Float property of Unconnected pins in PSPICE

Nikesh Bansal
Nikesh Bansal over 10 years ago

Hey 

I am using OrCAD Capture to design a circuit and simulate in PSPICE. In my circuit I have some unconnected pins. I have corrected the error in OrCAD of unconnected pins. Now PSPICE is showing the following errors :

ERROR(ORPSIM-15141): Less than 2 connections at node 1.

ERROR(ORPSIM-15141): Less than 2 connections at node 3.

ERROR(ORPSIM-15142): Node X_TX2.7 is floating

ERROR(ORPSIM-15142): Node X_TX2.2 is floating

ERROR(ORPSIM-15142): Node X_TX2.8 is floating

ERROR(ORPSIM-15142): Node 1 is floating

ERROR(ORPSIM-15142): Node 3 is floating

How do I correct these errors?

Thanks in advance!

P.S. It is necessary to keep the pins floating. Grounding the pins or connecting a  very large resistor kills the magnitude of power in the circuit.

    - Make sure you are placing components from Pspice libraries (<install>/tools/capture/library/pspice). Also check if you have proper ground. It should be showing up as "0" in your netlist and not as "gnd".
