Re: ....list
But I am pretty much certain that neither Helmut nor Mike has written aI think it's useful to add, once again, that Helmut is not affiliated, in any way, with Linear, or Mike, nor is it this group, for that matter. -- Vlad ______________________ ltspicegoodies.ltwiki.org -- holding, among others: a universal analog/digital filter, block-level models for power electronics (and not only), math blocks with a more stream-lined approach, some digital ADC, DAC, (synchronous-)counter, JKflop, etc. |

Re: No XP?

The team was in SwcadIII menu. Activate this command was issued table (form) to enter the input voltage and load current. By entering the data you need and activated, you will get a table for the chip select. After selecting the chip, SWcadIII you create a scheme with all the values of the elements and start the simulation of the circuit. (The list of available chips of course not the same as now). SWcadIII (as LTspiceIV) are portable Original Program. Those. there is no need to install. I had a zip file. I unpacked it and ran SWcadIII. Bordodynov. 11.08.2016, 08:46, "basier.philippe@...

I am with you a little bit do not agree. Old SwcadIII had the opportunity to build the circuit on the input requirements for DC / DC. Recently, I studied my old files on CDs and found that version. For starters, the developers is a big help. Bordodynov. 10.08.2016, 20:31, "Andy ai.egrps@... [LTspice]" <ltspice@...>: andrew.lohmann?wrote: |

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýOk I see that in the log. ?But I don¡¯t get prompted with any error for which I must ¡°press ok to continue¡¡± which would lead me to look at the log in the first place.Fine¡ so (1) there¡¯s an error in the?2SC6144SG sub circuit from On Semi which raises log errors with respect to that sub circuit if all the Qd44vh10 pass transistors are replaced with?2SC6144SG. ?(2) If they are not, then LTspice tells me there¡¯s a missing Qd44vh10 model definition when indeed there isn¡¯t. ?(3) If all pass transistors are Qd44vh10 and the Spice directive in relation to the 2SC6144SG sub circuit is not ¡®commented out' in the schematic then LTspice tells me the model statement for Qd44vh10 is missing when it is not. (4) If all pass transistors are Qd44vh10 and the?2SC6144SG subcircuit statement is commented out of operation then all works just fine.? For (1) the problem is in the log but with no ¡®flag' that the log should be checked. ?With (2) and (3) LTspice points me to a problem that doesn¡¯t exist and not to where the problem does exist.? It took a lot of backtracking to identify that commenting out the?2SC6144SG sub circuit statement solved the problem. Of course then an examination of the material that needed to be commented out was readily done. It might well have been more obscure to identify had the?2SC6144SG sub circuit been one of many included via .inc statements. Better that LTspice actually alerts the user to the problem at hand rather than to an area which is just fine.? Let¡¯s perhaps end this sidebar regarding the?2SC6144SG sub circuit here. The issue is now fixed / no longer needed. I still have outstanding questions with respect to probing phase for which I would be very grateful of assistance.? Thanks in advance Steve EDIT: ?just saw John¡¯s post. ?The Qd44vh10 model is fine with respect to the device name / model name. ?The problem is with the 2SC816144SG sub circuit statement (with the .endl error noted by Philippe) and that LTspice points to an error with a missing Qd44vh10 model definition rather than an error with the 2SC816144SG sub circuit statement.?

Re: Probing phase
Hello
With all Qd44vh10 replaced If I replace .endL? by .ends I get no error or warning. If I keep .endL I get : Error on line 1138 : .endl 2sc6144sg ??? ?Unknown control card Error on line 1138 : .endl 2sc6144sg ??? ?Unknown control card Error on line 1138 : .endl 2sc6144sg ??? ?Unknown control card Error on line 1138 : .endl 2sc6144sg ??? ?Unknown control card Error on line 1138 : .endl 2sc6144sg ??? ?Unknown control card Error on line 1138 : .endl 2sc6144sg ??? ?Unknown control card Regards PhB |

Re: Probing phase
John Woodgate
It looks very much as though your model isn't called *exactly* ' Qd44vh10'. There could be a leading or trailing space or another invisible character. Have you ever uploaded the model?

So why bother, unless you have no other choice? Many ADI parts have SPICE models.? SPICE models are SPICE models, and can be used in most any SPICE program, including LTspice, PSPICE, HSPICE, etc. ? ?"But similarly there does not seem to be older versions of LTspice than IV on LT's website?" Why would you want an older version?? I can't think of any reason. Sometimes, a company releases a program that is incompatible with older versions. ?(LTspiceIV -> LTspiceXVII is a minor example of that.? SwitcherCAD -> LTspiceIII -> LTspiceIV is not.) ?They keep the older versions because sometimes a customer needs the capability that only the older version has. As far as I know, there is nothing that an older version of LTspice can do, that LTspiceIV can't.? So there is no reason to use an older version. Andy |
