Hello.
Regarding to AC simulation.
I want to know cut off frequency
using ".measure" statements.
In LT spice help, I found how
to describe band-width but
I don't know how to describe
to find cut off frequency only.

if you know description it,
please teach me.

Regards.
Shukichi

Look at these links at the foot of each list message:



To upload a schematic, go to the web site and click on 'Files' in the left column. On the Files page, scroll down to 'Temp' in the middle column and click on it. On the Temp page, click on 'Add file' at the top right of the middle column. Use, for example 'MPS4250 model.asc' as the filename.

Disregard the part headed 'Auto-send to members' (if it appears) and tick the box under 'Notification'. Then click on the blue 'Upload' box.

It is quite good.

For the moment, I try to understand how does work my amp with LTSpice.
Actually, after an error in handling, one channel failed and activated
a protection circuit (too much quiescent on one output stage polarity).
I tried to fix this but I failed and ordered a complete replacement
PCB. But I am curious and like to understand things. So I drawn the
circuit in LTSpice from the PCB and could not understand it in some places.

Please upload the circuit (we use the US term ''schematic' on this list)
to Files => Temp on the list's web site:

I asked Bob Cordell some help but he was to busy and answer me to read
chapter 1-4 from his book. OK. In fact, in LTSpicen there is almost no
quiescent current in output stage and the VBE spreader does not work at
all. I thought that some models where not correct but I don't know. I'm
deadlocked.

I expect we can help once we see the schematic.

What if real circuit would behave the same way ?
Hope Linear will fix this issue soon.
I didn't post the original file, because everyone can load it as an LT's example named 3765.asc and see the effect of diminishing of the voltage feedback resistor.

Hello,

Running an dc/dc example named 3765.asc with slightly lowered feedback resistor (4.42 --> 4.2k) gives Vout appr. several times bigger than expected.
Just the opposite what we should expect while lowering the feedback resistor.
It can be even dangerous to the sensitive load.

Why it behaves this way ?

Hello,

Well spotted. I have tried this distribution example circuit on two machines, and it behaves as you describe.

I swept the feedback resistor from 4k1 to 4k3 in 10R steps and found that the LTC3766 transitions from closed loop to open loop behaviour when the value goes below 4210R. Whether this a model error or not, I don't know, but the example circuit is clearly unsatisfactory.

I have reported this as a bug to Mike.

Regards,
Tony

I have received a response from Linear (not Mike - I think he must be on holiday).

Basically, what they say is that the behaviour is as expected, and related to the undervoltage lockout on Vcc, which is connected to the regulated output in this circuit, and that this is operating the device somehow incorrectly because of that.

However, the LTspice simulation is almost exactly the same as the application circuit in the datasheet (with the exception that the output is not floating), and the simulation would suggest it won't work as published with 5% resistors.

The datasheet says: the minimum Vcc voltage is 5V, and that the regulated DC voltage must be above this if it supplies Vcc directly, or an overvoltage condition can occur. So, this is kind of a known "feature". With zero tolerance resistors, the calculated regulated output voltage is (1 + 4.42k/604)*599.6mV, which is 4.987V, so this is never going to work in the real world.

This is what the LT response actually said:
"Alright the jig circuit shows that you can use 4.42KOhm, and it is not suppose to take that as the real design. If you want the design close to the scenario, you need to go through from more realistic perspective.

Anyway, the model is right, and the jig is right. If you argue that the circuit is not a robust design, that is not the issue of the model. Many times our jig circuits show simplified setup, for example, more ideal magnetic devices, no ESL of sensing resistor, down sized soft-start cap, etc. It is there for user to quickly pick up the fundamental features of the part, and we encourage users to design their applications based on that."

For what it's worth, I modified the schematic so that the Vcc pin was fed from a separate 5V supply and reduced the feedback resistor to 4k1 (from 4k42), and the output did regulate properly at 4.67V.

Hope that helps somebody.

