Temperature

Temperature Analysis

DR. SPICE allows you to set temperature for the entire circuit or for individual devices.

Using .OPTION

Use the following form to set temperature over the entire circuit; all specified simulations are performed at this temperature.

.OPTION temp=<temperature>

Example:

.OPTION temp=100

Using the temp Variable in the Element

To set temperature on an individual device, type temp=<temperature> after the device model name in the element statement, as shown in the following examples.

Examples:

R1 1 2 10K RMOD TEMP=100 QTEST 3 2 1 Q2N2222 TEMP=85

Using the SPICE2 .TEMP Statement

DR. SPICE also supports the SPICE2 .TEMP command.

Example:

.TEMP -55 25 125

This example sets up the circuit simulation at -55 °C, 25 °C, and 125 °C.
