SPICE-Library for PSPICE (Orcad)
for TDK Electronics AG : PCM.lib
Version 1.01
assembled on (Wed May 26 10:07:52 CEST 2021)
This SPICE library contains all models for
Power Cube Metal Inductors
Cube-shape package 15 x 14 mm (incl. terminals)
Current capability up to 80A
Soft saturation
Operating temperature -55 ... +165°C
These linear models are suited for DC, AC and Transient-
simulations. Accurate results can be expected below
the first resonant frequency. Using these models
outside its specification can lead to false results.
The models describe the behaviour of typical
elements. Please keep in mind, that real components
can vary in the range given in the datasheets.

Installation of PCM Model Library
===============================================================
The model library of PCM (Power Cube Metal Inductors) for the
circuit design program PSpice Schematics, version 6.1 and following
and Cadence ORCAD Capture comprises the following three files:
PCM.LIB ASCII data file:
This file respresents the actual library and
contains the data required for simulation.
PCM.SLB Symbol data file:
This file contains the terminal/graphics information
required by the graphic user interface "Schematics"
PCM.OLB Symbol data file:
This file contains the terminal/graphics information
required by the graphic user interface "Orcad Capture"
To install the library you must copy the a.m. files into
a ORCAD working directory (e.g. \LIB or \UserLib)
PSpice Schematics:
The library files must then be activated under PSpice.
Proceed as follows to install the PCM library:
1. Start PSpice
Install library file PCM.LIB as permanent library
("ADD LIBRARY*") in submenu (version 9.1)
ANALYSIS -> LIBRARY AND INCLUDE FILES ...
BROWSE.. (choose PCM.LIB)
.. ADD*
.. OK
ATTENTION: Add without asterisk ("*") is a local include
only for this actual simulation task.
2. Install symbol data file PCM.SLB for the
"Schematics" graphic interface in submenu
OPTIONS -> EDITOR CONFIGURATION -> LIBRARY SETTINGS
BROWSE.. (choose PCM.LIB) .. ADD* .. OK
Cadence ORCAD Capture:
The library files have to be included in ORCAD Capture
Proceed as follows to install the PCM library:
1a. Use the delivered precompiled PCM.OLB
or
1b. Start Cadence ORCAD Capture
Translate the library files PCM.SLB
as ORCAD library (PCM.OLB):
FILE -> Import Design -> PSpice -> Open ...
BROWSE.. (choose PCM.SLB)
.. OK (version 10.5)
2. Adding the components to your project:
Open your project -> open a schematic
PLACE -> PART... -> Add Library...
(choose PCM.OLB)
place component with OK.
3. Install the library PCM.LIB for simulation:
PSPICE -> Edit Simulation Profile -> Configuration
Files -> Category Library
BROWSE.. (choose PCM.LIB)
ADD as Global/to Design
OK
