Op-amp Design Software

OpAmpPro is an analog interface design and analysis program that runs from a PC in Windows. The user enters the input and output voltage range, reference voltage (often the supply voltage), and supply voltage (single supply are OK). The PC solves the transfer equation to obtain the correct circuit functions, select and display a circuit schematic, and offers many analysis aids. OpAmpPro accepts resistor tolerances and display the resulting worst-case transfer functions; a special mode enables the calculation of adjustment resistor values. The PC scales the selected resistors as directed to obtain low current or high frequency operation.

The analysis mode enable the user to enter the circuit performance specifications, and based on those entries, OpAmpPro selects a group of viable op amps, enable the selection of the optimum op amp, and calculates the circuit errors (selected op amp included in error calculations).

OpAmpPro has an embedded SPICE capability that lets the user display the transient and Bode response. OpAmpPro circuit work correctly the first time because boundary conditions are always considered, the program uses real parts in the calculations, and the program flags illegal entries immediately.

Visual Parsic V3.4X for PIC Microcontroller

PIC microcontroller are excellently qualified to reduce complex wiring's to a minimum. Where in the past complete euro-boards were necessary for extensive wiring's nowadays a PIC-microcontroller already suffices with a couple of periphery components. But such a microcontroller wants to be programmed, that means the following hurdles have to be settled before:

• Study Datasheets

• Perhaps dealing with language C

• Learning assembler commands

Somebody who never head to deal with such "small things" will give up hope latest at the assembler programming. Parsic give the "normal" electronics technician a get in. Something more unusual shall be programmed - no problem Parsic has got the required function to tie INCLUDE files. For the programming with Parsic you don't need any experience in the programming of PIC's but basic knowledge in the digital electronics should be available.

What you must know using Parsic:

• Which microcontroller I want to use

• The clock frequency

• The oscillator type (RC, XT, HS, LP)
