Execution Order for Standard

Anal

ses

During simulation, any analyses that are enabled are performed

in the order shown in Table 8-2

. Each type of analysis is

conducted at most once per run.

Several of the analyses (small-signal transfer, DC sensitivity,

and frequency response) depend upon the bias point calculation.

Since so many analyses use the bias point, PSpice A/D

calculates it automatically. PSpice A/D’s bias point calculation

computes initial states of digital components as well as the

analog components.
