Aims:
This module aims to introduce students to the computer simulation of analogue circuits with an emphasis on power electronic circuits.
Assessable learning outcomes:
To be able to write a Spice text input file defining an electronic circuit and to interpret the text output from a Spice simulator. To understand the various types of circuit analysis provided by Spice. To be familiar with Orcad and to be able to define circuits using schematic entry. To be able to simulate analogue circuits using Orcad/PSpice and to interpret the text and graphical output. To be able to simulate a range of linear and non-linear analogue circuits and mixed analog/digital circuits.
Additional outcomes:
To appreciate the part that simulation plays in analogue circuit design. To understand in general terms the computer algorithms used to simulate analogue circuits.
Outline content:
- Spice simulator - dc analysis, transient analysis, frequency response
- Text definition of circuits for spice - interpreting text output
- Simulation of simple circuits (filter, rectifier, logic gate)
- Models of semiconductor devices (diode, bipolar, MOSFET, op-amp)
- Schematic entry using Orcad, and simulation using PSpice
- Further analysis methods including noise, distortion and power consumption
- Simulation of a range of circuits including:
Power amplifiers including classes A, B, AB, Quad
Converters including buck, boost, buck/boost
Inverters including sinusoidal class D
- Analogue/digital mixed-mode simulation
