Re: A TVS does not work with load dump test??
Everything said here is correct. The voltage source has precisely zero
output resistance, so it will sustain the driven voltage at whatever current, no matter how hard the TVS tries to shunt it. However, the other thing I find noteworthy is that your TVS is conducting hundreds of amps even with the normal operating voltage (12.8V) when there is no spike. I do not think you have set up its model parameters correctly. Despite the fact that you have a TVS schematic symbol, the parameters you gave it are for an ordinary silicon diode. LTspice comes with two TVS diodes in its standard diode library. They use different parameters than the ones you've specified. Regards, Andy |
Re: A TVS does not work with load dump test??
The voltage source is virtually ideal; it?has virtually no output impedance, so there is nothing across which to drop the voltage and it can supply virtually infinite current. The current through the TVS is limited by its own impedance. If you look at the current through the TVS, you will see that it is over 800 Amps. If you add some parasitic series resistance to the voltage source, like a real voltage source will have, you will see that the TVS does, indeed, clamp the voltage.

Re: arbitrary solar cell model
What made your netlist confusing to me, where a schematic would have helped, is figuring out the interconnections between the subcircuits, and between them and the other elements. Having nodes marked as "OUTPUT" that are actually inputs to the subcircuit, does not help. Your original note talked about both series and parallel connections, so I expected to see both. Not seeing that, I had to do a bunch of tracing, mentally re-constructing the missing schematic, to figure out whether this was the series case or the parallel case. So a schematic definitely would have helped. It would have made it less confusing, not more. actually the output should not have the distortion in -1.8kA ! and it should continue constant like a diode :)But you never described how this "distortion" manifests itself. Specifically, what did LTspice calculate that differed from your hand calculations of your formulas at the same operating point? (Indeed, did you do any hand calculations at the point or points in question, that show what the signal or signals ought to be?) Saying that signals look funny is one thing. Saying that they are incorrect requires some proof. You have not offered any proof that LTspice's findings are incorrect. In doing that, I think that you would probably find where the error is. Regards. Andy |

Re: File of where the keyboard shortcuts are stored
scad3.ini is now named LTspiceIV.ini. I believe its location is $APPDATA$\LTspiceIV.ini. The exact location of $APPDATA$ is dependent on your version of Windows. On this computer, it defaults to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\. Regards, Andy |
File of where the keyboard shortcuts are stored
Hello. I once knew how to transfer the keyboard shortcuts from my desktop to my laptop of LTspice. I have searched for it and found instructions that say that a scad3.ini file is located in Windows, but that may be old...there is not such file.
Does anyone know where the keyboard shortcuts are stored, so that I may simply copy them to my other computer? Thanks for your help! |

Thank you very much for your answer. the reason that I use arbitrary model not a standard diode is that I cannot control temperature change for each solar cell in diode model. Furthermore, the reason that grounds are different is that two cells are in series. Actually I should say that I am not so good in schematics environment and I am used to netlists while I can control the nodes easier. In this model by varying the temperature of each cell most of elements values will change and it is the reason that I cannot use the standard diode model.

Re: arbitrary solar cell model
Sorry I mis-typed, you probably want to leave v(inp) alone (don't reference it to 'ref') but you do want to change v(internode) to v(internode,ref). There still seems to be some other problem, though, at temperatures other than 25. I don't have time to look any further right now.

If you don't model that then Voc will go up with temperature. Another reason to use the standard diode model. -Fred --- In LTspice@..., "qrx3" <fredh@...> wrote:

Re: OT/Left Field...
As you may know, Mike Engelhardt has said before that LTspice isn't going to be ported to another platform or OS. That would be a major undertaking. If there exists anything similar to Wine for Linux that would allow Microsoft Windows programs to run on a tablet, however unlikely, that would be the easiest way to get LTspice itself running there. The problem I see with these new hardware platforms, is that they are so transient. What do you suppose their lifetime is? That fact alone makes porting a major project like LTspice, not worth the effort. There are a number of freeware and/or source-code-available programs out there, to do electronic circuit simulation, in addition to those in the Wikipedia article. But alas they aren't LTspice.

Re: 74F and 74ACT models
At one time, T.I. and National Semi (which is now T.I.) had SPICE models for them. In a university project I should simulate and analyse the frequency spectrum and the cross talk characteristics by using these elements.If you mean crosstalk within a device (multiple elements of the same IC), that could be a problem, unless their models are that detailed. Most SPICE models are not. If you mean crosstalk in traces on your board, you can do that. Andy |
Re: arbitrary solar cell model
Hello Hamed,

While I would also advise you to use a standard diode model instead of building your own, I may be able to shed some light on your difficulty. Note that your derived values for ISC and VOC are generated in relation to the reference input 'ref'. However when you use these values in your formulae you are using the value relative to ground: log((v(isc)/{i0})+1) The same is true when you use the input voltage: (v(inp)*iscr)/1000) I have not tried to run your circuit, but I strongly suspect this is why it would work for a single cell where ref = ground and not for a second cell where ref != ground. I think the most sensible fix would be to reference eisc and evoc to ground instead of ref, so you can observe the values externally if you want and not have to subtract the ref voltage. Then change "v(inp)" for example to "v(inp,ref)" where needed. I suggest that if you had drawn this as a circuit instead of writing a netlist these issues would have been quickly apparent, but maybe not.

locking the graph vertical axis
Having used LTSPICE for some years now, I never satisfactorily solved this issue:
I have some circuits that have essentially 0 gain, plotted on dB scales - I get 100's of dB on the vertical axis. I can adjust the axis to display a meaningful range, but every time you run the simulator the scale is autoranged again. Clicking the tick box 'autorange' to not autorange is not effective here - every run get autoranged just the same. Is there any way of locking the y axis to the entered values - I' sure I must just be missing something....and yes I read the documentation as best as I could...

Re: inductance with a permeability in dependency of frequency
I sometimes use a 'linear' representation of inductors to speed analyses.
Try a ladder network of linear inductors and resistors. Just like in fitlering, you have to change the first and last components, sometimes the middle - think in terms of Tchebyschev(sp?) coefficients and you'll get the picture *IF* you do that, it only takes somethinge like 5 to 7 terms (note the odd numbers) to pretty accurately match the performance of chip ferrite beads. As you know, chip ferrite beads start out a little inductive and then turn resistive, but as the impedance goes higher with increasing frequency the impedance angle seems to maintain the same angle, almost like eddy current losses. The point is, using the array form of entering values and with a little bit of thinking; you can create subckts that match spec within about 1-5% over the spectrum, yet use LINEAR components - speeding up analyses to way faster than using the LaPlace equation form. which is the usual models given for these chips. --- alzie@... wrote: From: alzie <alzie@...> To: LTspice@...
