Issue with Falltime Measurement in PSpice - Discrepancy between Simulated Waveform and Evaluate Measurement

WillChen072
WillChen072 11 months ago

I am encountering an issue with the Evaluate Measurement function in PSpice. Specifically, I am trying to measure the fall time (Falltime Noovershoot) of a waveform.

When I visually inspect the waveform, the fall time appears to be around 20 ns. However, the Evaluate Measurement tool reports a fall time of 2.5 µs, which is significantly different from what I observe.

Has anyone else experienced this discrepancy? Are there any known issues or settings that I might be overlooking which could cause such a large difference between the visual inspection and the measured value?

I appreciate any insights or suggestions you might have to resolve this issue.

Thank you!

    This function finds the difference between the X values where the trace first crosses 90% and then 10% of its maximum value with a negative slope.
    i.e. Find the falltime of a signal with no overshoot.

    If the signal has overshoot, use Falltime_StepResponse()
