PSpice User Guide Preparing a design for simulation October 2019 172 Product Version 17.4-2019 © 1999-2019 All Rights Reserved. Defining stimuli To simulate your circuit, you need to connect one or more source parts that describe the input signal that the circuit must respond to. The PSpice libraries supply several source parts that are described in the tables that follow. These parts depend on: ■ the kind of analysis you are running, ■ whether you are connecting to the analog or digital portion of your circuit, and ■ how you want to define the stimulus: using the Stimulus Editor, using a file specification, or by defining part property values. Analog stimuli Analog stimuli include both voltage and current sources. The following table shows the part names for voltage sources. If you want this kind of input... Use this part for voltage... For DC analyses See Setting up a DC stimulus on page 476 for more details. DC bias VDC or VSRC For AC analyses See Setting up an AC stimulus on page 491 for more details. AC magnitude and phase VAC or VSRC For transient analyses See Defining a time-based stimulus on page 528 for more details. exponential VEXP or VSTIM
