Re: Simulation runs very slowly: test.asc
I¡¯d be interested in whatever you find, and hope that the transistor-based model you mentioned and I saw works more like an actual LM317. Sent: Saturday, April 5, 2025 5:28 PM To: [email protected]

Re: Simulation runs very slowly: test.asc
I didn't check the LM317A. I hadn't appreciated this was a new device. Traditionally, the "A" suffix denoted a tightened tolerance of the basic device. More recently, TI started using it for

Thanks Tony. Yes, there¡¯s the LT3080 and its ilk as well as many others. Appreciate your forthcoming effort in checking what you have and uploading it. Sent: Friday, April 4, 2025 6:46 PM To:

Re: Simulation runs very slowly: test.asc
Agree with the ¡°precise¡± correction. To make a current source, a positive supply is connected to the LM317¡¯s IN pin, a resistor R is connected between OUT and ADJ, and the ADJ pin is connected

Certainly room for improvement, but FAR better than squinting at the screen to read the net names, or worse, hovering the probe, because I haven¡¯t assigned all of them yet! Sent: Saturday, April 05,

Re: .MEAS scripting
'text' in this context may mean a specific character set, such as 'Extended ASCII'. I've not found a way to put Greek letters in any LTspice text, but some people seem to be able to. Apart form '?',

Re: Simulation runs very slowly: test.asc
The other ones I have are decent enough. I'll check them against the datasheet, before uploading anything. TBH, you can do a lot better than the LM317 these days. -- Regards, Tony
