The George Washington UniversitySchool of Engineering and Applied ScienceDepartment of Electrical and Computer Engineering Circuit Design Verification Using PSpice (Cadence/OrCAD) Outline Introduction General Process Basic Example – Half-Wave Rectifier Advanced Example – Demodulation Introduction SPICE is a general purpose circuit simulation language that performs non-linear DC, transient and linear steady state AC analysis. SPICE models: Linear circuit elements of resistance, capacitance, inductance, independent and dependent current and voltage sources Four of the most common nonlinear semiconductor devices (Diodes, BJTs, JFETs and MOSFETs) Other useful circuit elements including transmission lines and mutual inductance Cadence PSpice OrCAD bought MicroSim and its PSpice products in January 1998. Cadence bought OrCAD in August 1999. General Process 1. Design your circuit 2. Draw your circuit 3. Specify your analysis 4. Run the simulation 5. Analyze the output 6. Go back to 1, 2 or 3 as needed Starting Cadence Starting Cadence Start a New Project Select Project Options Project Types Only two types are of immediate concern Analog or Mixed A/D The project is meant for simulation. This is for design verification. Schematic This option is used for PCB design. It is only used to generate a netlist. We will use this for your Board Fabrication Details. Create a Blank Project Schematic Place Parts Placing Parts Changing Values Completed Half-Wave Rectifier Create a Simulation Profile Set the Simulation Parameters Simulation Types DC / OpPoint – All AC sources are zeroed (Shorted/Opened) Transient – View with respect to time DC Sweep – View the response to a range of DC inputs AC Sweep – View the response to a range of frequencies Run the Simulation Press the blue arrow in the toolbar on the top.
