PSpice User Guide Preparing a design for simulation October 2019 140 Product Version 17.4-2019 © 1999-2019 All Rights Reserved. ■ simulation control parts to do things like set bias values (see Appendix A, "Setting initial state") ■ output control parts to do things like generate tables and line-printer plots to the PSpice output file (see Chapter 19, "Other Output Options") At minimum, a part that you can simulate has these properties: ■ A simulation model to describe the part's electrical behavior; the model can be: ❑ explicitly defined in a model library ❑ built into PSpice ❑ built into the part (for some kinds of analog behavioral parts) ■ A part with modeled pins to form electrical connections in your design. ■ A translation from design part to netlist statement so that PSpice can read it in. Note: Not all parts in the libraries are set up for simulation. For example, connectors are parts destined for board layout only and do not have these simulation properties. Vendor-supplied parts The PSpice libraries provide an extensive selection of manufacturers' analog and digital parts. Typically, the library name reflects the kind of parts contained in the library and the vendor that provided the models. Example: MOTOR_RF.OLB and MOTOR_RF.LIB contain parts and models, respectively, for Motorola-made RF bipolar transistors. Two types of libraries are provided with PSpice: ■ Standard PSpice libraries ■ PSpice Advanced Analysis libraries
