OrCAD PSpice Tutorial

Opening of OrCAD PSpice 9.1:Steps: 1. Go to start button All programs OrCAD Release 9.1 Capture CIS

Or Double click on the shortcut of Capture CIS on my desktop.

2. After clicking on Capture CIS a window named OrCAD Capture [Session log]appears.

3. Go to File

New

Project

4. After clicking on project a window named New Project appears.

5. Here give the project name like test as well as select Analog or Mixed-Signal Circuit Wizard and click on Browse button to give the path like C: Documents and Settings\manas. Then click OK on Select Directory window and again OK on New Project window.

6. After clicking OK a window named Analog Mixed-Mode Project Wizard appeared. It is for adding symbol libraries. After adding libraries click on Finish button.

7. After clicking Finish a window named OrCAD Capture - [I-SCHEMATIC1:PAGE1)] appeared. This is just like breadboard on which components can be placed.

8. As indicated the bar at right side called Tool Palette bar from where you can get different component. Now click on the Place part button.

9. After clicking Place part button a Place part window appeared.

10. Click on Add Library button. A Browse File window appears. Then select all by clicking and draging the left button of the mouse. Then click on Open button.

11. For generating a register click on Place part button. Then go to Analog library and select R from the part list then OK.

12. For placing the resistor on breadboard just left click the mouse once on it and for deselecting press the Escape button from keyboard.

13. For generating diode click place part. Then go to Diode library and select D1N4148 from part list then OK. For placing it follow the procedure stated in step 12.

14. For generating a sinusoidal source click place part. Then go to Source library and select VSIN from part list then OK. For placing it follow the procedure stated in step 12.

15. For generating a ground click on the Place Ground button from Tool palette bar.

16. Then go to Source library and select 0 from part list then OK. For placing it follow the procedure stated in step 12.

17. For generating a wire click on the Place Wire button from tool palette bar.

18. Then connect all the component according to desired circuit diagram of a half wave rectifier.

19. For giving the value of the sourse double click on names and giving corresponding values like VOFF=0 & OK, VAMP=5v & OK, FREQ=50 & OK.

20. Then go to PSpice present on tool bar and click on New Simulation Profile.

21. Then New Simulation window appeared. Write your project name like test in the blank space of name. Then click Create.

22. After clicking Create button a window named Simulation Setting-test appears. Here set the Runto time to 100ms (i.e. multiple of time period of given source signal{1/50}). Also set the Maximu step size to 0.0001 for getting smooth curve. Then click Apply and OK.

23. For placing the port click on Voltage/ Level Marker and place it at input side and output side or at any point on circuit according your requirement.
