What is PSpice?

PSpice is an analog circuit simulator.  It calculates the voltages and currents of a circuit under a variety of different circumstances, such as DC, AC, and in time.  The program SPICE was developed at the University of California at Berkeley in the early 1970's and has become a de facto standard in the area of analog simulation.  The    input and output of PSpice conform to that standard.  Also, PSpice has many extensions which give it a wide applicability.

Probe is a waveform viewer.  It displays the results from PSpice graphically and interactively.  If you think of PSpice as a "software breadboard", then think of Probe as a "software oscilloscope".

Parts is a device characterization program.  Its job is to semi-automate the process of going from data sheet information to SPICE model parameters.  Parts provides graphical feedback and is also interactive.

Also included in this package is the Monte Carlo analysis option for PSpice.  Monte Carlo analysis allows tolerances to be assigned    to component values and used in repeated simulations.  This option is built into the evaluation version of the PSpice program.
