Just a brief blog today to make sure you were aware that PSpice 16.6 now provides 64-bit data precision by default. This ensures a higher precision compared to the 32-bit data. For example, when a very small amplitude voltage is superimposed on a large voltage, the resulting voltage loses its resolution, displaying staircase waveforms. With 64-bit precision, for the same signal, a perfect ramp waveform is displayed.
Here’s a simulation output with the 32-bit data precision set (notice the staircase style of output):
Now, change the Probe Data option to 64-bit:
Here’s the resulting waveform (notice the smooth results):
I look forward to your feedback!
