If statements to control Dependent Voltage Source

Sparkaholic
Sparkaholic over 10 years ago

Hi, I am new here.  Up to this point I have used Pspice in a conventional way doing nothing very complicated.

I am now trying to get up to speed on simulating power supply circuits.  I found an article from 1996 by Christophe Basso where he describes using if statements to control a Voltage Controlled  Voltage Source (http://www.intusoft.com/articles/pwmtut.pdf.  There have been many changes to Pspice since this was written.  

I am trying to figure out how to implement this but everything I have tried didn't work.

Does anyone know how to get this to work?

Any help is appreciated!

Thx

Sparky

    PSpice syntax mentioned in this Basso article is still supported. Can you be more specific with the problem faced by you? This should work in PSpice. Are you using text based cir file or trying to create schematic for simulation?

    Hi alkot, I am using V16.3, I am trying to create the schematic for simulation. I don't know where to enter the info. I tried to edit the dependent source in the "value" heading but it would only accept one character.
