Germanium Diode in Multisim 11

Hi everybody.

 

Does anyone know where I can find a germanium diode on multisim 11???

If yes can you please post the part number.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi Arturo,

 

In th RF Database, all the tunnel diodes are fabricated on Germanium substrates. In these links you can find the datasheets from their manufacturers:

If you want to use a specific component that you have the SPICE model of, there is always the option of building your own component.

 

Hope this helps,

Mahmoud,

 

  Is there a tutorial for building germanium diodes or a database I can download?  I've tried to build one but it isn't operating the way it's supposed to.

Hi Arturo,

 

Here are some tutorials where you can actually build a Diode Model to match the parameters of your device.

Hello, Damien,

 

Have you got a working model for a tunnel diode for Multisim? if so, would you like share your information with me. I am also trying to build a tunnel diode model in Multisim, so that I can build a simple circuit with a tunnel diode and simulate it with Multisim?

 

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi Zhigang Xiao

 

I suggest you to create a new thread with this issue. This forum is very old and in order to manage and organize database it would be great to have a new discussion forum.

 

Regards.
