LABORATORY EXERCISE 1
Familiarization with PSpice
Objective
1. To gain working knowledge and to explore the features of PSpice the Simulation
software.
EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
2. The following will be required in this lab eexperiment:
- Lab PC
- PSpice Software version 9.1
Introduction to PSpice
3. PSpice is an acronym for Personal Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit
Emphasis. Generally an electronic simulation program uses mathematical models to
replicate the behavior of actual electronic devices or circuits. Simulation software allows
for modeling of circuit operation and is an invaluable analysis tool. Simulating a circuit’s
behavior before actually building it can greatly improve design efficiency by making faulty
designs known as such, and providing insight into the behavior of electronics circuit
designs. As the student go along in he course the use of PSpice will become an essential
tool for analysis, design, simulation and testing prior to circuit implementation on the
breadboard and subsequently building of a Prototype.
4. PSpice is a powerful tool that allows you quickly obtain the complete list of voltages and
currents for any given circuit. Moreover it can be used to display simulation results
graphically.The graphing tool is really powerful and has many variations which will be
helpful n understanding component characteristics, behaviour and performance under
various stimulations and circuit conditions. The student is encouraged to explore various
features of PSPICEand master its use.
5. During this lab the student wil laso be using a documen that has been dveloped by
University of Pennsylvania titled PSpice: A Brief Primer . This is available as as a
Adobe PDF file on your PC; in case you are unaable o find it please contact the Lab
Assistant, the course TA or your instructor. Please read this document throughly
especially it section 1 before proceeding ahead. The TA / Instructor will be conducting a
Viva Voce during the lab and grade you accodingly.
6. The students are required to fill in various simulation results and graph that were
generated during the corse of this lab as attachments to the LAB REPORT which will be
submitted before start of next Lab.

EXERCISE 1

7. The first part of the lab is briefly given below:

a. Creating and Simulating a Circuit in PSpice. For this exercise refer to

section 2.1.1 – 2.1.3 and 2.2.1 of the primer. Using the tutorial provided as a guide, simulate the following circuit (figure =1) in PSpice and list down the required values mentioned.

Figure 1

b. Determine the voltage and current across the resistor R1.

VR1 = ___________________

IR1 = ____________________

c. Determine voltage and current across the capacitor C

VC1= __________________

IC1= ___________________

d. Determine the voltage and current across the resistor R2.

VR2= ____________________

IR2= _____________________

EXERCISE 3

9. This part will low the students to use transient analysis for dynamic simulations.

a. Transient Analysis. Transient Analysis involves simulating the circuit while

the input voltage is varied. For this exercise refer to section 2.4.1 of the primer guide, and perform transient analysis on the following circuit (Figure-3).

Figure 3

b. Enter the values of V1 and I1 as given in Figure 3. Use the transient analysis tool to create a graph of Vc and Ic versus time. Save the graph and get printout. Can you get a plot of Vin versus Vc?

c. AC Sweep Analysis AC Sweep Analysis involves simulation of the circuit

while the sinusoidal frequency of the AC voltage input is varied over a certain range.. For this exercise refer to section 2.4.2 of the primer guide, and perform the Sweep analysis for the circuit given below (Figure-4).

Figure 4

d. For the exercise use a start frequency of 0.1 KHz, end frequency of 11 KHz and 11 points per decade. Use the transient analysis tool to create a graph Magnitude and Phase versus Frequency plots (consult sec 2.4.2 of the PSpice

Proper) , save the plot and get a printout.

e. From the graphs determine frequency at the 3dB point. Also find the attenuation of Vout (in dBs) at 10Hz.

Frequency= _____________________

Attenuation=_____________________

NOTE:

Make sure your work is saved and you show the instructor or the TA the

actual simulations that you have performed.

Lab report is due before the start of next lab
