PSpice v17.2 for Analog Circuits

Avoid the PSpice simulation rollercoaster

PSpice netlist error. ORPSIM error, no part found in subcircuit…If you have worked with PSpice you know how frustrating it can be get a simulation to just work. After a lot of searching forums, watching YouTube videos and out-dated tutorials, you finally get the problem solved. You think to yourself “All that just to get a Bode plot?? Come on.” Well you won’t have to experience that rollercoaster again.

Much better than reading a book

by Jose Antonio Cordova

"Simple and easy way to learn Pspice. Much better than reading a book"
by Randall G.

This is MUCH better!

by Randall G.

"Great match. I have used SPICE to solve heat transfer problems before ('80s), but the modeling was by card image. This is MUCH better! The hints and tips are a great addition."
by Victor Ferran

Kirsch is very clear in his explanations.

by Victor Ferran

"High Level course that was good for walking through enough topics to wet your appetite. Kirsch is very clear in his explanations. It was very helpful to watch someone that had years of experience walk through the exercises. So much more to learn, thanks Kirsch!"
