What are some tips for modeling optocouplers for Pspice?, C( m5 ]: C# A) J) d
Though Model Editor does not provide a template for either an optocoupler or for a phototransistor, it can beused create components of these models. For example,you can use Model Editor to model the electricalcharacteristics of the input LED of an optocoupler.- N z0 B5 S' i3 j
In the case of the optocoupler,you need to create a model for a LED input,and also for a single BJTphototransistor output optocoupler." b+ l: x3 y- }4 k( q

To model LED input, fit the forward current vs. voltage curve of the LED, and the LED capacitance curve toa PSpice diode. These curves are available in datasheets.

In the sample model shown below, the Gpcg source models the CTR curve. In this case, two regions were fitseparately, the region If<=10mA and the region If>10mA, where If is the LED forward current. The outputcurrent of the Gpcg source is the phototransistor collector current.
