Re: Determining the value of a variable at time t-1
LTspice DOES NOT generate values at uniform sample times. So, "previous sample" (in the context of LTspice computation) makes little sense.

If you do want to evaluate in terms of a sampled data system, then you need to add a sample "clock" to your circuit and a sample/hold to the circuit. Then, process the S/H output. Jim Wagner Oregon Research Electronics ----- Original Message -----

Re: import Touchstone file (s2p) to LTSpice
Look at the line that starts the definition of the subcircuit.
? ? .SUBCKT 06HPR33 1 2 3 You will notice that the subcircuit has 3 external nodes (1 2 3). The native inductor has only two external nodes. You cannot use the inductor symbol and assign this subcircuit to it because of the node mismatch. If you look in the Files section of this group, ? Files > Tut > S-Parameter > S-Parameter to SPICE you will find a symbol file for a 2-port device (S2PORT.asy). Your s-parameter file is a 2-port file as designated by the extension .s2p. You will notice that the 2-port symbol has three external nodes. Two of them connect to the nodes in your circuit where you would connect the inductor. The third node is ground. ? ? ________________________________ From: ayman_hendawy <ayman_hendawy@...> To: LTspice@...

Integrate and dump signal
Hi all, I would like to create the integrate and dump in LTspice (the same with integrate and dump block in Matlab). I can create the integrate by the equivalent idt() with bv.asv. However, I do not know how to dump the signal. Is there any one know how to do please help? Thanks

Hello Kevin, This topic comes up regularly (last week in fact). The solution to this is once you have adjusted the scales to your satisfaction, save the plot settings: - Make sure the plot window is active - Menu=>Plot Settings=>Save Plot Settings - After each simulation, Menu=>Plot Settings=>Reload Plot Settings It is very helpful to assign a hot key to this command - many people use the spacebar. To do this, from the control panel (hammer icon): Waveforms tab=>Hot Keys You can assign a large number of menu commands to hot keys; many are pre-assigned, by default. Regards, Tony |
Re: A TVS does not work with load dump test??
Important intuitive point - TVS does not have sharp breakdown like a zener.
Note, carefully Bordodynov's specs. Breakdown (probably at 10-100mA) of 26.7V to 29.5V. Conduction voltage rises 9V by the time the conduction current rises to 15.4A. Of course, no ordinary zener can handle that sort of current. Jim Wagner Oregon Research Electronics On Jul 9, 2013, at 11:03 PM, §¡§Ý§Ö§Ü§ã§Ñ§ß§Õ§â §¢§à§â§Õ§à§Õ§í§ß§à§Ó wrote: All you get it right.
