Onsite Classes


If you have 4 or more
students, we  provide cost-effective Onsite Classes. The standard class is 2 days long. We cover all of the material that OrCAD covers in 3 days, and more (according to our customers that have taken both classes). There is an optional 3rd day, which has a flexible format. Two popular items, listed below, is material that we can cover for you: ramp-up on your design circuits, or more in-depth coverage of power supply modeling and simulation issues.


Subject matter for optional 3rd day Content
Hands-on Customer Application Students bring one or two projects that they are working on. Parts of the design will be entered, simulated, and analyzed. As problems or issues arise, the instructor will provide assistance related to modeling, spice problems, and the most productive approach to using simulation as a tool to assist the student.
Power Supply Modeling and Simulation Many users of PSpice are doing Power Supply Design. This extra day is devoted to issues and techniques of using PSpice for the design of power supplies. Some of the subjects included are PWM controller models, Transformer modeling, overcoming convergence errors, and how to use some of the more advanced simulator options to maximize the amount of results generated. Example topologies are provided for a hands-on lab, with ready to simulate designs.
Introduction to Modeling In one day, we cover approaches to adding parasitics to you passive components, assigning tolerances, assymetrical and user definable tolerance distributions, temperature effects, modeling transformers, generating a custom user library with symbols, and applying these techniques to your designs.

Special Offer for Onsite Classes during 2008

TWO DAY ONSITE CLASS : Train up to 15 people for the price of 5!
Pay for an onsite class for 5 students at the regular price ($1795 * 5 = $8,975, plus travel expenses) and train up to 15 total students at no additional charge!  Order must be placed on or before June 30, 2008.Training can be scheduled at your convenience.

Optional Day 3 for Onsite Class: Add an extra day to an on-site class for $4475.00
You'll learn more, know how to apply spice simulations to your application, and will save countless hours of "exploratory" application of Spice.

Interface Technologies can also provide customized classes of one to three days in length that stress specific areas of customer interest. Call Dan Waterloo at (708) 366-4411 to discuss your requirements.
