Temperature Pin on PSPICE models

Some of the newer Orcad 9.1 PSPICE models have a temperature pin in them. How do you make a part for MicroSim 8.0 that ties this pin to the temperature?

Thanks

I don't understand. If you look at the first couple of lines of the NDS9410a model, there's an extra pin. Pin 50 VTEMP. When I make a symbol I have to include this pin. The model works but I need to drive this pin with a 27Volt source. I'd rather have this pin be driven by the normal .TEMP parameter. Is there a way to attach a pin to a parameter?

Thanks

Aha! Someone has hokeyed up a model so that an applied voltage is local temperature.

Are you wanting to do a temperature sweep, or some other analysis, but set temperature?

If you do a behavior VCVS with expression = {TEMP}, you'll get a voltage equal to the temperature.

(I'm pretty sure that works in v8.)

Yes, I'm trying to do a nested temperature sweep on a whole circuit. Fairchild seems to be adding these weird VTEMP pins in their SPICE models. I'll try the VCVS = {TEMP} trick. I also try making the pin hidden and sticking {TEMP} into the IPIN.

Thanks

Fairchild has an explanation on how to use these models.
