LM329 LTSpice model needed

[popilin]

Hi all

A couple of days I search unsuccessfully.

If anyone has it, thanks in advance. 🙂

 

[jackinnj]

There's a partial schematic on page 3 of the data-sheet -- it'll get you 90% of the way there if you create a sub-ckt from it.

 

[popilin]

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try.

 

[jcx]

what properties matter in your circuit?

I'd just use a DC Vsource and maybe series R, L for 99% of apps

unless you are switching it on/off in circuit operation, or are (avoidably) shunting directly with too high Q a C...

Here's one such example:

what properties matter in your circuit?

I'm focusing on noise simulations, I would use lithium battery, but I do a soft start and a capacitor in parallel is not a good idea

Here's one such example:

Wow !

Thanks a lot !

I never use spice noise modeling - after getting a sim fully working in .TRAN I may check sensitivities with .AC - and apply those numbers to actual datasheet noise plots if needed

mostly I just use back of the envelope calcs and the datasheets - and I have designed electronic device noise limited interfaces for many types of transducers professionally - never looked like spice .noise analysis could help - really limited by the real part performance and the system noise from layout, ps, gnds...

 

[popilin]

Strongly agree.
Never able to make a decent noise simulation, it seems to me that mathematical models are incomplete in that issue.
Me too I deal with .tran and .ac

However, my knowledge is pretty limited, almost as much as my instruments.
Simulations are my walking stick. 😀

Thanks for your reply.

 

[peranders]

Just a LP filter and your noise problem is solved. Noise under 1 uV.

 

[popilin]

Thanks for your reply.

I need noise density around 1nV/sqrHz because it is amplified by an Op Amp, a LP RC filter seems to work, but with low R (thermal noise) I need very high C, but don't care, everything for the sound. 😀

 

[macboy]

You shouldn't need to simulate the op-amp noise in spice, and in fact, I doubt you will get accurate noise numbers from a best-effort model. Your best bet is to calculate the effective noise using the input voltage and current noise specifications of the op-amp (and of what is feeding it), and the gain and bandwidth of your application. This isn't trivial to do but it isn't hard. Developing a model with accurate noise performance would be much more difficult.

Some time has past since this thread was opened.

Has anyone found an LM329 LTSpice model?

20 secs on Google, here on diyaudio, on the previous page of this thread ;-)

Thanks!

Looked in Google for two days before writing on this thread, as it was old.

I found one sub files for LM339, but not 329. Was going to go the Yahoo group.

BTW: someone helped found the way to compute the exact value for the resistors in the super-regulator.

 

[carlmart]

It wasn't that straightaway to get it.
