How to get a Sawtooth Wave in Pspice?

Hi

I use VPULSE to generate Sawtooth Wave in Pspice. but the output's peak voltage is not 5V as I set. Why? Thanks.

    It is because of the internal time step control algorithm which uses it's own time step value if you don't specify the "maximum step size".

    Define a finer step size i.e. 0.1u and your signal reaches 5V.

    On the other hand, you require your generator to make signal that is faster then the speed of light (TF = 0). Try to be more realistic.
