Re: Schematic drawing issues
Just reporting that in 24.1.5, and using my 65 inch 4k screen....
?
When adding a wire, I can very faintly see the extended crosshairs and cursor.
So faintly are the crosshairs that LTspice 24.1.5 is unusable with my 65 inch screen.
?
I can see the cursor as long as I don't add a wire. |
Re: diode search tool
As a first step, did you try searching through all the diode models that come with LTspice itself?
?
It has them all collected together already, in a format that makes it simple to search for near-equivalents.? It's about a million times easier than coming combing through 20 years of scattered models, and somehow figuring out what characteristics you want to search for and how to do that.

Re: LMR51606 for LTSpice
开云体育No, you can't use it. If TI will not supply an
unencrypted model (probably because the device uses a secret
trick), you can get TI's PSPICE for free, and run the simulation
in that.? The chances of finding a model elsewhere are very low. On 2025-03-13 10:49, Tino B?hme via

Re: Chan model for saturable transformer LTSPICE simulation
#Transformer
Your transformer model is not correct. You have also set a very high voltage for such a small core. Here is my transformer model. See the file NonLinearTransformer_pulse_AB2.zip in the TEMP folder. |

If you do a search of the Files area of this group's site with the term "diode model", you will get 610 hits. Not all of them are actual diode models, but some of them are. If you are more specific with a device name, your hit rate will be better. It's not actually that difficult to make a diode model yourself, and there is already a semi-automatic model generator in the files area too. It's not perfect, but model it produces are as good as many manufacturers' models. It's also fairly easy to do this in a spreadsheet (I have one). A key thing to remember with surfing for models, is that there is no guarantee they are accurate - many you find are anonymous, and manufacturers' models are not always good. The onus is always on the user to verify the models they use. --

Re: diode search tool
thanks for the reply.
?
since ltspice community has built by now a massive list of diodes, and similarly with components that include the ones provided by ltspice itself, i think we must have a software tool that can use this database to provide search facilities.
?
in this regard, if i find a few people here, we can jointly start working on an open-source tool for the same. we can start working on it fro? scratch if necessary, but diode and transistors can be a starting point.

request to reply if interested anyone. |
Re: Issue with Nexperia BUK7S1R0-40H PET LTspice model
开云体育That error message sometimes appears when
there is quite a different problem. It probably doesn't happen
often enough for tracking down the reason and fixing it to be
worthwhile. Examine your .ASC carefully, and check the
attributes of all the components. I wish the error message could be a bit more informative, by giving the numbers of pins, like this: Port(pin) count mismatch between the definition of subcircuit "buk7s1r0-40h" (3 pins) and instance "xu1" (2 pins) --

Re: diode search tool
Many manufacturers have diode equivalency charts, or part selector guides, on their websites.? ?You can parameterize your searches and come up with similar parts according to some criterion.
?
Have you tried that?
?
If you could not find any, try harder.
?
They might be less common for simple parts such as diodes (versus ICs), but I can assure you they do exist.

I'm confused. Why do you want to find an alternate diode model model that is similar to one that you already have? Or, did you mean an alternate diode? Perhaps if you could clarify, preferably by specifying the diode you want to use. --

Re: LM121 model??
Andy,
?
You are correct, of course.? The original LM321 (as well as the LM121 and LM221) is described as a "Precision Preamplifier" in the 1976 to 1982 linear data books, as far as I've been able to determine.? The newer LM321 is more like 1/4 of an LM324.? Could you imagine if Signetics had decided to assign NE555 to, say, a new voltage regulator??
?
Regardless, I've uploaded the original LM121, etc. data sheet from the National 1980 Linear Data Book and the application note, AN-79, from the 1978 Linear Applications Handbook.? They're in the file LM121-221-321.zip.? No SPICE model, though.? Sorry!
