I'm trying to
use the ISL70444SEH model and a basic circuit to confirm that the
model works correctly before moving on to anything more
complicated. I'm having issues with the simulation. The sim fails
to run and I get the error "Time step to small, etc....".
Any help is appreciated.
It helps if you upload a schematic that actually runs. You have a
".lib ISL70444SEH.lib" directive in the schematic, but the model
file you uploaded is "ISL70444SEH.cir" and there are no analysis
directives.. However, when I change the .lib directive to match the
file name and add a .tran directive, I don't get initially "Time
step to small, etc....". Instead, I get "Analysis failed: Iteration
limit reached", and there are a bunch of errors in the ErrorLog,
concerning the diode models. I am running LTspice 17.1.9, you may
have a different version.
I made minor changes to the model file and added ".options cshunt
1e-14", and the analysis now runs fine. I have uploaded a working
schematic
to
Files > Temp.
You should note that although the datasheet says "unity gain
stable", the circuit is barely stable with 8dB peaking at unity
gain. I added a bit of compensation to help a bit with that.
