PSpice is a circuit simulation tool that runs under Windows.
Overview of Mergers
Spice (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis) is a computer program developed in the 1970s at the University of California at Berkeley for simulating electric circuits. PSpice is an enhanced version and probably the most popular version of Spice. It was originally developed by MicroSim in 1985. MicroSim and Orcad merged in January 1998. Cadence purchased Orcad in July of 1999.

You may have trouble downloading PSpice from the Cadence Web site due to the size of the files. These are the same files you can download from Cademce but from our local server.
You may find that the student version of PSpice does not include the device models that you need to model your laboratory components. The author of our textbook has collected several of the models you are most likely to need.
Even though PSpice is relatively easy to use it still requires some practice to learn its features. These doucments will help you quickly learn its basic features.
These are zipped *.sch files.
Read the appropriate reference material. Note that the reference material uses the older text version of PSpice and NOT the schematic entry version which you are using.
