Re: Input impedance of an energy saving fluorescent lamp (CFL) 21W

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

CFL's are very non-linear, in fact exhibit negative resistance. There are a few Spice models on the internet, you may have to adapt them for LTspice.

I am attempting to simulate a loaded inverter using the equivalent input impedance of the CF lamp as the load. Is there anybody in the group who might have an idea as to what a typical value for example for a 21W lamp might be.


Thank you very much in advance

It's because your computer is being slowed down. Maybe you need to run a tune-up application. Just emptying some files, like Temp and Recycle Bin might help. Defrag the hard drive, too, if you can leave the computer on for a long time while not in use.

Mechanical switch

 


Where could I find a model of a real mechanical switch, including sparking during opening?
I'm interested in spark gaps in general, but particularly a switch (voltage controlled ideally) that behaves like a real switch WRT arcing when used with inductive loads.

I am only partially "on" the list here, my access does not include file downloads or web access to the group.

Unable to find InstName attribute in LTSpice for mac

 

I'm trying to create a symbol in LTSpice for mac.
I've to place the InstName attribute but I'm doing right click -> view -> Attribute table and it's not there



Re: libraries for electronic components

 

.ummm, the best suggestions starting out is to Google the data sheets and see if those devices

match up any of the circuits that have already been modeled around here.

Have you designed and run a MOSFET simulation with LTSPICE yet?

Might be a good place to start.

Re: Modelling an optoisolator

 

Helmut,

Never mind! I found the problem. You had a comma in your table instead of a period (4,9 instead of 4.9). It works now.


Re: Modelling an optoisolator

 

Helmut,

I tried your suggestion of using an arbitrary behavioral voltage source (Bv) with the table you proposed (V=table(I(D1), 0,0, 1m,1, 10m,4.9, 100m, 4.95), and I got the following error:?
<<<>>>
B1: The table function requires the ordinate followed by pairs of table points, i.e., it requires the total number of arguments to be odd.
<<<>>>
Here's a link to a screenshot of the LTSpice model I built:?
Her's a link to the actual model:?

Re: Modelling an optoisolator

 

Hello,

May I ask a question ? If represent the transfer function in math equation, what would be the variables which is depended to vary the output ?
It seems the variable is Iin, but how to represent it in math equation ,do that belong to physical domain ?

Is it possible to use the BV or BI with those equations to represent the actual behavior if once someone have got the math equation ?

Thanks
Best regards.

A second-order model will need to take into account that output impedance will also affect the output voltage (at low impedances the output becomes more like ?a current source), but that is for another day.


Re: course of HOWTO build models like (sanken) STR-A6100

 

Hi, eetech00:

Thank you. That's really a good news.

I had ran the LLC topology in some simulator (NOT SPICE) for control. But it doesn't care very detail values of those hardware parameters.
So far I hope to have one certain LLC controller IC in spice simulator to do some estimation.
Your decision just help a lot for those people like me who want to evaluate those circuits.

Best regards.

Re: Modelling an optoisolator

 

Hello,
You could use a Bi or a Bv source with a table-function.

D1 is the diode of the optocoupler in this example.

Bi
I = table(I(D1), 0,0, 1m,0,5m, 10m,5m, 100m,20m)

Bv
V = table(I(D1), 0,0, 1m,1, 10m,4,9, 100m,4.95)

Best regards,
Helmut



Re: Looking for a IDT74CBTLV3253 model.

 

Gunoi Nare uploaded a circuit using the built-in "Counter" logic device.

Many of the logic devices require parameters, which you must attach or add to the device.? To add a parameter, right-click on the part, then type the desired parameter and its value, in the Value, Value2, SpiceLine, or SpiceLine2 fields.

The Counter device was not documented in the LTspice "Help" pages.? It was added somewhat recently to LTspice.? It is "documented" in a webpage about "undocumented LTspice", here:



According to that page, you have to provide at least the parameter named "Cycles", to tell the counter how many cycles to count.? Without that, the counter doesn't know what to do.

For example, right-click on the counter symbol, then click on the Value line (until you can type there), and type something like this:

cycles=4

Then press OK.

See the LTspice Help page for A-devices, to see some of the other common parameters for these logic devices (input levels, output levels, prop. delays, etc.).? By default these parts use 0V/1V levels.? You can list more than one parameter on the same line, such as:

cycles=4 ?Vhigh=5 ?Trise=10ns

Andy

Thank you Helmut.

When Attempting to open de file the error:

In Fact all other file will do the same thing although the word "circle' is replaced by 'Flag" or some other indicator.

Hello Gunoi,

Please take a look to the example file here. It shows how to use the digital devices in LTspice.

DIGITAL_A_DEVICES_1.ASC

?
?
EXAMPLE:
Place an AND
Right mouse click on it.?
A dialog will popup,

SpiceLIne: Vhigh=3.3 Vlow=0 Ref=1.65
SpiceLIne2: Td=1n Trise=1n

This AND has 0V/3.3V output, input threshold 1.65V, delay 1ns, rise and fall time 1n.


Use the nmos4 and pmos4 for the switch. Connect both in parallel as shown in the datasheet's schematic. Connect the substrate of the nmos4 to GND.?Connect the substrate of the pmos4 to VCC(3.3V).

Best regards,

I am sorry.
...You must apply through a resistor negative bias...
You even specify the type of optocoupler.

Hey. You are probably accessing the telepaths. I do not know the elementary photodetectors elements having an output value of the line voltage.

? ?"I've tried to understand how to create a current dependent voltage source but am unable to comprehend how to get my simulation circuit to work.? Is there anything available to describe in detail how to do this?"

Yes; there is the LTspice Help page for H-elements (current-dependent voltage sources).? But most of the reference descriptions there are most helpful for SPICE Netlists, and are a little vague about applying the same syntax to schematic symbols.

Assuming that you are using a schematic:

Voltage sources are our "ammeters".? Put a voltage source (probably set to 0V, but could be non-zero if that fits the rest of your circuit) in the branch where you want to sense the current, that will control your CCVS.

Add an H element where you want it.? Then right-click on the H that is by itself.? Edit that field so that it looks something like this:

Vxxx yyy.y

where Vxxx is the name (reference designator) of the voltage source that is the "ammeter",

and yyy.y is the transresistance or gain (in ?volts/amps) that you want.
