Re: Separate from .CKT for .lib file

 

Anything is possible if you know what you are doing. Why not post your files by uploading them to the \Temp folder. That way we are in a better position to help you. Best method is to combine the into a ".zip" file. DO NOT use any other form of compression. Thanks.


Separate from .CKT for .lib file

 

Hi
I got a .CKT file and .lib file of photodiode and transimpedance amplifier.
I know how to make spice model from these files.
However, I want to separate transimpedance amplifier part from the .CKT file or .lib file.
Is it possible to separate?
The lib file has many raw data which are unknown to me.

Hi.? Just downloaded, looking forward to trying it out tomorrow.

Writing here as I noticed this beta includes better path support for libraries, right after writing about the use of environment variables (as suggested a couple years ago by somebody) in another post.? It's probably too late for this release but maybe there is a better or at least parallel way that allows better portability.? See my post, here.

So glad to see that AD/LT are still giving LTspice some love with new releases. I'd be so dissapointed if it were canned in favor of the AD/SIMPLIS EE Oasis. As much as I do like SIMPLIS's speed (used it with TI and standalone) I always choose LTspice over it, the propretary models are so trustworthy.
LTspice already supports environmental variables though the operating system calls it uses. Unfortunately, though, it doesn't acknowledge this if you try to view a model file linked by:

.lib ModelFileName.sub

.. when used with, for example, an environmental variable called %MyModelLibs% that is listed in Settings > Search Paths > Library Search Paths. However, in practice, LTspice still finds ModelFileName.sub, provided it really does exist in the folder pointed to by %MyModelLibs%, when an analysis is run.

Rather unhelpfully, LTspice tells you that %MyModelLibs% doesn't exist when you add it to Settings > Search Paths > Library Search Paths, but you can override this and tick "Add it anyway".

It is not precisely a broken link.? I think the Beta version was taken down a couple of weeks ago, probably while Analog Devices works out the bugs.

I did not see any confirmation of that, but I think it is the most likely reason why.

I have heard nothing about a newer Beta version yet, so I guess it's just wait and see until ADI has one ready for the masses.

You should use d(Vds)/d(Id) because it is a non-linear function.

My recent experience with One Drive is that it is clunky, and does all sorts of weird things to your file access for at leat 10 days. At one point, it deleted about half my Desktop short-cuts, of which I have many.? It put them back two days later, scattered at random among those that were not deleted.
