I figured that I could bootstrap an LT Spice sample/hold to make a stairstep waveform. Without the RC, the output jumps to +10 volts at the first clock edge. And the RC has to be right to get a proper stairstep.

Any good articles in using IGBTs in linear mode? With all due respect for the uselessness of SPICE when you can't do the work on paper -- does anyone know how good a SPICE model designed for an IGBT in switched service might work in linear mode? Who tends to have better models for linear service? Whether anyone has models specifically for IGBTs in linear mode? TIA -- IGBTs seem to ...

Could some electronics/Spice guru shed some light on this. Suppose I want to measure the input impedance of a test circuit. The impedance can be AC or DC. Let us consider DC. I set up the following circuit, with a DC voltage source, connected with a voltage source with zero DC and AC output, followed by the circuit under test. I sweep the DC voltage of the first DC voltage source....

I bought a candy bar that was 91% cocoa. Actually, they had one that was 100% but I chickened out on that. The 91 is too bitter for us to eat. But gently melted with a little heavy cream, it becomes an excellent ice cream sauce. All while my Spice sim is still running at 15 PPM of real time.

This is pleasingly weird. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/sif3efs69dxe1mg/AACY0RJGXl4k8CVvauUbJtYFa?dl=0 Sort of a baseline-boosted multi-auto-transformer voltage-doubler flyback. What's strange is that adding the two snubbers increases the LT spice sim speed radically, about 10:1.

I usually have a couple of "voltage" things off to the side, making +5 and -5 or whatever, and have each opamp with little doglegs on its power pins, same net names. Somewhere I thought I saw a circuit where the opamps were powered by little boxes with "+5" or something inside, with no other supply needed. Does that work? If so, how do you invoke it? -- John Larkin ...

While my sim is running, I can do all sorts of things. Grocery shop, prowl the web, take a nap. https://xkcd.com/303/ Same idea. My alternator simulator simulation (!) takes about 25 minutes to rev up, running 10 or so PPM of real time. It's nicely settled in about an hour.

Hi all, It still amazes me after all the years LTspice has been around the standard parts library in it remains so tiny. I don't think this long- standing defect in otherwise very good program will ever be fixed. So like anyway, has anyone got a model for a BD131 NPN transistor they could post here? TIA folks. CD
