Re: step recovery diode in LTspice
Sorry - adding a little more to my previous reply. Regarding this question: " Could you please tell me how to design RF choke (L2)? " How to physically design it is really off-topic for this group.?

Re: Oscillator stops oscillating
My VCO circuit ran fine yesterday after I changed trtol from 2 to 1, but today it stops early again.? I added ".options trtol=1" to the schematic but that didn't help either. What the heck? I just

Re: step recovery diode in LTspice
Thank you so much Andy! I have uploaded another picture (5.png) in this album /g/LTspice/album?id=295221. Could you please tell me how to design RF choke (L2)? Is it just an inductor?

Re: Oscillator stops oscillating
Hi. I had to model an old circuit in LTspice24 (needed to recalculate some things) and it didn't work. I had to force TRTOL=1 to make it work. I came to the conclusion that the previous value of

Re: Oscillator stops oscillating
This group is great, and you folks are the best. Andy nailed it. In Settings trtol was set to 2. I changed it to 1 and now my circuit runs perfectly. A bit of explanation if anyone who cares: First, I

Ethan, I can tell that your file "Winer VCO.asc" simulates well without any changes on my LTspice 17.0.37.0 (with the default Modified Trap integration method)

Re: Oscillator stops oscillating
I'm not where I can test on 24.0.12. But it works fine on LTspice 17.0.35.0, with or without uic. I simply unzipped it and ran the sim. Then removed uic and ran it again. worked fine with or without

If the 555 must be AC-coupled to the comparator, I wonder if C2 is just to small? Andy

Re: Oscillator stops oscillating
Hmm.? I am not seeing any of the behaviors you described, but maybe a setting changed, which affects it. Check your TRTOL setting.? LTspice used TRTOL=1, until version 24 changed it to 2.? If you

Re: Oscillator stops oscillating
I think there s a design fault, but I can't identify it. However, UIC is not your friend (it usually isn't). It works for nearly 0.5 s without UIC.
