The Origins of SPICEThe Origins of SPICE
• In the 1960’s, simulation software begins– CANCER
• Computer Analysis of Nonlinear Circuits, Excluding Radiation
• Developed at the University of California, Berkley• Funded by United States public funds

The Origins of SPICEThe Origins of SPICE
• From CANCER to SPICE– SPICE developed in the 1970’s
• Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis
– Developed to save money• Simulation of circuits, not physically building• Transistor sizes
– Microprocessors vs. 2N2222

The Origins of SPICEThe Origins of SPICE
• From SPICE to SPICE2– SPICE 2 was in response to the wonderful
acceptance of SPICE• Comments, questions, and complaints found their
way back to UC-Berkley– SPICE 2 was released into the public domain
• This means its free to use in the United States– Commercial versions that offer much more
support and features

That Was ThenThat Was Then
• The original way of entering circuit information– A text file with syntax specific to the simulator
• Easy to remember commands and syntax– R – Resistor– C – Capacitor– L – Inductor– {Element} {node1} {node2} {value}
• Entered into any text editor with proper syntax

Place PartsPlace Parts
• Place the 5 resistors– Using Place Part– Type ‘R’ in Part Field
• Place the Voltage Source– Using Place Part– Type ‘Vdc’ in Part
Field• Right click and
choose “End Mode”
![Page 14: Introduction to PSpice](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56816075550346895dcf9d93/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Rotate and Move ResistorsRotate and Move Resistors
• Click on the resistor– Use ‘Ctrl+R’ to rotate– Repeat for 4 resistors
• Move and place the resistors in parallel
• Change the values– Double Click on the
‘1k’ and enter ‘4k’ of the parallel resistors
![Page 15: Introduction to PSpice](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56816075550346895dcf9d93/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
