1. INTRODUCTION Spice Excel

2. SPICE Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis

3. SPICE is a program which can be used to simulate analog electronic circuits

4. Analog filter circuits have a parameter called a ‘Transfer Function’ which maps input to output with relation to frequency v_inv_outcircuit

5. Analog filter circuits have a parameter called a ‘Transfer Function’ which maps input to output with relation to frequency

10. A netlist is a text version of the circuit which describes the components and values for the computer to interpret and solve

18. Spice is a software program that simulates electronic circuits and outputs the circuits’ basic characteristics such as: –Voltage –Current –Resistance at any location in the circuit HSpice is a version used in Unix PSpice is a version used in Windows T-Spice simpler tool meant for smaller circuits OptiSPICE is the best because it was written by your professor. WHAT IS SPICE?

19. Create an Spice input file that describes the circuit Run Spice Inspect the output WORKFLOW

22. Using PSPICE Create a netlist file using notepad (Make sure you have a.probe) Save as “.cir” file on desktop Start up PSPICE Open the file in PSPICE Simulate “big green triangle” Use trace to bring up the plot window and pick things to show.

23. Using PSpice

24. All Programs ->Tanner EDA -> T- Spice... Other spices: likely won’t work

25. VIEWING OUTPUT

26. Using HSPICE

29. TRANSFER FUNCTION Magnitude Plot - DB vs Hz (log scale) Phase Plot - Degrees vs Hz Together these plots show the transfer function of the circuit at different frequencies For HSPICE and PSPICE use Excel to generate the plots

30. 3-terminals: Collector, Base, and Emitter Common Emitter Amplifier input = base with respect to the emitter output = collector with respect to the emitter Most commonly used configuration for transistor-based amplifiers as it produces the highest voltage, current, and power gain. Input Voltage Output Voltage BIPOLAR JUNCTION TRANSISTOR

33. SOME USEFUL NETLIST STATEMENTS Analysis Types: Operating Point (.OC) - Voltage at each node and current from voltage sources AC Analysis (.AC) - Small signal model output at different frequencies Transient (.TRAN) - Circuit output as time passes Scale factors: T : E+12 G : E+9 MEG : E+6 K : E+3 M : E-3 U: E-3 N: E-9 P: E-12 F: E-15

36. In the menu, choose Format Cells Time [s]Vout [V] 0.E+000.000 1.E-10-0.008 2.E-10-0.007 3.E-100.034 4.E-100.140 5.E-100.322 6.E-100.588 7.E-100.934 8.E-101.355 9.E-101.839 1.E-092.373 Scientific Notation: 0 decimals Number: 3 decimals FORMAT CELLS

37. Excel can split text from one column into multiple columns using the command “Text to Columns”

38. $ is used with cell coordinates, signifies leaving that coordinate constant Example: rearrange v=d/t to give d=v*t The code $

39. Other: transpose, add… Example: Make a row of data negative Copy cell with -1 value, highlight cells that you want to become negative of the current values, Edit Paste Special Multiply Positive “not yet Negative” 0.400 -0.008 -0.007 PositiveNegative 0.400-0.400 -0.0080.008 -0.0070.007 PASTE SPECIAL

40. Right-click on a data point, choose Add Trendline using type: Linear, options: display equation on chart and R squared value. BEST FIT LINE
