ECD Lab 1

This document contains instructions for Lab 1 of the course EE313 Electronic Circuits and Design. The objectives are to simulate more advanced circuits using PSpice and familiarize students with its features. Students will simulate a transformer circuit and observe the effects of changing the primary/secondary and transformation ratio. They will also simulate a peak detector circuit and observe the effects of changing the input amplitude and loading resistance through parametric sweeps. Students are required to record their results and graphs in a lab report to submit.

LABORATORY EXERCISE – 1

Simulation Using Advanced Features of PSpice


Objective

1. To simulate slightly more advanced circuits, such as the transformers and a peak
detector, using the PSpice simulation software. This familiarize the student with some
more features of PSpice.

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

2. The following will be required in this lab experiment:

- Lab PC
- PSpice Software version 9.1

Introduction to PSpice

3. This experiment leads into some passive components whose simulation will give
confidence to the student in handling more complex circuits later on.

4. By now the students have learned that Spice is a powerful tool that allows one to quickly
obtain the complete list of voltages and currents for any given circuit. Moreover it can be
used to display simulation results graphically.The graphing tool is really powerful and has
many variations which will be helpful in understanding component characteristics,
behaviour and performance under various stimulations and circuit conditions. The student
is encouraged to explore various features of PSPICE and master it’s use.

5. It is strongly suggested that during this lab the student must read and use the document
developed by University of Pennsylvania . This is available as an Adobe PDF file
on your PC; in case you are unable to find it please contact the Lab Assistant, the Lab
Engineer or your instructor. The students are urged to read the primer carefully and
learn to perform the experiment independently with as little help from the teaching
staff. The Lab Engineer / Instructor will be conducting a Viva Voice during the lab and
grade you individually.

6. The students are required to fill in various simulation results and graph that were
generated during the course of this lab as attachments to the LAB REPORT which will be
submitted before start of next Lab.

EXERCISE 1

7. The first part of the lab is given below:

a. Creating and Simulating a Transformer Circuit in PSpice.


For this exercise refer to section 3.1 of the primer. Using the tutorial provided as a guide,
perform transient analysis on the following circuit and save the results. Print or sketch the
results on a separate sheet and attach it to the lab handout for submission

Figure 1

1. Reverse the primary and secondary of transformer and comment on the result.

2. Change the transformation ratio of transformer &


Print graphs for input and output voltages.

EXERCISE 2

8. This part will allow the students to use parametric sweep for dynamic simulations.

a. Rectifier Circuit (peak detector).


A peak detector circuit, like the name suggests, is used to clamp voltage at a
certain peak value. For this exercise refer to section 3.4 and 3.4.2 of the primer.

Figure 2

1. Change the amplitude of input voltage and find out the peak to peak value of
ripple voltage along with graph.
Note: The ripple voltage obtained should be visible on graph as indicated by
cursor.

b. Use of Parametric Sweep
It is interesting to see the effect of the load resistance on the output
voltage and its ripple voltage. This can be done using PARAM part.
For this exercise refer to 3.4.2 of primer

1. Change the value of load resistance from 250 to 1000 ohm in steps of 250
ohm and Print the graph obtained as result of parametric sweep of load
Resistor.

2. Comment on the effect of ripple voltage as result of changing load resistance.
