need help making Help for diode modeling program work
Gandolf
At Tony's marvelous suggestion, I went to:
and downloaded the files. I have the program for modeling diodes installed, and have downloaded the Help file/program, but I can't get the Help to run. It gives the error message something to the effect that "access to the webpage has been canceled" Can anyone help me get this help to work? I didn't cancel anything that I know of, and I downloaded the Help again and tried to open it a second time, but not luck. I did my best to "fly blind" with the program, but it also gave me an error, saying one of my values was non-computable. Since I had done my best to take the values right from the datasheet graph, I need the Help to help me figure out how to make it work. VB, Maturin |

I understood that Andy said Yahoo's LTspice Group? could access from Gmail. If you can log in to Yahoo's LTspice Group, your member ID can check? at Members tag in LTspice page. And input your ID in the search column. My ID can check the above method. I recommend your name will change fromJapanese Characters to ASCII characters, because almost all members use English.

Re: Is there an easy way to convert subciruits to schematics? (I.e., a sub2asc converter)
--- In LTspice@..., rainbowsally wrote:
I love the schematics (especially analogspiceman's.. :-) TheyThanks for the kind remark. :) :) Like my posts, I *do* try to make my schematics sensibly organized and easy to read (but sometimes I fear I forget to mention that I have decreased the default font size). Understanding electronics is already difficult enough without having to look at a messy, jumbled schematic. But I'd like to literally see how some of these subcircuits areUh-oh, then I'm afraid you may be in for a disappointment. Here is what I do, but it is very laborious (so it's worth the trouble only if the netlist is very interesting). Before you start, make working copy of the netlist and then clean it up by doing any reordering of lines or shortening of node/net names that will make them easier to work with. For example, nets with names like "n023" and "n001" can usually be safely shortened to "n23" and "n1" (sometimes I do this in a word processor with find and replace). Also, it is a good idea to move all comments to the end of the working netlist (if not delete them altogether). At this point, I like to import the netlist into LTspice, either directly onto the schematic (if the netlist is short) or into a separate LTspice netlist window. (Did you know that LTspice has its own netlist viewer that displays text in context aware color?) Now go through the netlist line by line and place a component of the corresponding type on the schematic (arrange these in rows by component type such that you build up rows of all the same type). It is important to do this in exactly the same order as the net- list because this will greatly ease cross checking when you think you have finished. (Also, all of the SPICE text, such as model statements, etc. should be copied and pasted in at the end.) As you place each component, edit its reference designator to agree with the corresponding netlist reference designator. As you place each component, place a net-label/node-name directly on each pin of the component (of course, these should agree with their names in the netlist, too). Don't bother with wires yet as these will just be trouble to move around later. Once all the components are placed, view the SPICE Netlist (it's a drop-down menu item) and verify that it agrees *exactly* with the original netlist (it will, if you followed these instructions carefully). Correct any errors as needed until agreement is perfect. This "schematic" should actually be able to run at this point. So far you have just been playing the part of a robot, but now comes the fun part where human judgement is required. Move the components around on the schematic to group them such that the pins that have the same net names are close to each other and that signal flow makes sense. Use the Highlight Net tool (right mouse button click on a pin or net) to make sure no connection is overlooked. Only when the parts are reasonably well placed is it time to start drawing in the wires and adjust the look of the schematic. Be sure to check occasionally that the two netlists continue to match. Because both netlists and schematics are just ascii text files, the first part of this process should be fairly straightforward to automate in software. Grouping components and connecting them for least total wire length might be harder, but still possible (I would try an approach using the so-called "synthetic annealing" algorithm). However, finishing the schematic to human sensibilities would seem beyond the reach of any canned program, but having a utility that did the first two steps would be a big time saver and well worthwhile. -- a.s. PS: If you wish to write your own code to do this perhaps it would help to look at this very similar open source program (unfortunately it does not produce LTspice schematics). |
Re: Network (.Net) analysis using LTSpice
Hi Tony,
Try Octave and see. If you have problems, let me know and I'llThanks for the Matlab example - I'll get around to trying thatI'm not sure if that is totally true - depending on what you track down the issue. Note that you can run the LTspice circuits in the example zip file without processing the data using MATLAB. The point was for you to see how the values of the stepped variable can be saved. Unfortunately, it won't be much use in this case because although youRight, I had that same problem. If you look in the LTspice circuits in the MATLAB example zip file, you will see that the solution is to use a voltage source to write out stepped parameters into an *extra* array. Post processing of the .raw file can then be performed using the data normally written to that file, and the *extra* array of stepped values. Cheers, Dave |

