Akshansh Chaudhary
 Click OK
 After you press the run command>

Akshansh Chaudhary
 Go to Trace> Add Trace
 Add the curve for Ic (Q2) (Q2 - The number of the transistor you have used)
 You'll get a curve like this -

Akshansh Chaudhary
 Under the Semantic, go to Simulation > Edit Profile (for editing the simulation profile made
before)
 Run again. You'll get a curve like this-

Akshansh Chaudhary
Ques. 3
 Make the following circuit -
 Go to Pspice> New Simulation Profile
 Click Bias Point Analysis in the dialog box that opens
 Run the Simulation.

Akshansh Chaudhary
Ques. 4
 Make new simulation profile and use AC sweep for the analysis. A dialog box appears, as
shown -

Akshansh Chaudhary
 Click OK and Run the simulation.
 Semantic dialog box will open with a plane graph as shown -

Akshansh Chaudhary
 Now,
 The final graph (For finding the magnitude of voltage gain) after adding trace -
 (NOTE - Addition of trace might not be necessary. You might just directly get the graph on
running).

Akshansh Chaudhary
 Now, for finding the phase of voltage -

Akshansh Chaudhary
 Run the Simulation and see the graph -
 Now, for finding the TRANSIENT RESPONSE -

Akshansh Chaudhary
 Now, create a new simulation profile for Transient analysis with the following values -
 The graph for transient response at the output is -

Akshansh Chaudhary
 Now, for the graph of transient response at collector, change the probe as -
 Run the simulation and see the graph -
(Almost the same as the first one).

Akshansh Chaudhary
Ques. 5
 Construct the circuit as shown in the figure -
(This is the same circuit as in question 4, except that it is used for Bias point analysis, meaning that
we basically want the values of various parameters used in our circuit. So, for that, by standard
procedure, the DC sources are removed and Capacitors are short circuited.)
 Now, Make a new simulation profile and Select Bias Point analysis in the dialog box that opens.

Akshansh Chaudhary
 Now, we have the values. Next, make the following circuit in which -
1. We replace BJT by its High Frequency model (present in the textbook)
2. Calculate the values of the Circuit parameters (i.e, the variables used in the following circuit)
(using the formulas from the textbook)
3. Use those values in the circuit and go further.

Akshansh Chaudhary
 All of the above was done to find this small signal equivalent circuit.
 Now, using this circuit, we have to repeat whatever was done in question 4.
 For AC SWEEP, Create a new simulation profile and select AC Sweep in it.
Make the adjustments as shown in the figure.

Akshansh Chaudhary
 Click OK and run the simulation.
 The figure will be now showing the values as shown, and, a new window will open for
Semantic, having a blank graph.

Akshansh Chaudhary
 Now, put the probe at the collector side and right click the wire to note the value of the node,
to be used in the graph.

Akshansh Chaudhary
 Do the AC analysis on the equivalent circuit.
 Then, solve question 4 in the same way.
 The required graph for AC Sweep is as shown -
 Now, changing the position of the probe and plotting another graph, as shown -

Akshansh Chaudhary
 Run the simulation to get the following graph -
 Now, finding for the TRANSIENT RESPONSE

Akshansh Chaudhary
 Now, create a new simulation profile for Transient analysis.

Akshansh Chaudhary
 Click OK and Run the simulation. We get the following graph -
 Next, change the position of the probe to get the final graph as shown -

Akshansh Chaudhary
 Done.

Akshansh Chaudhary
Ques. 6
 Make the following circuit -
(reference - Sedra and Smith 5th edition)
(International version - pg. 356-358
Adopted version - pg. 451-453)

Akshansh Chaudhary
 A dialog box opens. It is edited as shown -

Akshansh Chaudhary
 Save changes to the library you have just edited. (with any name)
 Go to Pspice, New Simulation Profile.
 In the dialog box that opens, click on BIAS point analysis (to check that the MOSFET) is
properly biased.
 Now, Run the Simulation.
 Next, make another new Simulation Profile for the AC Analysis.

Akshansh Chaudhary
 Run the simulation and add the trace as told above. We get the following graph -

Akshansh Chaudhary
Ques. 7
 Just like it was done for Ques. 5, now, we again have to make the small signal equivalent of the
circuit in Question 6.
 For that, we first of all do the BIAS POINT ANALYSIS of the circuit (with DC Sources removed
and capacitor SC).
 Then, we replace the MOSFET with a high frequency model and solve for all the parameters
used in the circuit (using the formulas from the textbook).
 Bias Point Analysis Circuit -

Akshansh Chaudhary
 Make a new simulation profile for Bias Point Analysis and Run the simulation. The following
circuit is got -
 Now, making the small signal equivalent circuit for Frequency response of the CS Amplifier -

Akshansh Chaudhary
 Make a new simulation profile and run the program.
 A blank graph is obtained.
 Now, to add trace to it, go to the following wire and note the value of the node. That has to be
added as a trace.

Akshansh Chaudhary
 Plotting gives the final graph -
