ABSTRACT

PSpice® standard is a computer program dedicated to process modeling in electrical circuits and, for the present, is a trademark of Cadence Company. The program packet is distributed under a few versions and names, mainly Microsim Design Lab and Orcad Family. The abbreviation SPICE means Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis. Free or shareware versions of Spice are available. The common parts of all the versions are these modules:

Simulation Manager• Schematic editor• PSpice AD•

On the basis of the circuits considered in the previous chapters, in particular, how to use these programs to create and manage circuit drawings, set up and run simulations, and evaluate simulation test results will be shown. The results of the simulations will be compared with those obtained from the Mathematica® models.
