start learning LTspice, and facing error

[snowcatmaiden]

Hello,

I am now start learning LTSPICE
and I got a .SUBCKT data of 2sc3601 from another thread.

there is no problem for usual .model
but using this .subckt I face the problem as in the captured screen.

What is the exact problem?
or the .subckt has problem?

Thanks a lot. 🙂

You can't use the symbol "npn" with a subckt. You can add a npn symbol to the same directory/folder where you schematic (.asc) file(s) are located. When you go to choose a symbol, click on the "Top Directory" drop down box and choose the symbol that you've added.

Attached is a .asy file you can use. Remove the ".txt" extension at the end of the file name.

Thanks for your reply.

so the procedures will be replacing Q1 with xnpn symbol
then .include the 2sc3601.sub
then change the value to Q2sc3601?

Error still 🙁

Or I should create new symbol by the 2sc3601.sub

i post the .subckt here, maybe there is error

The .MODEL statement is missing and .END should be .ENDS
I've commented out the 'unknown parameters', that which LTspice does not use and dropped the 'Q' so the subckt name and the file name will be the same. You can add the 'Q' back if you like.

With this model below you can use the default npn symbol as I see no need to use a subckt with it. That is unless you would want to use a drop-down menu. That would be a diiferent topic for a different time. 😉
