Re: Modeling Constant Power Load with AC Source in LTspice
Andy, I am surprised at your response; you are typically very on point! The OP stated: ¡°convergence failure when I run transient analysis¡± That zero crossing¡ That said, with two devices, I was

Re: Modeling Constant Power Load with AC Source in LTspice
For AC analysis of an active network, isn't the "gain" at the operating point used? If so, does that load function provide a stable operating point - that is, can an operating point really be found?

Re: Modeling Constant Power Load with AC Source in LTspice
Smoother functions are almost always better, in terms of stability and avoiding instability. What zero crossing?? If it is an .AC analysis that you're doing, there are no zero-crossings.? There are

Re: Modeling Constant Power Load with AC Source in LTspice
I am not sure how that relates to the circuit elements and their equations that you used.? But note that the formula for P has a significant discontinuity at V(vout) = 5.? The discontinuity also

Re: Modeling Constant Power Load with AC Source in LTspice
LTspice has a constant power load already.? See: https://www.analog.com/en/resources/technical-articles/ltspice-modeling-constant-power-loads.html However, that is intended for .TRAN or .OP or .DC

Modeling Constant Power Load with AC Source in LTspice
Hi all, I'm trying to model a ** constant power load fed by a single-phase AC source in LTspice. I seem to run into convergence failure when I run transient analysis What I¡¯m doing: * I¡¯m using a

Re: Making a PWM a continuous voltage source
I do not understand why the "|" character is there in the LTwiki page for "Undocumented LTspice".? I am sure that was a typo.? As far as I know, the pipe character is never used anywhere in LTspice

Re: Making a PWM a continuous voltage source
Try removing the pipe. That part of the documentation is confusing. The example showing the pipe doesn't mean you should add it. Using the syntax from the other clearer example: PWL REPEAT FOREVER (

Making a PWM a continuous voltage source
Is it possible to make a PWM signal a continuous voltage source ? I have these PWL points in a file but simulating this I have transient response and decay behaviour. I would like to do a FFT on the

Re: LTspice 24.1.7 program exit
Perhaps you forgot to substitute your computer's "path" to the standard.dio file, in the ".lib" statement.? Obviously, eT edited that line to remove his computer's unique path. I did mean LTspice

Meaning of gshunt
Hi, This topic can be closed. I translated the description incorrectly (conductance vs. resistance)... Thanks. Marco

Re: LTspice 24.1.7 program exit
Thanks! That was the missing piece. The topology checker removes I1 and then the dc-sweep accesses that, which may or may not cause a crash. Will be fixed. Best Regards, Mathias

It crashes in 24.1.4, too. The "expanded" netlist is: LTspice 24.1.4 for Windows Circuit: I:\tony\Desktop\Test.cir Start Time: Mon Apr 28 10:51:01 2025 ??? --- Expanded Netlist --- V1 ADJ 0 DC=0

Re: LTspice 24.1.7 program exit
I'd be quite interested in any evidence that could substantiate this claim. And with "before", I take it you don't mean LTspiceXVII, because I had that crashing multiple times per hour on bad days.
