PSPICE 9.1 student version has some limitations compared to the full version of the software, including:
Argument AGAINST: The inability to simulate an 11-node circuit (e.g., a 4-stage RC filter or a 555 timer circuit) frustrates learners. Furthermore, the library lacks MOSFET models (BSIM3, BSIM4) and modern diodes. Students learning on PSpice 9.1 must later unlearn the obsolete UI when moving to industry tools.
Graphical interfaces for drawing circuit diagrams.
