It might be worth checking sparkfun.com for information on this link. I
have read that they use eagle for production, and make available most (if
not all) of there schematics and symbols. Also, since they use eagle for
production, they may have an inside track to getting support, as they can
influence a large user base.

Some background, not intended to be criticism, then the question.

Cadsoftusa's Eagle 6.4 introduced an interface to link schematics with

LTSpice IV for simulation. Unfortunately, the link does not seem to be
fully functional. There is no documentation from Cadsoftusa about this link
that I have been able to find. Cadsoftusa's website points to Newark
(Element 14) for technical support. Newark (Element 14) has a number of
Eagle Webcasts but these have provided limited help. Also, their forum
questions go un-answered. In fairness, Newark (Element 14) is in the
business of selling, not providing implementation details of a product;
they do provide LTSPice IV models and Eagle symbols and placement data for
many components.

I have been able to create a link Eagle 6.4 to LTSpice IV but have not

been able to transfer a schematic for simulation.

Separately, I have been able to download spice models and symbols and

integrate them into LTSpice IV for simulation.

Separately, I have been able to download and integrate schematic

symbols and placement data into Eagle 6.4.

Getting the two products to work an play together seem to be

problematic.

The Question: Has anyone in the forum had any experience with using

the Eagle 6.4 link to LTSpice IV and can provide any guidance or point to
potential information.

Using a link like this seems to be a good idea and I would like to

take advantage of it. I'll keep trying different things as time permits.

Subject: [LTspice] Help! How do I do find maximum signal easily!
Date: Wed, 10 Jul 2013 17:43:31 -0700

I'm trying to find an easy way to see if my signal saturates any OpAmp output, or violates some level to the next stage.

Right now, I'm using input values predetermined from matching to the existing breadboard circuit I know the levels are ok, but now I want to redesign using simulation.

Problem is...I have a VERY complex time input signal yet has fairly 'flat' harmonic content, so historically I have been able to use AC analysis and get very accurate simulation. for example, a representative data point using most recent LTspice I predict 35 ppm noise at 1kHz [that is, noise to signal levels] and MEASURE 36 ppm. So am very happy with the simulation and models. [the noise pretty much matches within 10% over the rest of the spectrum]

Here is the problem. I want to redesign the circuit, but not build it to verify operating levels. So how do I bounce between this frequency domain and the time domain WITHOUT taking days for each run?

What I mean is, I can represent the input waveform in a .wav form or PWL model, but we're talking 4400 UNIQUE data points that repeat and repeat. then, do .tran analysis, but that takes iteration after iteration to get a stable repeatable output signal.

Or, I could 'post-process' an AC analysis by just 'assuming' everything is copacetic, run the AC analysis, and find the harmonic values/phase angles and use octave to plot the signal. And, octave will tell me if I've violated maximum signal level.

How do I make the AC simulation put out specific frequency/phase values, maybe not the ones it used during the AC analysis? And how accurate will they be? The signal may be complex enough that a few degrees could cause a catastrophe, but I guess I could cross that bridge later, getting close right now would be a big help.

Is there a way to make a file of table of results? I give frequency points [not in the AC anlayis] and LTspice gives me amplitude/phase in a file, so I can run that through octave. Is there a way to 'force' the frequency data points of LTspice - there's a lot fo them?

Or, is there a way to stay in the time domain easily quickly generate the waveform as I change a component value someplace?

Help!

Hi,

I don't know what your specific requirements are, but have you taken a
look at the "AT-42086", made by Agilent (HP), it may meet your
requirements. I have over 18,000 (18K) of these things on tape reels.
(Don't ask!) If you (or anyone else for that matter) will sent me a
SASE, I will send you 1 oz worth. I guess about 20 to 40. I only ask
that you or anyone keep us posted on any circuits that you have success
with.

On another thought have you looked at the Norton-Rohde Feedback
Amplifier? See


Also, the datasheet shows the typical scattering parameters for an
output impedance of 50 ohms from 100 MHz to 6.0 GHz. I would be
eternally grateful for anyone who can develop a LTSpice model for 100
MHz and 2.5 GHz.

