Hello Group,

Has anyone experienced problems with the Analog Devices
AD829 spice model available through download from the
analog website (
/techSupport/designTools/spiceModels/license
/spice_general.html?cir=ad829.cir ) ?

All of the models (there are four versions) seem to just
not work - settling with a large offset voltage and not
producing any gain.

I'm trying to model an existing circuit and so I need to
use this part.

Other models / parts that I have imported seem to work
just fine.

Any help appreciated !

Cheers,
Peter.

Peter,

Please upload your design to the Files section (Files > Temp)
for a check.


Your uploaded zip-file should include the

Hi,

I am trying to figure out a way to plot gm/Id for a transistor
within LTspice. I am using as a starting point the schematic in the
example MOSFET parameter sweep, MOS_gm_gmb_gds_ro.asc , within
Examples&#92;Examples&#92;Educational&#92;MOSFET parameter sweep&#92; .

In short, I am stepping the W/L and biasing sources and running .OP
and .AC LIST 1 analysis . The example computes gm, gmb, gds, using
the small-signal values from the AC analysis.

To plot gm/Id I would need to obtain the bias current of the NMOS
transistor, either from the DC current through the voltage sources
or through the device itself. Is there a way to refer to this
current from the waveform viewer, maybe a trick I am missing ? The
Spice Log file lists the device operating point for just one
iteration, so I don't see how to extract the bias information for
the steps, which is obviously being computed prior to the each AC
analysis.

In short, given a sequence of AC analysis, how can I
obtain/extract the bias point information for the circuit/devices,
and if possible refer/use it within the waveform view
when plotting ?

Helmut, can you help ? Mike, are you out there ?
Fellow users, any ideas/work arounds ?

Thanks in advance for any help!

A while ago, I wanted to plot quantities like gm and gm/Id,
and uploaded:



Files:
mos18u.plt
mos18u.asc
gm_over_go.mos18u.plt
gm_over_go.mos18u.asc
TSMC18u_T77A.mod
[among others]

I'm using ideal controlled sources to let the simulation figure out reasonable bias points, and math functions in the plot to obtain derivatives in DC sweeps (if I recall correctly).

Hope that helps
CM

Please upload your .asc schematic file. The .asc schematic file is needed to troubleshoot your simulation.

Hai.. Guys. I'm doing on UcD class D amplifier based on Philip UM10155 . I'm having problem in oscillate the UcD amplifier in order to simulate the desire sine wave . My Vin is 5V sine wave , with the frequency of 1K. My output is only 1.1 V. Can you guys give some advice on the way to oscillate the amplifier? Really appreciate if you all can help me.


I post my schematic and graph under in the file name of U10155ray.rar.

Rob,

It will step through all 9 combinations. If you do not want all of the combinations and wish to select the combinations used, see Files>Tut>stepping to the max. It has examples of stepping sets of parameters using tables.

Hello,

You could use "time" in an equation for the resistance.
Instead of the value 10 for example, you write an equation
as shown below.

R=10*(1-0.9*u(time-2m))

Resistance versus time in this case:
t<=2ms : R=10 Ohm
t>ms : R=1 Ohm

This resistor has effectively become a B-source. Please look
in the help pages for the possible functions with B-sources.


I normally use pulsed current sources for the test of
load transients.

Helmut

Emma,

I would also suggest changing your output load from a constant current to a resistor or some thing that more closely approximates a real world load. There are times in this simulation when both IGBTs are off. Since the current source still tries to maintain the specified current, the output voltage will have a magnitude of several thousand volts due to the current source forcing the current through the high impedance presented by the cut-off transistors.

I have uploaded a version of your schematic file modified as I have suggested (igbt_infineon_modified.asc). It ran for me using the Normal solver with modified trap integration.

Typically, the load on IGBTs is highly inductive so it is appropriate to use a current source as a load. Therefore, you need reverse diodes across the IGBTs.

There is obviously something wrong with the IGBT model, since the simulation takes so long.

See faq_11.txt under the Files=>FAQ section of this group for information on timestep and convergence problems.

Rick

Hi Rick and Philip,

Thanks for your comments, they were very helpful! Now I have included freewheeling diodes to the transistors, included "OFF" and I also have a small inductance (1e-6H) in series with the current source at the load. The load is suppose to represent a PMSM motor, that's why I thought I could use a current source as representation. The simulation can now run, thanks!

Kind Regards,
Emma

Our class instructor requires Date and Name on LTSpice

Is there a way of automatic generation, say, via spice

manually, to all the plots, or, worse, to use third
party-app to do it).

Hello,

You can add comments (e.g. the date) to plots in the
waveform viewer.

Plot Settings -> Notes and Annotations -> Place Text

Now you can use "Tools -> Copy Bitmap to Clipboard" to get
the picture with the added comment(date).


After this work, you should save the plot settings.

Hello Helmut,

I haven't been able to get the feature to work with 2007 PowerPoint Viewer either.

Howard.Rogers@...

Hello Helmut,
What are you meaning by " LTspice uses the whole
screen. " ?
As you can see in my little benchmarks, there a big difference between mini and maxi ?
And I deleted some curious results.
In fact, I think that a lot of parameters ( graphic card, Windows or Unix, ............) are to be in head.
By the way : simulations, on my PC, seem to be a little bit longer with 4.00c ?
Best regards
Philippe

just kidding

seriously, I mean it, I would pay someone to generate some transistor models for me. SERIOUSLY.

There's no point in me trying to do it myself, it would take a year and I'd never get it right anyway.

I have googled for these for hours, have searched the archives, and I'm just chasing my tail on these.

I would prefer subcircuits, but, trust me, I'd be perfectly happy with models.

Or, I would settle for models/subcircuits for devices that are analogs of these. And, I don't expect (of course) the models/subcircuits to be perfect.

If you are good at generating SS models/subcircuits, please contact me off-list. I will have more in the future. I will also post them for free; this is not for proprietary use, I just need 'em!!

The ones I ESPECIALLY need right now are (models/subcircuits/analogs):

Exicon ECF20N25A (nmos lateral mosfet)
Exicon ECF20P25EA (pmos lateral mosfet)
Fairchild KSC1845U
Sanken 2SC2911
Sanken 2SA1209
Exicon EXC10N20
Exicon EXC10P20

Hi Howard,

You're right. The first Models of 555/556 was from
the LTspice "Masc." folder. The second attempt
was the transistor realization from LTspice's
/examples/Educational NE555.asc, following
Mike's advise. Behavioral and transistor model gave me
the same (wrong) results for small signal inputs.
I investigated on the website and I found a few different
realization of these subcircuits, but they had the same
problems.

Correctly the problem was with low voltage behavior of
Trigger and Threshold inputs. I tried to make PWM circuitry
which was perfect in simulation in range of 0 to Vcc, but on
the bench the physical realization felt under 1V ov input voltage.
I asked for samples from IC vendors (ST, TI). On both these
imputes behaved differently, they lost linearity under
1V at Vcc=5V.

Peter

PS: By the way, I have discoverd that the simulation time of
analog's test circuit is longer if LTspice uses the whole
