Then select a DC voltage supply and place it
![Page 14: PSPICE Graphical Tutorial](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061512/56812ba4550346895d8fd938/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Draw the wires to connect all the parts
![Page 15: PSPICE Graphical Tutorial](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061512/56812ba4550346895d8fd938/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Your circuit will look something like this:
![Page 16: PSPICE Graphical Tutorial](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061512/56812ba4550346895d8fd938/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Click on the wires to label the circuit nodes: call the ground wire “0”
![Page 17: PSPICE Graphical Tutorial](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061512/56812ba4550346895d8fd938/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Now mark the circuit nodes of interest with Voltage Level Markers
![Page 18: PSPICE Graphical Tutorial](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061512/56812ba4550346895d8fd938/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Your circuit will look something like this:
![Page 19: PSPICE Graphical Tutorial](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061512/56812ba4550346895d8fd938/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Click on Analysis: Setup
![Page 20: PSPICE Graphical Tutorial](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061512/56812ba4550346895d8fd938/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
For DC circuit analysis, enable: “Bias Point Detail”
![Page 21: PSPICE Graphical Tutorial](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061512/56812ba4550346895d8fd938/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Select Analysis: Create Netlist (correct circuit layout if any errors found)
![Page 22: PSPICE Graphical Tutorial](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061512/56812ba4550346895d8fd938/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Select Analysis: Simulate to analyze the circuit
![Page 23: PSPICE Graphical Tutorial](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061512/56812ba4550346895d8fd938/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
This window tells you how the simulation went
![Page 24: PSPICE Graphical Tutorial](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061512/56812ba4550346895d8fd938/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Go to your workspace directory and click on the Output File
![Page 25: PSPICE Graphical Tutorial](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061512/56812ba4550346895d8fd938/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Scroll down to you find the voltages for the nodes you marked in the circuit. The voltages are referenced to node “0.”
![Page 26: PSPICE Graphical Tutorial](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061512/56812ba4550346895d8fd938/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
This time, replace the DC voltage source with a time varying voltage source, such as VPULSE
![Page 27: PSPICE Graphical Tutorial](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061512/56812ba4550346895d8fd938/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Put it in the circuit and click on it to select it’s parameters
![Page 28: PSPICE Graphical Tutorial](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061512/56812ba4550346895d8fd938/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Here I selected the constant DC and AC values to be zero, the initial voltage level (V1) to be zero, the final voltage level (V2) to be 10V, the time delay (TD) to be 1us and the rise time (TR) to be 10us. I left the other options blank
![Page 29: PSPICE Graphical Tutorial](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061512/56812ba4550346895d8fd938/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Under Analysis Setup, enable “Transient…” and click on it
Keep the “Bias Point Detail” enabled too
![Page 30: PSPICE Graphical Tutorial](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061512/56812ba4550346895d8fd938/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Set the Transient Analysis Final Time to 100us
![Page 31: PSPICE Graphical Tutorial](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061512/56812ba4550346895d8fd938/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Run the Simulation and these result will appear:
A plot of the voltages at all the marked nodes over the transient analysis time (0s to 100us)
Play with this window to adjust display time and what signals are displayed
