Re: Over-voltage protection circuit does not work as expected
As much as a defective Power MOSFET can prevent a series-protected voltage limiter, a problem with the crowbar thyristor or its control circuit can defeat its purpose. Nothing is ever perfect.

Re: Over-voltage protection circuit does not work as expected
I would not designate the proposed circuit as an overvoltage protection circuit. At most it's something like a "voltage clipper" or "voltage limiter" for excessive input voltage excursions. Let's

Re: Over-voltage protection circuit does not work as expected
Hello, I have uploaded circuit that finally works as executed with a good TLV1805 model found online. The problem was the ic. I have used a voltage comparator from the LTSpice library list with an

Re: Any Good Reason to Create a Hierarchical Connector and Conductors to Route (Plumb) Ground Out of a Hierarchical Schematic
I am pretty sure this has nothing to do with version 24.1.1.? I think LTspice has always behaved this way - going back at least as far as LTspice IV and probably earlier. Bee careful here.? When

Re: Any Good Reason to Create a Hierarchical Connector and Conductors to Route (Plumb) Ground Out of a Hierarchical Schematic
That can easily be avoided too, if you know you want to. Technically, the "hidden" connection is to a not-hidden pin on the A-device symbol's lower left corner.? If the pin is left floating, which is

Re: Any Good Reason to Create a Hierarchical Connector and Conductors to Route (Plumb) Ground Out of a Hierarchical Schematic
Just an observation: there are a number of opamp models (for example) that bring a V- (negative supply) pin out of the subckt. The assumption being that the device can be used with V- grounded or with

It is the case in 99.99% instances. There are a few Spice models that include parasitics that vary with packaging, but they are very high-frequency devices. -- This email has been checked for viruses

Re: In need of some zeners or maybe model them myself
I'm afraid I can't offer any leads to Spice models. But I doubt that the transistor is very different from others with similar voltage and current ratings. The data sheet will show that (or not, if

Any Good Reason to Create a Hierarchical Connector and Conductors to Route (Plumb) Ground Out of a Hierarchical Schematic
Hello All: Just an FYI. On 24.1.1, I added a hierarchical connector named RTN, and conductors, to route a net that was connected ground (GND) (node 0), out of a hierarchical schematic to permit
