This paper incorporates the use of PSpice to simplify massive complex circuits. This involves the simulation of a VHDL based designed processor in PSpice software. After reading through the various properties that have been displayed, it would seem as an easy method of how a VHDL coded program can be easily converted into PSpice module. This can be treated as an assessment tool for the students which not only help them interact with the circuitry in VHDL, but, become much more involved with the practical aspects of PSpice software.
