Course Description
The Analog Simulation with PSpice® course starts with the basics of entering a design for simulation and builds a solid foundation in the overall use of the software. You run DC bias simulations, transient analysis simulations, and sweep simulations, allowing you to sweep component values, operating frequencies, or global parameters. You also have the opportunity to simulate several types of analog circuits, transformers, digital circuits, and mixed analog and digital circuits.
Learning Objectives
After completing this course, you will be able to:
- Enter a design for simulation
- Run DC bias, DC sweep, and AC sweep analyses
- Edit a stimulus and run a parametric analysis
- Edit models, run a Monte Carlo analysis, create subcircuits, and create parts for simulation from a model or subcircuit definition
- Create linear and nonlinear transformers, and perform temperature, worst-case, and noise analysis
- Apply analog behavioral modeling and run digital and mixed analog and digital simulation
