1 LEARNING OUTCOMES (LO):
1. Apply the simulation results for the various types of simulation analysis
based on the electronic circuit theory and operations
(C3, PLO1)
2 OBJECTIVE :
i. Remember the concept of electronic circuit simulation and the
applications of electronic simulation packages.
ii. Generate the schematics circuit using electronic simulation package.
3 THEORY :
Electronic computer aided design covers the basic concept and fundamentals of
electronic circuit simulation. It also covers the applications of electronic packages
for electronic circuit simulation at the circuit level and the logic level.
Electronic circuit simulation uses mathematical models to replicate the behaviour
of an actual electronic device or circuit. Simulation software allows for modelling
of circuit operation and is an invaluable analysis tool. Simulating a circuit’s
behaviour before actually building it can greatly improve design efficiency by
making faulty designs known as such, and providing insight into the behaviour of
electronics circuit designs.
