Re: PWM Timing Causing Shoot-thru
It's not the model that's missing, it the symbol: IR2110.asy. -- Regards, Tony

Re: PWM Timing Causing Shoot-thru
Please read carefully.? You did not upload the SYMBOL file, which is *IR2110.asy*.? That file is missing from the .zip that you uploaded.? Having the model file does no good when the symbol file

Re: using LTSPICE symbols for representation of spice netlist of OPAMP
No you can't use the normal op-amp symbol directly, because of that extra pin.? The normal op-amp symbol is "opamp2", and it works for the majority of op-amps.? But not this one. Here is something

Re: using LTSPICE symbols for representation of spice netlist of OPAMP
Yes, you can take a standard symbol, edit the attributes, and save it as a "new" *.asy file. Easy peasy.

Re: 12AU7 tube heater model
The model is obviously seriously wrong. I really can't see why a simple formula Rhot = Rcold*(1 +aT + bT^2)? could not be used. That can't possibly 'blow up'. T = Thot - Tcold.

Hi Andy! I am still checking this thread. I did include *IR2110.sub* in the zip file. I just downloaded my zip, extracted it to a folder and was able to run the simulation without any issues. You are

Re: 12AU7 tube heater model
Hmm.? Define "zero ohms".? :-) The current through the G-source can become zero, which it does when the voltage across it is zero.? It isn't zero ohms in that case. I suppose it could become zero

Re: 12AU7 tube heater model
I see; the notation is confusing. But is the synthetic resistor then allowed to be zero ohms? -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG antivirus software. www.avg.com

using LTSPICE symbols for representation of spice netlist of OPAMP
Hello, In ltspice there are many modles and I like to use the standart symbols to represent the model. When I create model from a netlist at worst I use a recrangle with pins? and at best I try to

Re: 12AU7 tube heater model
Carlo, In your latest uploaded file (12AU7heater.zip), try this:? Plot V(n001)/I(I1), which shows the effective resistance of the Heater.? Change the .DC sweep past 160m, to 200m.? (.dc I1 120m

Re: 12AU7 tube heater model
Ah ok. The point is that, by removing both the independent current source I1 and the G-source Ghot from the overall topology, the topology check realizes that there is the series/string of R:U1:cool

It is in the numerator. There are no parentheses around " (42 - 6.2)*v(u1:hb,0) ".? Only " (42 - 6.2) " is in the denominator. Andy

Re: 12AU7 tube heater model
I think you are confused about nodenames. There is no U1:H2 node. U1:H2 is a portion of the names of elements R:U1:H2 and C:U1:H2.? There is nothing named U1:H2, neither a node nor an element. In the

Re: 12AU7 tube heater model
The term v(u1:hb,0) is in the denominator of the function and I think it is zero at startup.

Hmm.? That is a necessary requirement to get anything resembling the right frequency in the simulated waveforms.? But it does not get you a good spectrum from which you can estimate distortion.?

Re: Looking for advice on TRAN timing

In my opinion, those are good choices.? I prefer to keep the timestep smaller than 1% of the period, and sometimes I make it 0.1% or smaller.? It depends on how low I want the artifacts to be, and
