Creating more than 1 model for diode

AK202506189415 2 months ago

I am simulating a HgCdTe photodiode model, which uses 2 diodes with different parameter values. I changed parameter values for 1 diode using 'Edit Pspice model', but the 2nd diode automatically also took on those values.

So it seems I've changed the default diode model parameter values but I want to make 2 different diode models with different parameter values besides the default, and choose what model to use our of the 3 whenever I place a diode in a circuit.

Can anyone pls help how to do this ?

A couple of ways: Use a Dbreak from the Breakout library in Capture. Right-click>Edit PSpice Model, change the Model Name and add the Parameters. Note: The Dbreak part displays the Implementation not the Value, which may be related to your other issue. When you edited the Model Parameters, you likely retained the D Model Name so "any" D Model would have those Parameters from then on. Change the Model Name in the .Model Statement and then edit the Implementation Property Value to reflect the name of the diode model that you want.
