How to Stress Test Circuit Designs before Manufacturing using PSpice

Designing a working prototype is one thing. Making sure it works across hundreds or thousands of production boards is another. In this video, Kirsch Mackey demonstrates how to use Monte Carlo and Worst Case Analysis in PSpice to simulate what happens when real-world component tolerances hit your circuit. This is how you find corner cases and edge behaviors before they blow up in the field. You'll learn how to stress test all key components in your design, from flyback transformer inductance and feedback resistors to snubber networks and compensation circuits. Kirsch walks through setting up uniform and gaussian distribution runs, interpreting simulation results, and identifying which tolerances are too risky for production. If you are designing anything for scale, this kind of simulation is essential. Don't just test the prototype, test the process.
