    This document provides an overview of circuit simulation. It discusses that circuit simulation is the process of imitating the behavior of electronic components in a circuit using a simulation package. Circuit simulation allows designers to detect problems, enhance designs, and verify circuit operation before building physical circuits. This reduces costs and time. Common simulation software includes Pspice, Protel, Orcad, Cadance, and Mentor Graphics. There are four types of circuits, three simulation methods, and four analysis types used in the simulation process. Overall, circuit simulation helps test circuits virtually before physical implementation.

    Circuit Simulation

    Course Code: CMPE 30141


    Course Title: Computer Engineering Drafting and Design
    Instructor: Engr. Jomer Juan
    What is CIRCUIT SIMULATION?

    • Process of IMITATING the behavior of electronic components in a


    circuit.

    • This is done using a specific electronic circuit simulation


    package.
    WHY?

    • TO DETECT the PROBLEM of the circuit before building them.

    • TO ENHANCE THE DESIGNS of the circuits.


    WHY?

    • TO VERIFY the OPERATION of the designed circuit.

    • Output can be in voltage distribution, current flow, waveforms,


    frequency response curve, switching speed in digital circuits.

    • TO REDUCES the COST and TIME spent in project design.


    HOW?

    • Using any electronic circuit simulation package or software such


    as;
    • Pspice
    • Protel
    • Orcad
    • Cadance
    • Mentor Graphics
    DESIGN AND
    SIMULATION

    DESIGN & SIMULATION PROCESS FLOWCHART
    TYPES OF SIMULATION
    CIRCUITS, METHODS &
    ANALYSIS
    Types of Simulation Circuits

    • There are FOUR types of circuit:

    1. Analog Circuit: Circuit that consists of passive and/or active analog


    components.
    2. Digital Circuit: Circuit that consists of digital components such as logic
    gates and digital devices.
    3. Mixed-Signal Circuit: Circuit that combines analog and digital
    components.
    4. Integrated Circuit: The internal circuit of an IC and transistors.
    Simulation Methods

    • There are THREE methods of simulation:

    1. Circuit Level: An analog circuit is simulated and results i.e. voltage


    drop, current flow, noise, impedance in the circuit are obtained.
    2. Logic Level: A digital circuit is simulated and the logic level of the
    inputs and outputs are obtained.
    3. System Level: To determine the characteristics of a system such as
    the design of a telecommunication network, losses due to the cabling
    and the quality of transmitted and recepted signals between two
    distant locations can be determined.
    Simulation Analysis

    • There are FOUR types of analysis used in simulation process.

    1. DC Analysis. Analysis that use DC as source.


    2. Transient Analysis. Analysis how o/p varied with time.
    3. AC Analysis. Analysis performance in small-signal AC source circuit.
    4. Fourier Analysis. Analysis frequency component of any voltage or
    current.
    Conclusion

    • Simulation helps us to test our circuits before building it.


    • However theory and calculations, will always guide us to predict
    the output of a circuits.
