Hi there:

I downloaded the .CIR model from Analog devices of the AD8436 from http://www.analog.com/media/en/simulation-models/spice-models/ad8436.cir

    This is a SPICE 3 model, PSpice is based upon SPICE 2. SPICE 3 has a B intrinsic model for an arbitrary voltage, or current, source defined by the parameter V=, or I=, these can be usually be converted to SPICE 2 intrinsic parts E VALUE for Voltage and G VALUE for Current. See the PSpice Reference Manual, pspcref.pdf in the doc\pspcref directory of the installation for the general form for the SPICE 2 E, F, G and H sources and the VALUE expression format.
