TextEdit

Schematics is a design entry program you need to prepare your circuit for simulation. This means:

•Placing and connecting part symbols,

•Defining component values and other attributes,

•Defining input waveforms,

•Enabling one or more analyses, and

•Marking the points in the circuit where you want to see results.

Schematics is also the control point for running other programs used in the simulation design flow.

使用者利用此功能 , 可以建立一個所需要的電路檔案 , 本功能是 Pspice A/D 軟體的人機介面 , 電路檔案呼叫 Pspice A/D 分析 , 利用 Probe 觀看模擬分析結果的圖形 .

PSpice A/D

此功能是 Pspice A/D 軟體的核心部份 , 有了此功能才會有其他功能的出現 , 利用前面 Schematics 功能產生的電路檔案 , 輸入本軟體中 , 進行模擬分析 .

The Parts utility is a model extractor that generates model definitions for PSpice to use during simulation.

雖然 Pspice A/D 軟體提供了大量元件符號資料庫 , 但是使用者可能希望建立自己的元件庫 , 以提供自己的電路使用 , 所以可以利用本功能來建立自己的元件庫 . 但是評估版只能設計二極體元件 , 所以並不適合使用 .

Probe is a graphical results analyzer. When PSpice completes the simulation, Probe plots the waveform results so you can visualize the circuit’s behavior and determine the validity of your design.

觀察分析結果

The Stimulus Editor is a graphical input waveform editor that lets you define the shape of time-based signals used to test your circuit’s response during simulation.

可以產生電路訊號 , 提供電路使用 , 但是評估版只能提供類比訊號的正弦波和數位訊號的時脈 .

DC Analysis

(Bias Point Detail)

Under Pspice, the steady state (DC) component is known as the bias point solution and is always calculated first. Since bias-point values do not change with the passage of time, they can be displayed as simple numeric constants.

Transfer Function

The transfer function is the ratio of output over input.

Change one or more DC voltage source at the same time.

The output is with respect to the source being swept.

DC Sweep

是指輸入變數在某個範圍內 , 以遞增或遞減方式 , 計算電路的直流分析 .

DC Sweep

Nested Sweep…… 巢式掃描

Sensitivity

靈敏度分析是指電路中每一個電路元件參數變化時 , 對輸出電壓變數或輸出電流變數的影響情況 .分析結果是以文字輸出檔輸出 . (.out file)

Sensitivity is a tolerance problem. For example, we might use DC sensitivity analysis to tell us how each resistor in the circuit affects the Q point voltage. If we find that the Q point is very sensitive to a particular resistor, we might want to reduce that resistor’s tolerance from 10% to 1%.

AC Sweep Analysis determines the output with respect to the frequency.

AC Sweep Analysis

交流分析是利用訊號源做頻率變化 , 測量電路性能的改變情況 .

Noise AnalysisNoise function generates a noise density spectrum for each device over a range of frequencies and performs an RMS sum at the specified output node. (.out file)

Transient Analysis(Transient)

Transient analysis determines the output with respect to time.

Fourier AnalysisFourier analysis is the mathematical technique for switching between the time and frequency domains. (.out file)

Temperature Analysis

Determines the output affected from the tolerances of the components.

Monte Carlo/Worst Case Analysis

Monte Carlo AnalysisDuring a Monte Carlo analysis, Pspice performs several runs of a DC, AC, or transient analysis, each time varying component values randomly within the tolerance range. Worst Case AnalysisWorst Case Analysis does not use random variations in several runs of a DC, AC, or transient analysis, each time varying component values within the tolerance range.

Parametric Analysis
