PSpice Simulation - Characteristic Curves for a BJT If we draw the circuit on the right, we can obtain the Characteristic

Family of Curves for a BJT. Start Capture CIS and create a new project called transistor curves. The values entered for the sources IB and VCC on the schematic do not matter as both are modified by PSpice during the DC Sweep Analysis. Draw the circuit on the right. Use the value for R1 as shown on the right. At the Collector of Q1, place a Net Alias called IC. At the top of the current source, Place a Net Alias called IB For Q1, the Q2N2222, modify the PSpice Model to the parameters shown below.

Create a New Simulation Profile called Transistor Curves for DC Sweep. Enter the values for the Primary Sweep using the values in the following graphic.
