This laboratory exercise consisted of two parts, a simulation using OrCAD PSPICE and a hardware portion in which the same circuit …show more content…
Specifically, what is the funcction of the PARAMETER/SPECIAL element? Also, what type of simluation was run? What were the start/stop resistor values? What was the step size, and was it linearly or logarithmically varied? Comment about the line fit in Excel (or whatever software was used to perform the linear regression).
1.3.1 Theory: PSPICE Simulation Varying Load Circuit
In this section, include:
• A figure with a screen shot of the schematic in PSPICE with voltage markers.
• A figure with the plot of RL vs. vL
• A figure with the corresponding linear regression in Excel that illustrates the resulting scatter plot and extraction of Rth and voc.
• Present the equation generated by Excel in the text of the report.
• Be sure to indicate the r2 value with the equation. You may need to change the output precision of Excel if the r2 value appears to be “1”.
• Briefly comment about the results and whether they agree with your hand calculations. Include the extracted values of Vth and Rth in Table 1. This section should be about a paragraph long. Table 1: Variable Load PSPICE test results Voc (V) Rth
