Pspice of a RC circuit in parallel

Oct 12, 2010 1 Replies

Hello,



I'd like to monitor the Capacitance and the Resistance as a function of DC bias when a sinusoidal voltage (that has a DC offset) is applied at constant frequency on a RC circuit in parallel.



For example, for a circuit where R=1Kohm, C= 1nF, and the AC applied bias has a certain DC offset (set to "0" here, see below), a fixed AC voltage amplitude of 50 mV and a fixed frequency of 1KHz, I thought of something like:


------------------- Test circuit



R1 1 0 1000 C1 1 0 1e-9



VIN 1 0 SIN(0 50e-3 1e3)



.END


----------------



However, I don't know how to sweep the DC offset bias in the sinusoidal voltage signal (which is fixed to 0 in this example) and plot R and C vs. DC applied bias. Does anyone would know how to do that? Should be very simple, (I guess) but I can't find examples in the Spice documentation that I have.



Thanks a lot


Neither R nor C will change as a function of DC bias. Some types might, but not the ideal Spice parts.
