    Rajasekaran Puthiyavapillai
    This document provides an overview of the PSPICE circuit simulation software. PSPICE allows users to design and test analog circuits virtually through its library of standard components and analysis features. It describes the types of analyses available in PSPICE including DC, transient, AC, and noise analyses. The document also outlines the basic file structure of a PSPICE project and discusses topics such as subcircuits, the design cache, hierarchical design, and getting started with a new simulation.

    PSPICE Tutorial

    Introduction
    SPICE (Simulation Program for Integrated Circuits Emphasis) is a general purpose analog circuit simulator that is used to verify circuit designs and to predict the circuit behavior. PSpice is a PC version of SPICE and HSpice is a version that runs on workstations and larger computers.

    PSpice has analog and digital libraries of standard components (such as NAND, NOR, flip-flops, and other digital gates, op amps, etc) which makes it a useful tool for a wide range of analog and digital applications.

    Types of Analysis
    Non-linear DC analysis Non-linear transient analysis Linear AC Analysis Noise analysis Sensitivity analysis Distortion analysis Fourier analysis Monte Carlo Analysis

    Circuit Components available


    Independent and dependent voltage and current sources Resistors Capacitors Inductors Mutual inductors Transmission lines Operational amplifiers Switches Diodes Bipolar transistors MOS transistors JFET MESFET Digital gates

    Terminologies
    Subcircuit: A subcircuit allows you to define a collection of elements as a subcircuit (e.g. an operational amplifier) and to insert this description into the overall circuit. EDIF: Electronic Design Interchange Format, a standard published by EIA. Usually used for netlists.

    File structure PSPICE (Capture)


    Input file for PSpice that has the file type .CIR

    When a circuit is simulated .OUT is generated *.DAT file is by default a binary file to see the data *.LIB files where the details of complex parts are saved Additional files
    *.SCH (the schematic data, itself) *.ALS (alias files) *.NET (network connection files)

    Libraries
    These are files that contain reusable part data. They can be custom or default ones Some of the libraries available in the Evaluation version of PSPICE are:
    abm.slb for special functions like square root and multipliers analog.slb for analog components like resistors and capacitors breakout.slb for pots connect.slb, .plb for connectors eval.slb, .plb for semiconductor, digital devices, switches port.slb for grounds, high/low digital ports special.slb for ammeters, viewpoints source.slb for various analog and digital sources

    Parts
    Part is a basic building block which may represent
    One or more physical element Function Simulation model When a part is placed for first time its entry is done in Design Cache
    What is Design Cache????... Go and Find Out Yourself

    Design Structure
    Flat Design
    Small designs All pages in same schematic Off Page connectors are used Figure shows design hierarchy

    Contd
    Hierarchical Design
    Much complex designs Symbols are created called Hierarchical Blocks

    Things to remember before starting


    PSpice is not case sensitive All element names must be unique There must be a node designated "0" (Zero). This is the reference node against which all voltages are calculated. If any change is made in circuit make sure you create netlist again before simulating it.

    Getting Started
    File New Project Analog or Mixed A/D

    Make sure to choose Analog or Mixed A/D and proper location fo

    Next comes following window

    Make sure you select Create a blank project

    This is how a typical Schematic Window will look like

    Now start placing components and connecting them (this part is quite similar to what you have done in last semesters lab)
    Add a library as per the requirement for eg. here analog library has been added

    After completing the circuit save it and run it. Plot appropriate waveform by probing on circuit.

    Design Example
    Take example of a high pass filter (RC) First we will follow initial steps of creating a new project Now placing the components.

    Place the components

    Place the source and ground

    Add Probe
    Probes

    Creating new simulation profile


    Go to PSPICE New Simulation Profile Give a name to profile and create

    AC Analysis
    We can choose any of the analysis and options Here AC analysis is done to see operation of filter

    Run
    Go to PSPICE Run Another waveform window will come up

    See this window to keep track of current simulation

    Result

    Happy Learning
