Model for Diac in Orcad 9.2

[isurunalaka]

Is there a Diac model in Orcad 9,2 like resistors,capasitors and so on. If not could you please give me a model for a Diac with netlist code?

Best regards!

Search the web. I found this one:

.subckt diac 1 2 
*Based on BR100 measured data
*Convergence problems often occur with this model
*If you have a better model please tell me
Vdummy 1 5 dc 0

.ends diac

Dr Keith, I'm new to Orcad. So, could you please tell me what component can be used to implement this code and used as a Diac for simulation purposes? I think EVALUE block cant be used for this task right? I have seen some blocks in Multisim package, that can be work as a desired model component when it is loaded with relevant Netlist command log . Is there a method also in Orcad like in Multisim?

Sorry, I don't use Orcad for simulation. The model is a subcircuit so you need to make a 2 port subcircuit - there may be standard ones in the Orcad Pspice library - I am not sure.
