Hello everyone,
I started using KiCAD a cpl od weeks ago bcos I joined an electric engineering degree.
I understand the learning curve of gigantic software like this is steep.
I would like to start leaning how to setup a simple BJT_bias simulation.
From a text book example, I took this circuit with the following practice points:
V1 = 5V
Rb = 50K
Mode: DC Sweep
Component to sweep: VCE
Active Signal : Ic
Primary Start: 0
Primary Stop: 15
Primary Step : 1m
and it requires to
a) analyze the obtained graph
b) determine saturation voltage
c) determine Ic at Vce = 8V
So, first things first:
- i don’t even seem to be able to reproduce the identical circuit bcos I can’t find that Vce Variable symbol on kicad library
- if i try to setup a simlation with the circuit as it is i get a “Warining” message window and I don’t seem to move forward
I have only a V source in the circuit so I don’t know what it is asking me by “You Need to select a DC source”. I thought I did
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thank you
