What are some tips for modeling optocouplers for Pspice?
& n7 x) N. j# V) ?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.: X6 [8 X1 N- d8 B
In the case of the optocoupler,you need to create a model for a LED input,and also for a single BJTphototransistor output optocoupler., r4 {) X! x6 F) B% U
1.LED

2.CTR curve fit

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.- k& F; W ~* @5 v, F
