Paul Pickering has over 35 years of engineering and marketing experience, including stints in automotive electronics, precision analog, power semiconductors, flight simulation and robotics.

Given the role of electronics in engineering and technology, laboratory experiments and circuit simulation IT tools are used in their teaching in several academic institutions. This paper discusses ...

Part 3 examines how a varying power supply voltage effects the output of a basic op amp circuit. Part 4 offers a cautionary tale on using op amp macromodels – what you see in your simulation is ...

Part 4 offers a cautionary tale on using op amp macromodels – what you see in your simulation is definitely not always what you get.] In 2008, Kendall Castor-Perry began an extended investigation into ...

This very sturdy-looking circuit provides an easy way to configure the op-amp for testing in inverting, non-inverting, and transimpedance mode, selecting from a range of feedback resistors, and ...

SPICE is an acronym for Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis. It was originally developed at UC Berkeley in 1973 to verify transistor-level operation of a design before building the ...
