Hello analogspiceman,

Thanks a lot for collecting all the mile stones.

I always wonder that 1999 was the "birth" of LTspice.
I personally discovered that LTspice is a SPICE program in
the summer 2001. I still believe that I was one of the early
adopters using it as a general SPICE program. Also the
discussions about LTspice started in 2001 in the usenet, sci.electronics.design and sci.electronics.cad.

Best regards,
Helmut

Hello,

Running an dc/dc example named 3765.asc with slightly lowered feedback resistor (4.42 --> 4.2k) gives Vout appr. several times bigger than expected.
Just the opposite what we should expect while lowering the feedback resistor.
It can be even dangerous to the sensitive load.

Why it behaves this way ?
Hello,

Well spotted. I have tried this distribution example circuit on two machines, and it behaves as you describe.

I swept the feedback resistor from 4k1 to 4k3 in 10R steps and found that the LTC3766 transitions from closed loop to open loop behaviour when the value goes below 4210R. Whether this a model error or not, I don't know, but the example circuit is clearly unsatisfactory.

I have reported this as a bug to Mike.

Regards,
Tony

Nobody can answer this because you gave us no information. Try uploading

Re: Changing the mutual inductance coefficient of K statements with time

 

Thank you for pointing that out.
?
I made a mistake in the syntax when I typed it in the message. Yes there is only one pair of inductors in my circuit. Otherwise I would have used Kx (K1, K2,... Kn) in my statement.?

cheers,

Hello all,

I am in need of an LTSpice IC model of UC1834 (TI). Anyone who has ever come across one, kindly reply.

It is quite good.

For the moment, I try to understand how does work my amp with LTSpice.
Actually, after an error in handling, one channel failed and activated
a protection circuit (too much quiescent on one output stage polarity).
I tried to fix this but I failed and ordered a complete replacement
PCB. But I am curious and like to understand things. So I drawn the
circuit in LTSpice from the PCB and could not understand it in some places.
Please upload the circuit (we use the US term ''schematic' on this list)
to Files => Temp on the list's web site:



I asked Bob Cordell some help but he was to busy and answer me to read
chapter 1-4 from his book. OK. In fact, in LTSpicen there is almost no
quiescent current in output stage and the VBE spreader does not work at
all. I thought that some models where not correct but I don't know. I'm
deadlocked.
I expect we can help once we see the schematic.

My source files without any corrections you simulated?
Yes, I deleted the first download and downloaded the zip again, opened it and saved all five files to Desktop. I made no changes. The 'Unknown subckt...' error occurred. I opened Core.lib with UltraEdit and copied the .subckt Winding0 to the schematic as a Spice directive. The simulation then ran.

Just to see what would happen, I converted the directive to a comment and the simulation did not run, giving the 'Unknown subckt...' error.

I am using Windows XP SP3, but I don't believe this has anything to do with Windows.

Material permeability is directly related to inductance of the sample, if only the frequency changes in the test.

RL,

I understand that, but there is no function of frequency shown at that link. If you don't think that is the case, double check it.
