What are some tips for modeling optocouplers for Pspice?
5 P# d) @; }' s% {- l& YThough 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.

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.6 |- k: u* w9 K2 I

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.* w: e/ M+ t* ]% Y
