Re: Warning: Multiple definitions of model ...
Some transistor models are very far from real behavior. Nobody checks that. What bothers me is that ADI violates the SPICE rule that model names must be unique. And nobody at ADI seems to care.

Re: Warning: Multiple definitions of model ...
Yes, I did mean 'will'. My (limited) experience is that even different data books don't give the same graphical data, and models are no different in that respect.? Yes, you can tweak a model, but

Re: Warning: Multiple definitions of model ...
I presume you meant "It's unlikely that a model "will* produce curves that closely match those in the data sheet"? Of course that's not true. In many cases, you can tweak a model to almost overlay

Re: .imp file
The output from an .AC simulation is a high-resolution spectrum, so indeed an inverse FFT will produce a (fictitious) waveform whose spectrum is the frequency response. I can't see much use for that.

Re: ISL70444SEH declaration issue?
That's not a huge undershoot, not compared to the pulse itself.? The undershoot is -125 mV and it lasts for less than 10 ns.? If you made the I1 pulsewidth wide enough so that the op-amp's output

Re: ISL70444SEH declaration issue?
Hi Andy. Thank you for your feedback. When I mentioned that I was not seeing what I expected at the output of the TIA, I should have been more precise. I am not sure I understand why there is so much

Re: .imp file
Going back to this discussion adding another tidbit: If you run an .AC analysis, and then do a View > FFT, LTspice will gladly perform an (inverse) FFT on the frequency-domain output from the .AC

Re: Warning: Multiple definitions of model ...
No doubt you can carry out an optimization, but it requires a deep knowledge of what each of the model's parameters determines, which is far from straightforward. It's unlikely that a model with

Re: Warning: Multiple definitions of model ...
Good stuff. For accurate model assessment and optimisation, I also have a method of importing the datasheet data into LTspice for direct comparison. It's this latter bit that's onerous, because it

Re: Warning: Multiple definitions of model ...
What you say about this is true, hFE does have significant statistical spreads, but the datasheet limits are probably set at 3 sigma (any outside this being rejected, being only a 0.3% loss). 3 sigma

You put your device and its model into a curve-tracer .ASC and set it up to produce (if it will) the same curves as in the data sheet. Compare the results. You can find curve-tracer .ASCs by going to
