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.

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
I have received a response from Linear (not Mike - I think he must be on holiday).

Basically, what they say is that the behaviour is as expected, and related to the undervoltage lockout on Vcc, which is connected to the regulated output in this circuit, and that this is operating the device somehow incorrectly because of that.

However, the LTspice simulation is almost exactly the same as the application circuit in the datasheet (with the exception that the output is not floating), and the simulation would suggest it won't work as published with 5% resistors.

The datasheet says: the minimum Vcc voltage is 5V, and that the regulated DC voltage must be above this if it supplies Vcc directly, or an overvoltage condition can occur. So, this is kind of a known "feature". With zero tolerance resistors, the calculated regulated output voltage is (1 + 4.42k/604)*599.6mV, which is 4.987V, so this is never going to work in the real world.

This is what the LT response actually said:
"Alright the jig circuit shows that you can use 4.42KOhm, and it is not suppose to take that as the real design. If you want the design close to the scenario, you need to go through from more realistic perspective.

Anyway, the model is right, and the jig is right. If you argue that the circuit is not a robust design, that is not the issue of the model. Many times our jig circuits show simplified setup, for example, more ideal magnetic devices, no ESL of sensing resistor, down sized soft-start cap, etc. It is there for user to quickly pick up the fundamental features of the part, and we encourage users to design their applications based on that."

For what it's worth, I modified the schematic so that the Vcc pin was fed from a separate 5V supply and reduced the feedback resistor to 4k1 (from 4k42), and the output did regulate properly at 4.67V.

Hope that helps somebody.

Regards,
Tony
I have managed to separate Vcc pin to 5V as Tony suggested.
Now my feedback resistor is 2.7k , Vout plateau is 3.28V at 0.3ohm load.
Now it makes sense

Olek A.


Re: POW(X,Y) doesn¡¯t work in a function directive with the x**y syntax

 

Hello Didier

The reason for that is because of the syntax for .func, it should be by the book:
.func f(x) {...}
not f(x)=...

There may also be some outdated symbols/libraries. I'll make the changes and update the files with the correct syntax later (but possibly much later).

A capacitor, or an inductor, are susceptance elements.
I think the question is whether one can enter a susceptance value in a component's properties. I'm sure this isn't possible, but;

a) you never know what is in fact possible in LTspice;

b) you can overcome it because you can calculate the capacitance C or inductance L that has susceptance B at frequency f quite easily:

C = B/(2pi*f), L = 1/(2pi*f*B).

Elastance, anyone? (;-)

You might want to make sure they have no parasitic resistances, so that
your component has only susceptance and no conductance. Unless you also
