Pspice Advanced : SMOKE. Different smoke limits per Model

Dami

Hi,

 I start with the smoke analysis and I do not manage to create 2 resitances with different properties.

I am used to add Rbreakout resistors and to Edit the Pspice Model in order to give them different DEV (for example 1% and 10%) or TC1.

Now I would like to perform a smoke analysis on my design? is it possible?

The "part" VARIABLES in PSPICE_ELEM library defines all the smoke limits but there are the same for all the resistors....

Thanks

  • CMAX property in variable block is generic property placeholder and value assigned to CMAX under variables, would be substituted for Maximum Rated Voltage on all capacitors.

    Capacitor part from PSpice_ELEM library would also show temperature derating of it's max rated voltage due to ambient temperature (simulation temperature). This derating is modeled using MAX_TEMP, KNEE ,SLOPE parameter.

    Hope this clarifies.
