RECTIFIERS, DIODE CLIPPER,POWER SUPPLY, MULTIVIBRATORS, TIMERS & VOLTAGE DOUBLER

CLO 2: Apply various types of analysis and tools provided in the simulation package and analyze the simulation results to ascertain its compliance to the electronic circuit theory.

CLO 3: Draw the various analogue, digital and mixed-signal circuit schematics and simulate the circuits using a particular simulation package.

The Transient Analysis is used to look at waveforms versus time e.g.; output from oscilloscope. The analysis must be set for time-based calculations to know how the waveform changes with time.

Transient analysis is used in simulating circuits such as rectifiers, amplifiers, diode clippers, regulator,etc.

Click analysis setup window or Click the Transient box

Print Step : indicates the time interval between values that are to be printed to the output file. Final Time : the length of time the analysis will continue.

No-Print Delay: the value of the delay time between the beginning of the analysis and the start of the traces. *Usually zero Step Ceiling : allows a ceiling smaller or larger than the print interval to be put on the internal time step. *1/50 x Final Time

When the setup is completed , click OK in each window . Run the Pspice analysis (Analysis\Simulate) or click

There are TWO ways to view the input or output waveform from simulated circuit;
1. Using BUBBLE 2. Using MARKER

For example; draw the circuit below

Set: VAMPL= 20V, FREQ=1000 Print Step=0.5ms, Final Time=40ms

Place BUBBLE on the circuit:

Label each BUBBLE. Run the analysis.

Click OK, we should get:

Place MARKER on the circuit:

Run the analysis.

Choose TRACE from ADD TRACE menu. for this circuit : V(Vout) and V(Vin).

Click OK, we should get:

Using circuit below:

Place supply symbol in the circuit:

VSIN

Place voltage marker in the circuit:

MARKER

Double-click the supply symbol, we will get:

Save the circuit then RUN the simulation. Label your finding.

Using circuit below:

Place VPWL as source.

Double-click PWL symbol to set input values as given below:

Place BUBBLE or MARKER to view i/p and o/p waveform. Save the schematic then Run the simulation. Label your waveforms.

1. AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT-Small Signal Draw the circuit below

Set: Print Step =10us, No-Print Delay=0 If the analysis take 3 cycle to end,calculate Final Time. Calculate Step Ceiling. Simulate the circuit.

Get the V(IN) and V(OUT) waves separately.

Calculate the voltage gain, Av.

ANSWER:

2. AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT-Large Signal Draw the circuit below; get the gain,Av.

2. DIODE CIRCUIT Draw the circuit below; get the o/p.

Place VPULSE as source in the circuit below,

Variable DC AC V1 V2 TD TR TF Value 0 1 0 10 0 100m 100m

PW
PER

2S

Double-click VPULSE symbol to set these value:

1.

V1 is the value when the pulse is not "on." This can be zero or negative as required. 2. V2 is the value when the pulse is fully turned on. This can also be zero or negative. Obviously, V1 and V2 should not be equal. 3. Td is the time delay. The default units are seconds. The time delay may be zero, but not negative. 4. Tr is the rise time of the pulse. PSpice allows this value to be zero, but zero rise time may cause convergence problems in some transient analysis simulations.

Double-click VPULSE symbol to set these value:

5. 6. 7.

Tf is the fall time in seconds of the pulse. See note on Tr before setting this to zero. PW is the pulse width. This is the time in seconds that the pulse is fully on. PER is the total time in seconds of the pulse. Be aware that the pulse repeats if the simulation time exceeds the period.
