Re: Error in Half-bridge simulation
It could also be Trr of the fly back diodes, (body diodes of the fets) If inductive current is flowing in them. If so, use schottkys to reduce it. Al D.

Re: NCP1117 Model will not work
Sorry..that's not a problem. I meant the Adj pin current problem. Datasheet: For (Vin = 11.25 V, Iout = 800ma) Iadj = 52uA typical But I'm seeing Iadj = 17.7 mA

Re: Error in Half-bridge simulation
In this circuit, it's not the gate capacitance or gate charge that causes the current spikes. There is little or no overlap in the gate drive signals at the gates themselves. You can force them to not

Re: Error in Half-bridge simulation
Rick, Is there any relation between Qgate and drain to source current? Why by changing the model of the mosfet the drain-source current has changed? which parameter of mosfet cause this changing?

Re: Error in Half-bridge simulation
Hamed, Rds is the resistance from drain to source, when the FET is on. It is not very important in this application. Qgate is the charge in the gate and that is the main factor in switching delays.

Hi I'm having the same issue with the NCP1117_adj1-x model... After reviewing the previous messages in this thread, the resolution is not clear. :-( Can anyone help?

Re: Link to external html files?
I don't see it that way, at all. If you could specify a URL to a LTspice project file instead of a file path, then students could load it via the URL and run it on their machine. Think "poor man's"

LTspice would not need to handle it, it just passes the URL to the default browser to handle, it not a very difficult thing to program a lot of software have that feature. -- Cecil - k5nwa <

I think what you are asking, is for LTspice to include a fully functional web browser. In my opinion, that is neither practical, nor appropriate. BTW, LTspice does have the capability to input (i.e.,

Re: Error in Half-bridge simulation
Hamed, I didn't look at your revised circuit, but it takes a long time to remove the gate charge due to the relatively large resistors in series with the gates. Rick

Re: Error in Half-bridge simulation
It is not difficult to see the problem. The upper MOSFET operates as a voltage follower. The gate drive is 20V, hence the 16V voltage at the source. The high-side driver must be modified. You may use

Hamed, M1 is a source follower, so the source voltage will be less than the gate voltage. Rick

The gate of M1 is only 10V above ground, not 10v above the Source voltage....
