Re: Current Dependent Voltage Source
" ? rmoreno.phone" asked how to enter a table of measured values for her/his CCVS.Vlad might have had the table descriptions a little bit confused with respect to your question, because I think the data you have is voltage/current values, not voltage/time values.? You wanted a controlled or dependent source, not an independent source. Using SPICE's built-in H element (current controlled voltage source or CCVS), LTspice *MIGHT* have the ability to accept a table of current/voltage values.? See the Help pages for E (VCVS) and G (VCCS) elements.? A table is listed as an option. ?"A look-up table is used to specify the transfer function." ?The same 'table' description is not listed for the F (CCCS) and H (CCVS) elements.? I am not sure if that was an omission on those Help pages, or if that option really doesn't exist for those two controlled sources.? The "LTwiki" () is where I usually go when I have questions about the Help pages.? Unfortunately, the LTwiki also doesn't show a table option for the CCVS.? That leads me to believe that you can't use a table with the standard CCVS element. But LTspice's B-elements can do that and much more. Here is from the Help page for B-elements: ? table(x,a,b,c,d,...) ??Interpolate a value for x based on a look up table given as a set of pairs of
points. Start with a Bv symbol, then right-click on "V=F(...)" and edit it.? I think (but could be wrong) it should look like this when you are done: V=Table( I(V4), 0mA, 0V, 1mA, 1mV, 2mA, 1.9mV, 3mA, 2.5mV ...) where I(V4) means the current measured through V4 (this is your controlling current), and the pairs that come next, are the (current, voltage) pairs that you measured. I have rarely used the Table() functions in LTspice, so please excuse my inexperience with them. Regards, Andy |

LT1171 model: syncronization not working
I am trying to make a negative buck regulator with LT1171, based on the circuit given on page 13 of the LT1170/71/72 datasheet. I am trying to add clock syncronization as shown on page 11 of the same datasheet (the FET-controlled version, for now)
According to the datasheet: >?Synchronizing occurs when the VC pin is pulled to ground > with an external transistor. To avoid disturbing the DC > characteristics of the internal error amplifier, the width of > the synchronizing pulse should be under 0.3¦Ìs.? > ... >?The transistor?must be capable of pulling the VC pin to within 200mV of > ground to ensure synchronizing. When I model this circuit in LTSpice, I find that although I pull VC ?below GND (the same potential as the LT1171 GND pin, actually at -18 V in this circuit) with repetition frequency 138 kHz and 0.1 us pulse width, the switching current doesn't synchronize with this signal. I've uploaded my ASC file to the Temp directory as Neg Buck 20160803.zip. ? If anyone has experience with this part, can you tell me, * Does the LT1171 spice model include the synchronization feature? * Or am I just doing something wrong? Side question: * Can anyone recommend a surface mount equivalent to the VN2222 FET recommended in the datasheet circuit? And is an LTSpice model available? (it seems that capacitive shoot through from the control signal to the VC pin can be an issue when using a poorly chosen FET here) Thanks! (For the search engines: this question might also be interesting to people working with LT1070, LT1071, LT1072, LT1170, or LT1172) |

Re: Mechanical switch
Hi, :
I found a article talking about the breakdown voltage when arcing happens. At here: (of course, I am not good at this, it's just discussed. Not sure what's the exact correct answer.) From the article, it says through the Paschen's law, it could decide the breakdown voltage depends on the distance & gas pressure.It's not linearity. So under some certain situation (fixed pressure, distance), in the instantaneous time point of the switch on -> off, the contact point where arcing happens should be the most tendency point referring to the "Paschen curve" where pd product is the value at which the breakdown voltage is the lowest. So the breakdown voltage is able to be estimated, the current flowing through the inductor should be continuous ,supposed it's Ipeak, the instantaneous energy stored in the inductor is 1/2*L*Ipeak^2, and this energy should dissipated through the arcing time, which it's supposed to be V(t)*I(t)*dt (V(0)=breakdown voltage, I(0)=Ipeak, t=0 when arcing happens). Otherwise, maybe there is another path which also consumes the energy. Just for simple reference. Appreciate for any opinion to discuss this, so far , I can't find any further article which talking about this on internet. (But I really like to know more about this.) Best regards. ? |
