Troubleshooting Opamp Saturation in Orcad Pspice 9.2

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on troubleshooting op-amp saturation issues in Orcad Pspice 9.2, specifically regarding unexpected saturation times during transient analysis with various input voltages. The user reports that the op-amp does not saturate as expected at 1V and experiences rapid saturation at higher voltages, leading to confusion about the timing. Suggestions include checking the op-amp's slew rate to predict saturation times without simulation. Additionally, another user mentions encountering convergence problems while simulating a circuit designed to generate a 10A current at 10,000Hz, despite it functioning correctly in real life. The conversation emphasizes the importance of proper circuit modeling and simulation settings to achieve accurate results.

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to model a circuit using Orcad Pspice 9.2
I am trying to solve the time when the opamp saturates with maximum voltage operation of 10v and -10v. I am applying different voltages to the circuit, when I do the transient analysis, i am not getting the right time. For example, at a voltage applied of 1v, the opamp never saturates, but i get a saturation in the microSeconds. When I apply a voltage of 2 volts, i should get a time of infinity, meaning that the opamp takes a really long time to saturate. I've attached the file, can anyone help me out to diagnose the problem??
thank you,

There is nothing in the files. Can you attach the .cir file or print a netlist?

Tip: Look at the slew rate of the opamp. That should allow you to calculate the time at which the output hit +Vcc or -Vcc without simulating it.
 
hi
i am trying to build a circuit that will generate a spike of 10 a crnt with 10000hz freq. but every time i run the simulation it shows convergence problem, and shows the nodes where the problem is occurring. Can you tell me how i can overcome this problem.(please note that... the circuit is running fine in real life)
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
