Opis

Analog Design and Simulation using OrCAD Capture and PSpice provides step-by-step instructions on how to use the Cadence/OrCAD family of Electronic Design Automation software for analog design and simulation. Organized into 24 chapters, each with exercises at the end, it explains how to start Capture and set up the project type and libraries for PSpice simulation. It also covers the use of AC analysis to calculate the frequency and phase response of a circuit and DC analysis to calculate the circuits bias point over a range of values. New to this edition:

• Updated to using OrCAD Release 17.2 and its new features
• Coverage of PSPICE extra features: PSpice Designer, PSpice Designer Plus, Modelling Application, PSpice Part Search Symbol Viewer, PSpice Report, Associate PSpice model, New delay functions for Behavioural Simulation Models, New Models, Support for negative values in hysteresis voltage and threshold voltage
• A new chapter on PSpice Advanced Analysis

Content includes:

• A description of a parametric sweep, which involves sweeping a parameter through a range of values, along with the use of Stimulus Editor to define transient analog and digital sources
• An examination of the failure of simulations due to circuit errors and missing or incorrect parameters
• Discussion on the use of Monte Carlo analysis to estimate the response of a circuit when device model parameters are randomly varied between specified tolerance limits according to a specified statistical distribution
• The use of worst-case analysis to identify the most critical components that will affect circuit performance,
• How to add and create PSpice models
• How the frequency-related signal and dispersion losses of transmission lines affect the signal integrity of high-speed signals via the transmission lines

Practitioners, researchers, and those interested in using the Cadence/OrCAD professional simulation software to design and analyze electronic circuits will find the information, methods, compounds, and experiments described in this book extremely useful.

• Provides both a comprehensive user guide, and a detailed overview of simulation
• Each chapter has worked and ready to try sample designs and provides, a wide range of to-do exercises
• Core skills are developed using a running case study circuit
• Covers Capture and PSpice together
