Re: LTspice 24.1 Simulation Errors
The symbol file I used was extracted from 74LVC1G.zip. sorry for the typo. Steve

Re: LTspice 24.1 Simulation Errors
I am now running 24.1.3. I just installed 74LVC1G.lib and used symbols from 74LVC.zip found in the "files" section. As long as I connect the power pin to each symbol to VCC, connect VCC to the logic

Re: Weird results DC operating point for Tube amplifier
It's extremely unlikely. Heater temperature varies extremely slowly compared to audio signals. It could result in distortion at very very low frequencies, definitely out of the audio band. Now this

Re: Weird results DC operating point for Tube amplifier
I apologize, it was just a mistake/misunderstanding from mine. Yes, I can say that the output signal waveform looks pretty good (although its mean/average value changes slightly even after 60

Re: Weird results DC operating point for Tube amplifier
OK -- so the question still remains: Does the output signal look "not good at all", as you claimed earlier? Why do you say it doesn't look good?? What about it does not look good? Admittedly it has

Re: Weird results DC operating point for Tube amplifier
Yes, sorry for the confusion, you are right. The averaged voltages & currents about 60 seconds from the beginning of both .TRAN 60 UIC and .TRAN 60 Startup analysis look right. As you highlighted

Re: LTspice 24.1 Simulation Errors
That implies that different code is executed after a certain depth. That doesn't sound like the right thing to do. That "recursive" thing has popped up again. Proper recursive sub-routines should, in

Re: Weird results DC operating point for Tube amplifier
Carlo, I am still confused.? Earlier you wrote that your output signal "doesn't look good at all" with .TRAN 60 UIC. Later you wrote that .TRAN 60 Startup "looks good either".? Huh? To me, they look

Re: LTspice 24.1 Simulation Errors
Hello All: I learned from experience. 24.1 flagged a slew of my user.xxx type .models as bad. And they were; mostly missing spaces between parameters and parenthisis issues. This never happened

Re: Weird results DC operating point for Tube amplifier
Sorry, are you asking whether the audio signal feedback into the heater voltage comes from a design intentional choice ? Actually I don't know since I took it from the schematic of a commercial audio

Re: Weird results DC operating point for Tube amplifier
You're right about that. Andy

Re: LTspice 24.1 Simulation Errors
Well, there may be one caveat.? If I remember correctly, Mike Engelhardt said that parameter values do not descend infinitely far down into their subcircuits, like you think they ought to.? I think

Re: Weird results DC operating point for Tube amplifier
It's been discussed and argued, and stated by Analog Devices's experts with the LTspice code, that LTspice should be entirely deterministic, with no randomness in simulations unless the user actually

Re: Weird results DC operating point for Tube amplifier
Ok, by "bias voltages" you mean actually the mean value of the voltages averaged for instance over a time period of the source signal (e.g. averaged over a 1ms interval for a 1Khz source signal). Near

Re: LTspice 24.1 Simulation Errors
It should be obvious, but due to a typo, it might not be - it should have been: I don't believe that LTspice 24.1 should have complained, if VCC was assigned in the top-level schematic. -- Regards,

Re: LTspice 24.1 Simulation Errors
I don't believe that LTspice 24.1 shouldn't have complained, if VCC was assigned in the top-level schematic. It is not re-defined anywhere in the 74LVC1G library. That being so, it is perfectly legal

Re: Weird results DC operating point for Tube amplifier
I thought I suggested small differences in (a) settings or (b) algorithms.? I do not suggest gremlins in the computer!? :-) Andy

Re: Weird results DC operating point for Tube amplifier
Do you mean your .TRAN ITS solution (i.e. DC operating point) step returns 26V @ -166mA on the heater's pins ? A different timestep employed by .TRAN card for transient analysis can't explain that

Re: Weird results DC operating point for Tube amplifier
(netlist code deleted for brevity) Yes, that is the heater's model.? But there is also a "connection" from inside that netlist code, to the triode.? Presumably, that connection brings the heater's

Re: Weird results DC operating point for Tube amplifier
What I mean is, what do the steady-state DC voltages look like, and are they correct or incorrect for your circuit?? I was not referring to the INITIAL voltages at the start of the transient
