Engineering Plotting Diode Point-Contact with PSPICE for Circuit Analysis

AI Thread Summary
To plot the point-contact of a diode in PSpice correctly, the x-axis must represent the diode junction voltage (V(D1:1)) instead of the swept source voltage (V_V1). Users should adjust the plot settings by navigating to plot->axis settings->x axis->axis variable to input the correct variable. The initial confusion stemmed from differences in expression formats and axis settings in the plots. Ensuring the correct x-variable is crucial for accurate circuit analysis. Following these adjustments will yield the desired plot format.

Hello i need to show with pspice plot the point-contact of diode.
this is the circuit and the values i need:

the right solution should look like this plot

but this is the plot i see

thx in advance!

I'm not too familiar with PSpice's equation plotting details, but I do notice that there is a difference in the format of the expressions that your diagrams show. Do you need the parentheses to make the order of operations clear?

im aware to this difference its not the case thx..
 
Okay. I noticed something else... The "good" plot has V(D1:1) on the x-axis. Your plot has V_V1. Presumably that means the good plot is plotting the other quantities against the diode junction voltage, whereas yours is plotting against the swept source voltage value.

You need to figure out how to place the diode voltage on the x-axis of your plot.

looks like you right!
thx..
 
yea, the man is right you just need to change your x-variable... go to plot->axis settings->x axis->axis variable and put v(d1:1).