I think what's happening here is that your circuit has two possible stable
states, due to the fact that it has no real V+ supply voltage. If the
op-amp happens to start up yanking on the output pin, it will pull the
positive supply pin voltage down with it so that it goes low, and then it
settles on that second stable operating point, with the output pin
negative. In that state, the op-amp is open-loop and essentially broken.

If that doesn't happen, it lets the output pin (and the positive supply
voltage) go high, and the negative feedback works normally.

With it being a roll-of-the-dice which stable state comes up, a change to
one part of the circuit can cause a change elsewhere.

To prove that there are (at least) two stable states I did the following.

I added a .NODESET V(n010)=10V to the circuit where U1 was replaced by the
UniversalOpamp2, and this makes U2 come up "normally" again.

I tried adding a .NODESET V(n010)=-2.5V to the un-modified circuit. This
seems to cause LTspice to go into spasms where it can't find a clean
operating point to start the transient simulation with, but it runs anyway
and the transient simulation waveforms indicate that it doesn't ever
recover to the "normal" situation where there is a good positive supply
voltage. In other words, it finds the second stable operating point where
U2 is open-loop, and its output remains low.

This is a very poorly behaved negative feedback circuit. Highly
questionable design.

Andy

That's great detective work and analysis! You've shown me a new tool to use in future troubleshooting attempts.

Yes, I know the circuit is strange . . . I inherited it from a customer and was running some simulations in order to understand the functions and problems. The reason for the strangeness is that it runs a the end of a long twisted pair, and the power line is also the signal line. I added the -5V negative rail in an attempt to get the simulation running, since the opamp I selected drew 5 times the current of the part they were using, unbalancing the design. I may try to give them an alternate power+signal 2-wire design that is inherently stable.

Thanks,
Carl

Hi Helmut,

Hi Ferdian Cahyodwiputro.
You gave yourself the problem from scratch.
Using the command ". Inc" or ". Lib" you have to enter into it full name.
In my electronic circuit: .inc 2SC5006.txt.
If you like the LIB file extension, then copy my file 2SC5006.txt to a file 2SC5006.lib.

Help!

I have a circuit that uses an LT1702. To test some variations, I cloned that circuit so there are currently a pair of identical isolated circuits, both giving the same results (10.4V on the outputs of both opamps). If I change one of the opamps to a UniversalOpamp2, the other LD1702 output drops to about -3V, even though that circuit has not changed. I don't think I have any explicitly named nets that tie the two cloned circuits together. I'm running the current release (4.18j).
I've uploaded the original circuit to the Temp folder. If somebody could give it a try, here is my suggested process:
1. Run the circuit, verify that the opamp output pins are at about 10.4V
2. Delete one of the opamps, and then add a UniversalOpamp2 in its place
3. Run the circuit and check the output of the LT1702 (about -2V, unexpected change) and UniversalOpamp2 output (8.3V, expected because of biasing)

Thanks,
Carl

Hmmm, load dumps can last a looong time.

Hmm, I missed that, even though it was there in the Subject. I was
thinking that small stuff like ignition noise was all the suppressor diode
had to handle. My bad. :-)

Andy

Load dump can last for a long time. TVS is NOT generally used for load dump protection, just because of that. Instead, the emphasis is on using components (capacitors and voltage regulators) that will withstand 65V or more for something on the order of 1 second. What you CAN do is add a PTC "fuse" ahead of the TVS. That will limit the current and the power dissipated by the TVS.


National Semiconductor (now TI) has several linear regulators that are designed especially for this. Linear has, I believe, a number of switchers that are designed for automotive application and are spec'd this way.

The TVS may be sufficient. Like you say, they are meant to handle short

The large inductance field has to decay before
the alternator stops producing the over voltage.

LTspice DOES NOT generate values at uniform sample times. So, "previous sample" (in the context of LTspice computation) makes little sense.


If you do want to evaluate in terms of a sampled data system, then you need to add a sample "clock" to your circuit and a sample/hold to the circuit. Then, process the S/H output.