Regards,
Tony

I have managed to separate Vcc pin to 5V as Tony suggested.
Now my feedback resistor is 2.7k , Vout plateau is 3.28V at 0.3ohm load.
Now it makes sense

Olek A.

Hello Didier

The reason for that is because of the syntax for .func, it should be by the book:
.func f(x) {...}
not f(x)=...

There may also be some outdated symbols/libraries. I'll make the changes and update the files with the correct syntax later (but possibly much later).


Vlad

Greetings,

I'm interested in applying a step change to the coupling coefficient of two coupled inductors during transient analysis at a desired time. Is this something that can be done using the .func & .param commands?

Thanks in advance for any assistance rendered.

This webpage:

difference between the 'T' and the 'H' version seems to be the part's
voltage gain. If you can only use the 'H' version, it might be possible to
modify the 'T' version's macromodel.

Macromodels are models of simplified versions of the actual circuitry.
Sometimes a block, such as an op-amp, is represented by a VCVS, which
simulates faster than a couple dozen transistors that actually comprise the
op-amp.

This macromodel is a SPICE "subcircuit", so you would use it as a
subcircuit. There must be hundreds of messages already in this group about
how to use a subcircuit model in an LTspice simulation.

This webpage:



has an Orcad (PSPICE) library for the same part. The model looks very
similar. LTspice is very compatible with PSPICE, so that one probably
works just fine too.

A capacitor, or an inductor, are susceptance elements.

I think the question is whether one can enter a susceptance value in a component's properties. I'm sure this isn't possible, but;

a) you never know what is in fact possible in LTspice;

b) you can overcome it because you can calculate the capacitance C or inductance L that has susceptance B at frequency f quite easily:

C = B/(2pi*f), L = 1/(2pi*f*B).

Elastance, anyone? (;-)

A capacitor, or an inductor, are susceptance elements.

You might want to make sure they have no parasitic resistances, so that
your component has only susceptance and no conductance. Unless you also
want it to have conductance.

Hello,

I have looked for similar part and found an example with the

Open the symbol with the symbol editor of LTspice and study
the attributes and the "Netlist order" in the pins. This
netlist order is simply the order of the pins in .subckt.
It's not the name or number of these subcircuit-pins.

Hello,

I've checked this with a Bsource both two syntaxes work fine

b3 n001 0 v=(pow(-1,round((- 2 *((1)-1)/2+1)/- 1)))

b1 n002 0 v=(-1)**round((- 2 *(1 -1)/2+1)/- 1)

With a bsource using a function directive only one works

b3 n001 V=ch2(zz) neither V=ch3(zz) wrong

b3 n001 V=ch4(zz) good

.param a=2 b=1 zz=1

.func ch2(x)=(-1)**round((-a*(x-1)/2+1)/(-1)/b); ==> errorlog
(-1)**round((- 2 *(( 1 )-1)/2+1)/(-1)/ 1 ?))?

.func ch3(x)=(-1)**round((-a*(x-1)/2+1)/-b) ; ==> errorlog
(-1)**round((- 2 *(( 1 )-1)/2+1)/- 1 ?))?

.func ch4(x)=pow(-1,round((-a*(x-1)/2+1)/-b)) ; ==> good



I'am sure that two syntaxes were correct before because almost all
the files in the below section provide errors

So, maybe one of the important anchor points in your timeline

From high school I remember paper tape and I briefly used punch
cards at university in engineering course work. Output was ascii
graphics on line printers as you mentioned (some students would
generate heavy patterns of text in order to generate specific
frequencies of sound in an attempt to play songs - the waste of
ink and paper irritated the operators).

Terminal graphics were supposedly introduced with SPICE 3, but
ordinary students didn't have access to CRT terminals. I think
PSpice (which used to be called uPspice, if memory serves) was
the first popular SPICE for the IMB PC and, thus, represents
the beginnings of the GUI's mainstream influence (which is one
the reasons I included it on the road to LTspice). -- a.s.
