Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the use of Pspice Capture Lite, specifically regarding the availability of an extended library for components, including analog voltage and current sources. Participants also inquire about the integration of voltage/current dependent sources into circuits, touching on both software capabilities and component availability.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation, Homework-related, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • Cyrus expresses frustration over the lack of necessary components in the Pspice Capture Lite library and seeks recommendations for an extended library.
  • Another participant suggests a free spice simulator available from Linear, noting its capabilities and positive personal experience with it.
  • Warren mentions that most spice tools include elements designated as VSRC and ISRC for voltage and current sources, respectively.
  • A later reply advises that all libraries must be added in the parts window to access additional components.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants have differing views on the availability of components in Pspice Capture Lite and how to access them, with no consensus on the best solution or approach to integrating dependent sources.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include potential missing assumptions about the user's familiarity with Pspice and the specific steps required to add libraries or components.

I installed Pspice Capture Lite from my student cd that came with my EE book, but the only things in the library are what I DON'T need! :cry: It has no analog voltage or current source!? Does anyone have or know where I can download an extended library of parts? Also, can anyone tell me how to a voltage/current dependent source into a circuit?

Thanks,

Cyrus

In case you're interested, there's a free spice simulator with schematic capture available at the website of Linear:

It is presented as a tool to simulate their components, but it is in fact a fully working spice simulator. I got the tip from a consultant that did a job for us and I asked him if he knew of a good free spice simulator, and he referred me to that place. I used it in the mean time for several projects, with imported spice models from other vendors, and it works great.

You've got to add all the libraries in the parts window
