful lab supplement to any electronics text."

Whether electronics is a hobby or an avocation, this resource covers everything you need to know to create a personal electronic workbench. The author includes essential yet difficult to find information such as whether to buy or build test equipment, how to solder, how to make circuit boards, how to troubleshoot, how to test components and systems, and how to build your own test equipment.

Electronic Workbench (EWB) software has forever changed the face of electronics. Including mixed-mode circuit simulation, schematic capture and PCB layout software, it provides a virtual bench for learning, experimenting with, and simulating electronics, including mixed-mode circuit simulation, schematic capture and PCB layout software. Mastering Electronics Workbench, by John Adams, is your guide to successfully using Electronics Workbench. You get detailed explanations of each component, instrument, and function. You learn how to install the program, how to use it to create circuit simulations and analysis models, and how to make complex designs. This guide is also packed with complete projects for hobbyists, technicians and engineers, each designed to help you learn the complexities of the program. The book covers menu options; creating a circuit - the drag and drop interface; the 2 minute circuit - making a simple circuit; advanced circuit simulations; practical uses For EWB; EWB layout software; and much more.

Explains to young readers the essentials of how a computer works and includes twenty entertaining and educational projects that demonstrate basic concepts with the use of the Fun with Electronics workbench kit.

The first book on the market that teaches how to use the Electronics Workbench MultiSIM software, this most in-depth manual contains step-by-step screen captures that show how to create a circuit, how to run different analyses, and how to obtain the results from those analyses, allowing the user to self-teach. It contains topics that will be useful throughout the users' careers, making it an invaluable reference work.It features simulations of the same circuits using both the MultiSIM Virtual Lab and SPICE analyses to show users the connection between circuit operation, lab measurements, and SPICE simulation results.An invaluable handbook and reference guide for electrical engineers, electronics engineers, circuit simulation specialists, computer engineers, power electronics employees, analog electronics employees, and project managers.

Build your electronics workbench—and begin creating fun electronics projects right away Packed with hundreds of diagrams and photographs, this book provides step-by-step instructions for experiments that show you how electronic components work, advice on choosing and using essential tools, and exciting projects you can build in 30 minutes or less. You'll get charged up as you transform theory into action in chapter after chapter! Circuit basics — learn what voltage is, where current flows (and doesn't flow), and how power is used in a circuit Critical components — discover how resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, and transistors control and shape electric current Versatile chips — find out how to use analog and digital integrated circuits to build complex projects with just a few parts Analyze circuits — understand the rules that govern current and voltage and learn how to apply them Safety tips — get a thorough grounding in how to protect yourself—and your electronics—from harm P.S. If you think this book seems familiar, you’re probably right. The Dummies team updated the cover and design to give the book a fresh feel, but the content is the same as the previous release of Electronics For Dummies (9781119117971). The book you see here shouldn’t be considered a new or updated product. But if you’re in the mood to learn something new, check out some of our other books. We’re always writing about new topics!

Fred's explanations are clear, readable, and friendly. Each project comes with a complete discussion of circuit theory, circuit board and parts placement layouts, excellent hints on building and testing each circuit, suggestions for packaging, and a complete parts list. Few things are as satisfying as when an electronic device you built yourself comes to life when you flip the "On" switch. You're guaranteed success with this essential book on your workbench!
