Hi,
I am trying to simulate a circuit and it a very important parameter is the power disippation ( and the current) on the load. I noticed that I have completely different readouts when I put 100k for the load resistor and 0.1M . In any case M makes big differece with k even if the value is practically the same.
Has anyone encountered the same problem? How did you solved it and which reading is to be trusted?

D.
 

actually orcad would try to compensate for tolerances and using 0.1 M rather than 100K makes a bigger tolerance
 

Ok, understandable, but I get completely different readings! How Can I avoid this is the question.

D.
 

Use 'meg' to refer mega and not 'M' as PSPICE treat 'M' as milli.

That's why you get a big difference.