Re: Flback converter instability

Yoga, You're right, you do have a connection there. When I looked at your circuit before, I saw a very large voltage between ground and the common bus on the bottom half of the circuit. This caused by the inductance between ground and the common bus and the very larges start up currents in the circuit. I removed UIC from the .TRAN command and the startup currents were greatly reduced. (You could do this other ways, but this was easy to do.) You should revisit your filtering scheme. After I removed UIC, the circuit seemed to behave OK. Specifically, what do you think is wrong? LTspice contains a library of caps with their ESRs. In addition, part manufactures specify ESR. LTspice does not compute the inductor series resistance but it defaults to .001 ohms for inductors that are not mutually coupled to others. LTspice also has a library of inductors, and vendors specify performance. The model LTspice uses for an inductor is given in the help file. Rick |
Re: Is there an easy way to convert subciruits to schematics? (I.e., a sub2asc converter)
I think the main problem is that in a subcircuit, the connecting lines and layout of an equivalent schematic are basically missing.
So only way I know of is to go through the subcircuit line by line, and laboriously create the schematic drawing of that in LTspice schematic editor 'by hand'. The nodes (connecting lines) will have numbers in the subckt which can also be named the same on the drawing which does help. Unless anyone knows differently :D |

Hello Dave, Thanks for the Matlab example - I'll get around to trying that sometime. I assume it will work after a fashion in Octave, as Matlab is beyond my budget. Unfortunately, it won't be much use in this case because although you can coerce LTspice into using a .step param Freq construct in .AC, the Freq array doesn't seem to be available for .meas postprocessing. I tried it and Freq always just returns the last value in the range. The method I proposed does work, although you do need a "find" in the .meas statement, as Helmut pointed out. You don't get an array that you can plot, just a list of separate measurements at various frequencies. My interest in doing this is generally to extract the S parameters, but the resulting logfile data doesn't look much like Touchstone? SnP format, so a fair amount of knife and forking is required to reformat the data. But if all this was too easy, anyone could do it! Regards, Tony |

Hello Maturin, An LED is just a diode, as you get glean from the .model line you quote above. I don't know where you searched for the model parameters, but they are all listed in the LTspice Helpfile under "diode", and elsewhere - for example, the PSpice manual. The most convenient way to generate a diode model is the use Henrick Jan Zwerver's Diodemodeller software located in the file area: You can then tweak the parameters within LTspice, if desired, when plotting the characteristics in a device jig.

Thanks, But i have connected the ground on the R285 to R295 resistors. Which is ground. Do you think there has to be some big resistor at the return path? say 100K since the input and the output side will have a common grounds and as i said it will short the return path? Do you have any other source or database which can give me the esr of the caps i am using. SInce i know these will contribute a lot to the instability. another thing i want to know is " i have used the inductor as a flyback transf and want to know if the series resistance is calculated by the ltspice tool on its own" i have given the direct values of 0.045Ohm what is given in the datasheet. What actually is seen by the coil is based on the connectivity. i.e parallel or series etc.., Will lt tool calculate on own since the coil craft vendor told me the LT tool will do. I just wanted to clarify once with you. What are the other values/components which affect the stability of the flyback? Should i try to do something with the comp pin(values) of the LT1241 device?

how to modify LED model?
Gandolf
After searching LTspice files exhaustively for LED models, it seemed to me that the best ones were Helmut's, i.e. this one for a GaAs LED:
*Typ RED GaAs LED: Vf=1.7V Vr=4V If=40mA trr=3uS .MODEL Red_Led_660nm3mm D (IS=93.2P RS=42M N=3.73 BV=4 IBV=10U + CJO=2.97P VJ=.75 M=.333 TT=4.32U) The LED I wish to model is the WP710A10SRC/E from Kingbright (3mm GaAs 660 nm); there are some small but (because I'm stringing a lot of 'em ;) important differences from the model above... ....namely, 1.85 typical Vf at If=20 mA typical, 30 mA max, 45 pF capacitance, 10 uA reverse current (and unfortunately, that's it from the datasheet!!). Would someone please explain what all the parameters are between the parentheses in Helmut's model above and how I change them to better simulate the Kingbright LED? I searched for LED spice parameter's, but could not come up with any info on what IS, RS, N, BV, etc, stand for. Very Best, Maturin |
