Device Models |
The device model file begins with a dot model statement.
For example:
|
| Show Slide:
Introduction |
The model components are already added in eSim.
The model library files added using the Upload option will be saved in the User Libraries folder under deviceModelLibrary directory. The model library files are used with the components present in eSim underscore Devices. You can also refer to the spice models available in the Ngspice manual. |
| System Computer:
Desktop icon |
To launch eSim, you need to double-click on the eSim icon on your Desktop. |
| System Computer:
eSim startup window |
I have already opened eSim. |
| Show Slide:
Code File |
Pause the video here.
Download the Schottky diode 1N5711 library file from the Code file section available on this page. Save it on your Desktop with dot lib extension. |
| eSim Main Window:
Click on Model Editor |
On the eSim window, click on the Model Editor button from the left toolbar.
In the previous tutorial, we have seen how to add a Device model using the New option. Now, we will add a Device model library using the Upload option. |
| Model Editor tab:
Click Upload >> Click on Desktop>> click on Schottky_diode.lib >> click Open |
On the Model Editor tab, click on the Upload button.
I have already downloaded the Schottky diode IN5711 model and saved it on my Desktop. Click on the Desktop. Click on the Schottky dot lib file. Click on the Open button.
|
| Model Editor tab:
Type New Model Name as Schottky >> click OK |
A pop-up window Model Name will appear.
In the Enter Model Library Name, type new model name as Schottky. Click on the OK button. The device model Schottky and its xml file will be saved under the User libraries folder. |
| eSim Main Window: | Let us simulate the characteristics of Schottky diode.
We will open the example Diode Characteristics from the eSim Examples folder. |
| eSim Main Window:
Click on Open Project from the top toolbar >> Double click on eSim-2.0 >> Click on Examples>> select Diode_characteristics >> click Open. |
On the eSim window, click on the Open Project option from the top menu.
Locate the directory where the eSim is installed. Click on the Examples folder. Scroll down and select the Diode underscore characteristics. Click on the Open button. The Diode characteristics example is added to the eSim window under Projects. |
| eSim Main Window:
Select Diode_Characteristics under Projects>> Click on the Open Schematic>> Click Yes |
To see the schematic, select Diode characteristics.
Click on the Open Schematic button from the left toolbar. It directs us to the schematic editor. |
| eSim Schematic editor:
Press F1 key. |
Press F1 key to zoom in the schematic. |
| eSim Main Window:
Select Diode_characteristics>> click on Convert Kicad to Ngspice |
Let us go back to the eSim window.
On the eSim window,select the Diode underscore characteristics. Click on the Convert Kicad to Ngspice button from the left toolbar. |
| Kicad to Ngspice Converter:
Analysis Tab >> Select DC Enter the values. |
In the Analysis tab, select DC.
Scroll down to enter values. Enter Source 1 as V1. Enter Start as 0. Enter Increment as 0.1. Enter Stop as 0.4. |
| Kicad to Ngspice Converter:
Source Details Tab: Enter 1 for DC source V1. |
In the Source Details tab, enter the value as 1. |
| Kicad to Ngspice Converter:
Device Modeling Tab Click on ADD>> Double click on User Libraries folder>> click on 'Schottky.lib file>> click Open. |
Skip the Ngspice Model tab.
Click on the Device Modeling tab. Click on the ADD button. Double-click on the User Libraries folder. Select Schottky dot lib file and click on the Open button. |
| Kicad to Ngspice Converter:
Click on Convert>> Click OK |
On the Kicad to Ngspice tab, click on the Convert button.
Click on the OK button in the Information dialog box. |
| eSim Main Window:
Click on Simulation. |
Now, let us generate the plots.
On the eSim window, click on the Simulation button from the left toolbar. |
| Ngspice Window:
Maximize the i(v_u1) ngspice plot. Hover the mouse on X-axis to point voltage. Hover the mouse on Y-axis to point current. |
The diode has a knee voltage or turn-on voltage of around 0.2.
The forward current is 95 microampere. These diodes are used in power rectification applications. Close the Ngspice terminals and plots. |
| Python Plot Window:
Check In and Out node>> click Plot |
In the Python plot window, check the In and Out nodes.
Then click on the Plot button. You can see the input and output plot. Close the Python plot. |

Summary |
Let us now summarise.
In this tutorial, we learnt to create Schottky Diode using Upload option. |
