EEL 5245 POWER ELECTRONICS I

Lecture #5: Examples

PSPICE Refresher (Dr. Chris Iannelo)

Discussion Topics

•  Exercise 2.2 and Problem 2.7 Solutions •  PSPICE Overview

–  PSPICE Websites •  www.pspice.com •  www.orcadpcb.com •  www.cadencepcb.com/products/downloads/default.asp

–  Any special libraries needed (if there are any) will be posted to the WebCT website

–  PSPICE File types •  *.SCH, *.LIB, *.SLB, *.CIR (SCHEMATICS EDITOR) •  *.OPJ, *.LIB, *.OLB, *.CIR (CAPTURE EDITOR)

Discussion Topics

•  Exercise 2.2 Exact Solution

•  Problem 2.7

Discussion Topics

•  Schematic Definition done in one of two editors provided: Schematics or Capture

•  In class examples use Schematics editor (you can use either Schematics or Capture as your editor of choice) –  Schematics often easier to use –  Capture editor has more built in functions –  Both create similar but slightly different text files

(netlists and *.cir files) for pass off to the PSPICE A/D Engine.

•  PSPICE Engine has integrated display called PROBE for results viewing

Discussion Topics

•  Schematics Front end –  Overview of Simulation Types

•  Transient, Bias Point, AC

–  Model Parameters (Model Editor and Attributes entry) –  Library Configuration (Symbol, Model, Include) –  Cut and Past Operations from PSPICE for Submission

and/or presentation –  Parts of Interest

•  Diode Options –  SBreak –  DBreak

•  Sources –  VPulse

Discussion Topics

•  Ideal Switch –  Sw_tclose, Sw_topen, SBreak

•  ABM Parts –  GValue, GTable, EValue, ETable

•  “Real World” Parts in Eval Library •  Diode Implementation

–  Marker Types –  Polarity in Schematics –  Append Functions in Probe –  Probe Setup Options –  Convergence Tips and Tricks

•  “Virtual Snubber” •  reltol=.01

Buck Converter (Step Down) CCM using Capture as Editor

•  Library setup in Capture

Project Conversion Schematic files to Capture Files

•  Requires some effort •  Need original *.ini file from Schematics (often in C:

\windows directory) •  Can often use an ini that’s not the original but requires

user to modify the pspice.ini for the new front-end

PSPICE Case Study: Hubble Telescope Design

•  Attached is excellent example of how PSPICE can do both electronics level and system level simulations

•  Note how the authors use “time scaling” such that –  Simulation time 596 seconds on PC –  “PSPICE Time Span” 1.8 seconds –  Physical Time Span 1.8*10000 seconds=5 hours –  To improve the Pspice simulator convergence for multiple orbit runs, time is

divided by –  10000, resulting in a 96 minute orbit equal to 576 milliseconds, and a 60

minute daytime duration of –  360 milliseconds.
