Getting Started with OrCAD 9.2

This article contains the material I prepared for a presentation I have done at my university. Thorough out this post I will discuss to draw schematic, simulate in time domain and frequency domain and design the PCB for a simple transistor amplifier with covering some of mostly used topics in OrCAD.

Looking Back

Let’s start with the transistor amplifier circuit. Potential Divider biased Class A amplifier. Calculate IB, IC, VCE and VC of following circuit. Take β = 100.
