What are some tips for modeling optocouplers for Pspice?" h0 w9 J0 U5 h- t7 t- b
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.. _) h8 [/ A9 m1 q' n8 y! v
In the case of the optocoupler,you need to create a model for a LED input,and also for a single BJTphototransistor output optocoupler.

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.6 |6 q& u7 L0 w( U, J+ N( O$ H
