6. Example 4 Use PSpice to find the Thevenin equivalent with respect to terminals a, b for the circuit shown in Fig.35 (P29).

7. To compute the short-circuit current We inserted a resistor(R2) between nodes a and b (node 0) whose value is 10e-6. (Fig. 36)

13. The short circuit current, which is the current through the voltage source V3, is 2 A.

14. To compute the open-circuit voltage We have two options: Connect a resistor between nodes a and b, in his case 10e6 (Fig. 38) Connect a capacitor between nodes a and b The capacitor behaves like an open circuit during dc analysis and, therefore, does not influence the dc Thevenin equivalent.

18. Note that node a in the original circuit (Fig. 35) is assigned as node 54 (It may be different with yours.) by PSpice, so the open-circuit voltage is 12 V.

19. The Thevenin equivalent Open-circuit voltage 12V Short-circuit current 2A Therefore, the Thevenin resistance is 12/2= 6 Ω and the Thevenin equivalent circuit is as shown in Fig. 40.

21. 4.2 Sensitivity Analysis( 灵敏度分析 ) Example 5 illustrates how to perform sensitivity analysis to predict the behavior of an unloaded voltage-divider circuit( 空载分压电路 ).

30. From the sensitivity data, we deduce that If R1 increases by 1Ω, Vo will decrease by 0.8V, that is, Vo=99.2V If R1 increases by 1%, Vo will decrease by 0.2V to 99.8V

31. If R2 increases by 1Ω, Vo will increase by 0.2V, that is, Vo=100.2V If R2 increases by 1%, Vo will increase by 0.2V to 100.2V

32. If V1 increases by 1V, Vo will increase by 0.8V, that is, Vo=100.8V If V1 increases by 1%, Vo will increase by 1V to 101V

33. Question? If R1 increases by 1Ω, R2 decreases by 1%, and V1 increases by 0.5V, Vo=?

34. Answer! We have a linear circuit, so the principle of superposition ( 叠加原理 ) applies, and therefore, Vo=100 - 0.8 - 0.2 + 0.4=99.4 V

35. 4.3 Simulating Resistor Tolerances ( 误差电阻的仿真 )

36. Example6 Replace the 100Ω resistor in the circuit in Fig.41 with a resistor having the same value but with a 10% tolerance. Use PSpice to discover the range of output voltage values that you can expect with this more realistic model of a resistor.

45. You can confirm this result using the voltage division equation for the circuit in Fig. 41 when the R2 resistor has the value 110 Ω.

48. You can confirm this result using the voltage division equation for the circuit in Fig. 41 when the R2 resistor has the value 90 Ω.

49. Thus, we see that when the R2 resistor in Fig. 41 has a tolerance of 10%, the actual output( 实际输出 ) voltage may range from 97.826 V to 101.85 V.
