CONTENTS • SIMULATING A CIRCUIT IN NGSPICE • EXAMPLE CIRCUIT • NETLIST CREATION USING gEDA SCHEMATIC EDITOR • ANALYSIS OF BASIC CIRCUITS • HIGH PASS CIRCUIT AND DIFFERENTIATOR • LOW PASS CIRCUIT AND INTEGRATOR • RECTIFIER CIRCUITS • CLIPPER CIRCUITS • CLAMPER CIRCUITS
Simulating a Circuit using NGSPICE Steps • Mark the nodes present in the circuit using numbers or symbols (Try to mark Ground node by '0') • Write the netlist (use texteditors such as gedit or vi editor etc)for the circuit satisfying all the rules and regulations. • Save the netlist using .cir or .net extension. 3
Simulating a Circuit using NGSPICE • Open ngspice command window by typing ngspice in terminal(bash,sash etc) • Give the name of the saved netlist in ngspice command window.
EXAMPLE CIRCUIT Simulation of a simple RC filter using NGSPICE

PART II NETLIST CREATION USING gEDA SCHEMATIC EDITOR
STEPS • Draw the schematic of the circuit using gEDA schematic editor • Save the file with extension .sch • Convert .sch file to.net file using gnetlister. Command : gnetlist -g spice -o rc_filter.net rc_filter.sch
DRAWING CIRCUIT IN gEDA SCHEMATIC EDITOR SAVE THE ABOVE SCHEMATIC AS rc_filter.sch
CONVERING SCHEMATIC TO NETLIST Output File name Schematic Name gnetlist -g spice -o rc_filter.net rc_filter.sch
NETLIST OBTAINED FROM SCHEMATIC rc_filter.net
SIMULATING THE NETLIST Name of the NETLIST created using gnetlister
SIMULATING THE NETLIST : TRANSIENT ANALYSIS Final Value Indicates Transient Analysis Increment value
SIMULATING THE NETLIST : TRANSIENT ANALYSIS PLOT V(2) V(1)
ANALYSIS OF THE WAVEFORM GREEN COLOUR : INPUT WAVE RED COLOUR: OUTPUT WAVEFORM
REASONS • The Circuit is a High pass filter, so it passes only high frequency signals. • We have given an input sinusoidal waveform of Amplitude = 10V and Frequency = 1kHz • Cut off frequency of the high pass filter is given by, cutoff frequency= 1/(2*pi*R*C) Here in this case Cutoff frequency (3 dB frequency ) = 48.22kHZ So, Give input sine wave frequency >= 48.22 kHz

HOW A HIGH PASS FILTER CAN BE CONVERTED TO A DIFFERENTIATOR CIRCUIT
HIGH PASS FILTER AS DIFFERENTIATOR The Condition in which a high pass filter acts as a differentiator circuit is given by RC << 0.0016T ; Where T = Time period of the input signal Question ? Design a Differentiator Circuit which takes a pulse waveform of frequency 1 kHz and perform its transient analysis using NGSPICE.... Take the capacitor value as C = 3.3nF
