SECTION 7-7

Simulation, Breadboarding and Prototyping

Joe Buxton, Walt Kester, James Bryant and Walt Jung

In this final section of the chapter, the practical aspects of assembling hardware for op amp and other analog functions are brought to play. Various experimental techniques are useful towards verifying the integrity of a design. These include electronic analog circuit simulation programs, to be used with (but not to the exclusion of) the allied lab processes of breadboarding and prototyping.

Analog Circuit Simulation

In the past decade, circuit simulation has taken on an increasingly important role within analog circuit design. The most popular simulation tool for this is SPICE, which is available in multiple forms for various computer ...
