INTRODUCTION TO PSpice

AIM: To Study about the PSpice software

APPARATUS:
1. PSPICE SOFTWARE
2. PERSOA! CO"P#TER
OBJECTIVES: The stude$t wi%% be ab%e to &$ow

was a(ai%ab%e beca)e (ery (ersati%e software. PSpice is +e$era% purpose software which ca$ be
used to a$a%y,e (arious e%ectrica% a$d e%ectro$ic circuits %i&e deter)i$atio$ of $oda% (o%ta+es*

etc.
I$ PSpice e(ery state)e$t is i$depe$de$t a$d co$tai$s co)p%ete i$for)atio$ about it .The
