  • The PSpice Monte Carlo analysis of a low-pass filter can be found here.
• PSpice
  
  • The most recent PSpice version 8 can be downloaded from OrCAD (formerly MicroSim).
  • I have put a copies of older versions here for those with older hardware and software. These are IBM-PC compatible DOS-based versions that only require a coprocessor and 1 or 2 MB of extended memory. They will run under Microsoft Windows.
    • PSpice 6.1 Evaluation Version (August 1994) is on two 1.4 MB disks. This version has its own limited window support, but requires entry of components in a text format (versus the schematic capture approach in the newest versions).
    • PSpice 6.0 Evaluation Version is on three 1.2 MB disks.
