Simulation Program For Integrated Circuits Emphasis

SPICE is a circuit simulator used to verify circuit designs and predict behavior. PSpice is the PC version of SPICE developed by Cadence. It allows users to draw a circuit in Capture, simulate it in PSpice using device models, and analyze the behavior in Probe. PSpice supports various analyses including DC, transient, AC, and Fourier analysis. It includes models for common circuit elements and can simulate hierarchical and flat circuit designs.

 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
 The name orcad is reflecting the company
oregon+CAD.
 1.Draw an electronic or electrical circuit on
the computer using Capture.
2.Simulate it with PSpice using specific
models for your devices.
3.Analyse its behaviour with Probe, which
can produce a range of plots.
 Historically this was a separate application

but it is now integrated with PSpice.


 Non-linear DC analysis(steady state dc)
 Non-linear transient analysis (sinusoidal
sources)
 Linear AC (circuits with sources of varying
frequencies)
 Noise analysis
 Sensitivity analysis
 Distortion analysis
 Fourier analysis(calculate and plot frequency
spectrum)
 Monte Carlo Analysis
 Independent and dependent voltage and current sources
 Resistors
 Capacitors
 Inductors
 Transmission lines
 Operational amplifiers
 Switches
 Diodes
 Bipolar transistors
 MOS transistors
 JFET
 MESFE
 D igital gates
T
 555
 and many other essential components.
 Toolbar for schematic window
 These are files that contain reusable part data.
 They can be custom or default ones
 Flat Design
◦ Small designs
◦ All pages in same schematic
◦ Off Page connectors are
used
◦ Figure shows design
hierarchy
 Hierarchical Design
◦ Much complex designs
◦ Symbols are created called
“Hierarchical Blocks”
 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”.
 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.
 File  New  Project  Analog or Mixed A/ D

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


 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.
After completing the circuit save it
and run it
 Take example of a high pass filter (RC)
 First we will follow initial steps of creating
a new project
 Now placing the components.
Probes
 Go to PSPICE  New Simulation Profile
Give a name to profile and create
 We can choose any of the analysis and
options
Here AC analysis is done to see
operation of filter
 Go to PSPICE  Run
Another waveform window will come up

See this window


to keep track of
current simulation
 The run time can also be adjusted to see the
output during a particular time.
 Settings for DC analysis
 Settings for ac analysis
 The frequency response of a circuit is helpful
to understand its behaviour when it is
driven with simple sine waves.
Settings for a transient simulation.
