Basic analyses
DC sweep & other DC calculations
These DC analyses evaluate circuit performance in
response to a direct current source. Table 1
summarizes
what PSpice calculates for each DC analysis type.
Table 1 DC analysis types
For this DC analysis... PSpice computes this...
DC sweep Steady-state voltages and currents
when sweeping a source, a model
parameter, or temperature over a range
of values.
Bias point detail Bias point data in addition to what is
automatically computed in any
simulation.
DC sensitivity Sensitivity of a net or part voltage as a
function of bias point.
Small-signal
DC transfer
Small-signal DC gain, input resistance,
and output resistance as a function of
bias point.
