10m45s LTspice model

I downloaded the supertex.lib file from their web site and usd a .lib directive to point to it.

.lib "C:\LTC Spice\Models\supertex.lib"

However, I get an error message "Only a level 9 B3SOI can have 5 nodes" when I try to run the simulation. Does anyone know what this is?
 
All these parts are simple depletion mode MOSFETs. Someone guessed (IOW made it up) that they are ICs inside and that misinformation got echo chambered. Great example of "I read it somewhere". Why post information if you're not certain?

They are also NOT drop-in interchangeable. They will work similarly in some circuits but definitely not in all circuits.

Whether the model for one device can be substituted for another in Spice depends entirely on how sensitive the circuit is to the actual Vth and device capacitance etc. For example, a self-bias CCS using a different device may need to have a different value of Rs to achieve the same idle current.

The problem with bad results is in the models and not in the Spice platform. many models, especially tube models, are not very sophisticated and only model the device properly under the more common operating conditions.

cheers,

Hi, looking for this model. The link for the 10m90s no longer works.

I'll settle for the supertex.lib though. However, not sure what is meant by

.lib "C:\LTC Spice\Models\supertex.lib"

Do I type the above as a SPICE directive after putting the supertex.lib file in the Models folder of LTC Spice?

thanks!

Tom, how about this:confused:? One circuit with 10m90s, LND150 and DN2540:eek::D

All I can say is that I used the 10M90S (not sure where I found this one) as a substitute for the 10M45S and the differences between the model and actual measurements are that big that I don’t trust this kind of simulation. My measurements and ears seem to do a much better job in this particular case. If necessary I will look again into the 10M45S LTspice model. So just be carefull not to make too much judgements based on the simulation.

Try this model , save as .inc or just directive, needs to patch asy file for it to work (see attached), save the new asy file in asy directory and insert component for 10m45s.

Code:
.subckt 10M45S A G K
+params: Aol=100 GBW=10meg ref=3
 
M1 A 5 K K MOSFET1
* V1 4 G 3
G1 G 5 4 K {Aol}
R1 5 G 1
C1 5 G {Aol/GBW/6.28318530717959}
G2 G 4 value={(ref+V(A,K)/500)}
R2 4 G 1
 
.model MOSFET1 VDMOS(Rg=2 Vto=4.85 Rd=1m Rs=1m Rb=1.2m Kp=33
+lambda=0.01 Cgs=1.4n Cgdmin=48p Cgdmax=1.9n Cjo=4n Is=2n Vds=450
+Ron=0.92 Qg=48n)
.ends
NMOS asy for 10m45s:-

Thanks, the 10M45S file does not work for me. Can't open file library in LTspice.


I believe the error message you encountered is because you run sim using IXCP10m90S not 10M45S as 10M45S does not required a .lib file. If so, just click Tools, Control Panel to include the library search path for IXCP10m90S.lib, this is because the .lib directive does not seem to work hence additional search path.

I create a new symbol asy for 10M45S to be consistent with 10M90S and include the .inc files as below and you should include the lib search path as before:-


Code:
Version 4
SymbolType BLOCK
RECTANGLE Normal 33 49 -48 -48
WINDOW 0 33 -47 Bottom 2
WINDOW 3 33 -7 Left 2
SYMATTR Value IXCP10M45S
SYMATTR Prefix X
SYMATTR ModelFile IXCP10M45S.inc
PIN 0 -48 TOP 8
PINATTR PinName A
PINATTR SpiceOrder 1
PIN -48 0 LEFT 8
PINATTR PinName G
PINATTR SpiceOrder 2
PIN 0 48 BOTTOM 8
PINATTR PinName K
 PINATTR SpiceOrder 3
IXCP10M45S.inc, only change the name, no other changes.

Code:
.subckt IXCP10M45S A G K
+params: Aol=100 GBW=10meg ref=3
 
M1 A 5 K K MOSFET1
* V1 4 G 3
G1 G 5 4 K {Aol}
R1 5 G 1
C1 5 G {Aol/GBW/6.28318530717959}
G2 G 4 value={(ref+V(A,K)/500)}
R2 4 G 1
 
.model MOSFET1 VDMOS(Rg=2 Vto=4.85 Rd=1m Rs=1m Rb=1.2m Kp=33
+lambda=0.01 Cgs=1.4n Cgdmin=48p Cgdmax=1.9n Cjo=4n Is=2n Vds=450
+Ron=0.92 Qg=48n)
.ends
