Re: Help converting UCC5304 simplis model into LTSPICE
Hello, I want to test also the suggested UCC21220A.
But its for PSPICE.What could be done to convert it properly into LTSPICE?
Or i just need to treat it like LTSPICE and use the create symbol in the subcircuit?
Thanks.

Re: Behavioral voltage source sweep frequency
Yes. you can't use ^ fro exponentiation in
LTspice,, except in Laplace expressions. Use **.

Re: Behavioral voltage source sweep frequency
The other problem is that you used the wrong formula for a varying frequency.
Yes it seems to be that "sin(pi*20e3*time*time)" would result in a frequency equal to "time".? But that is incorrect, unless the variable "time" is a constant with a time-derivative of zero.? It's the mathematically wrong formula.? Don't get me wrong; you will get a frequency that isn't fixed and changes over time, and maybe that's "good enough" for you, but its frequency is not the value of "time".
Use LTspice's Modulate function instead, and give it a voltage (on its "FM" input pin) that varies linearly with time.? That has the desired result.

I guess you forgot that "^" means exclusive-OR, not? exponent
(except in Laplace).

For Spice it did not applied for FET but for BJT.? Can be used for oscillator and filter built using op-amp?

Yeah I want an actual purpose-built transimpedance amplifier like OPA855 from Texas Instruments, LTC6268-10 from Analog Devices. However, these can not meet my bandwidth requirements for gate mode circuit (in my case). Thus, I am looking for spice models from other companies, however, they do not have (or provide) spice model for their high speed TIA. According to your comments "It is possible to make a generic TIA model, but probably not easy to make one that mimics characteristics of an actual part. ?The answer depends on how closely you need the model to approach the actual part. ?A generic model would lack things like nonlinear behavior. ?Datasheets might not tell you enough about that. ?But that's just my opinion." Yeah I feel that you are right.

Re: Conditional PWL Current Source

Prior to your suggestion, I did not know that .param statements could do IF().

It helps here to read the Help page for the .PARAM command.? It is all documented there. There might be other shortcuts for temporarily disabling the PWL() section for running a simulation, if that is what you are trying to do.? One is to use a parameter for the "high" current level, instead of 1 Amp.? Then change only the parameter assignment.? Another one, though somewhat kludgy, is to right-click on the PWL text next to the current source, and change it from this: ? ? pwl(0 0 48.2m 0 repeat forever (0 0 +20n 1 +11.99998m 1 +20n 0 +11.99998m 0) endrepeat)to this: ? ? 0 ; pwl(0 0 48.2m 0 repeat forever (0 0 +20n 1 +11.99998m 1 +20n 0 +11.99998m 0) endrepeat)by adding "0 ;" before the PWL() part.? The ";" character is a comment character.? LTspice ignores everything after it.? So that changes it from a PWL current source to a 0 Amp source, while leaving all the text still in place where it can be restored later. Andy

Re: Conditional PWL Current Source
Hello All,
?
Tony, thank you.
Mine was the latter.
I simply need to disable the four pacing current sources, and maybe enable others, before running the sim.
I tried doing IF() inside the PWL statement and that did not work.
Prior to your suggestion, I did not know that .param statements could do IF().
This opens a whole new world of controllability that I had not previously understood.

Thank You

I-sources cannot be behavioural, thus cannot be changed while the analysis is running. Do you need to do that, or can your analysis be .stepped with different conditions applied to each step?
If the latter:
pwl(0 0 48.2m 0 repeat forever (0 0 +20n {OnCurrent1} +11.99998m {OnCurrent1} +20n 0 +11.99998 0) endrepeat)
..
.param OnCurrent1 if(Condition1, 1, 0)
..
..etc
If you want to change dynamically, you will have to use B-sources, or a switch matrix. I uploaded a version using a switch that might meet your need.
If you have complex combinatorial conditions, you might want to read up on the State Machine feature.

Leon wrote, " just setting the vt and vh on the spice line,right?" Yes, they can go on any of these lines:
- Value

- SpiceLine

If there is no value for "vt" then it defaults to (Vhigh+Vlow)/2. Put an "X" in the "Vis." column (by double-clicking there) to also make that attribute visible on the schematic. Andy

Re: Build spice model of transimpedance amplifier
marcel wrote, " (OPA170 PSpice lib file)."
Of course that is an ordinary op-amp, not a transimpedance amp.
Most op-amps with feedback turn into transimpedance amps, so you might say that every op-amp can also be a transimpedance amplifier.

Leon,
I did as you did in your photo (ΞĻ”XÈ¡®‹Ãæ 2024-05-21 174809.png), and it worked for me.
Of course since it is a Schmitt device, it has hysteresis so it has different actual thresholds (not quite at 50%) for rising and falling edges, unless you also changed Vh (hysteresis) to 0.

Re: Build spice model of transimpedance amplifier
Oddly, some of (what are now) Analog Device's TIAs do not seem to show up within their TIA section of the product selection pages, making their product selections incomplete.
I might be wrong, but it appears that ADI has rearranged their product selection pages and made them more difficult to navigate, as well as incomplete and maybe wrong.? Arrgh!

Re: Build spice model of transimpedance amplifier
Mirza wrote, "Yeah I know that LTspice has several op amps."
No, that's not what I said.? What I said is that LTspice has transimpedanca amps, which are not op-amps.? Do any of Analog Device's transimpedance amps meet your requirements?
Did you look them up in LTspice?
I'm NOT talking about op-amps, even though you might find their SPICE models within the [OpAmps] section of LTspice.

All,
The VISHAY VOMDA1271 device simulates correctly.
The VISHAY LH1262 device fails due to a defective spice model.
The VISHAY VO1263 device fails due to a defective spice model.
I have submitted all of my simulation files to VISHAY and requested that they correct their spice files.
I will post a reply when I receive a response from VISHAY.
