Modul week 7 Introduction to PSpice
Introduction • SPICE = Simulation Program for Integrated Circuit. • Industrial based simulation. • Same function as Multisim. PSpice is used to simulate • Analog circuit • Digital circuit • Mixed signal circuit
Types of circuit analysis • DC analysis(DC transfer curve) • Transient analysis(Output as a function of time) • AC analysis(Output as a function of frequency) • Noise analysis • Sensitivity analysis • Distortion analysis • Fourier analysis • Monte Carlo analysis
Steps in simulating a circuit Figure: The steps involved in simulating a circuit with PSpice.
Values of elements • T or Tera (= 1E12) • G or Giga (= E9) • MEG or Mega (= E6) • K or Kilo (= E3) • M or Milli (= E-3) • U or Micro (= E-6) • N or Nano (= E-9) • P or Pico (= E-12) • F of Femto (= E-15)

5.1 Basic DC Sweep Analysis DC sweep analysis • Adds more flexibility • Allow DC sources to change voltages or current. Eg: From previous simulation, 15V VDC will produce a 97.26mV Vo. But for this experiment, the input VDC is varied from 0-25V and a range of Vo is produced.
