LABORATORY EXERCISE – 2
Simulation Using Advanced Features of PSpice
Objective
1. To simulate slighly more advanced circuits, such as the transformers, various op-amp
circuits and a peak detector, using the PSpice simulation software. This familiarize the
student with some more features of PSpice.
EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
2. The following will be required in this lab eexperiment:
- Lab PC
- PSpice Software version 9.1
Introduction to PSpice
3. In the last Laboratory exercise the simulation software was used to study the behavious
of circuits with passive components. This experiment leads into some active components
whose simulation will give confidence to the student in handling more complex circuits
later on.
4. By now the students have learned that Spice is a powerful tool that allows one to 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. It is strongly suggested that during this lab the student must read and use the document
developed 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 to find it please contact the
Lab Assistant, the course TA or your instructor. The students are urged to read the
primer carefully and learn to perform the experiment independently with as little
help from the teaching staff. 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 Transformer Circuit in PSpice. For this

exercise refer to section 3.1 of the primer. Using the tutorial provided as a guide, perform transient analysis on the following circuit and save the results.

Figure 1

EXERCISE 2

8. The second part of the lab is uses operational amplifier (OP Amp) as a circuit amplifier.

This part is the simulation of an active filter using OP Amp

a. Simulation of a filter circuit using Op-Amp. Electronic filters

are electronic circuits which perform signal processing functions, specifically to remove unwanted frequency components from the signal, to enhance wanted ones, or both. For this exercise refer to section 3.2 of the primer.

EXERCISE 3

9. This part will low the students to use parametric sweep for dynamic simulations.

a. Rectifier Circuit (peak detector) and the use of a parametric sweep.

A peak detector circuit, like the name suggests, is used to clamp voltage at a certain peak value. For this exercise refer to section 3.4 and 3.4.2 of the primer.
