LABORATORY : 2 TITLE: Introduction of PSPICE Objective : 1. To understand and apply the concept of DC analysis 2.

Measure the DC voltage and current Tools : PSPICE

Procedures 1. MEASURING DC VOLTAGE IN A CIRCUIT a. Measure DC voltage using VPRINT1 and VPRINT2 Draw the schematic below. Place VPRINT1 and VPRINT2 to measure dc voltage drop across the resistors and wire up. Set the value DC of all VPRINT by key in the nodes where the measurement is to take place.

Figure 1

Go to Analysis Setup; enable DC Sweep (tick). Click at DC Sweep and fill in the value as below: Name: V1 Start value: 0V End value:20V Increment:20V Enable Voltage source and linear

Save the schematic (as VPRINT) AND run simulation. Examine output file: Analysis > Examine output Get the voltage of VR1, VR2, VR3 and VR4.
