Maximum Power Dissipation Limits

Dec 17, 2007 2 Replies

How do I set the maximum power dissipation limits (power rating) for a resistor in a PSpice schematic? Thanks in advance.


Do you have the SMOKE option, or Advanced Analysis? If so, it is in the SMOKE settings. If it is just vanilla PSpice, you take a look at the power trace on the part, and see if exceeds limits...

Or learn how to write Macros for use in Probe. I even have one for safe-operating-area for hot-electron-limited MOSFET's ;-)
