You should post the .ASC file (it's text). Most people here can't run the netlist (actually .cir file) that you have posted. You have several syntax issues: (1) multiple declarations of the same Spice model and (2) calls to library paths that will be different for each of us.

Well guys, here is the NETLIST of my 3-bit ADC....sure it is not a very good looking one (my first complete ADC with only 2 weeks of LTspice experience) but it works :)
Here is the NETLIST. Please run it and tell me how much time does the simulation takes for , say , 10ms transient. Please tell ASAP :)

Try running a DC Sweep and see what you get.

We have raid hdds in the new Dells, but no ssds. The built-in "classic" desktop is pretty good in Win7; it kills the absurd Aero thing, so you can actually see most of the icons. I miss not seeing file/folder sizes at the botttom of the Explorer panes, and the up-directory arrow. -- John Larkin Highland Technology, Inc lunatic fringe electronics jlarkin att highlandtechnology dott com http://www.highlandtechnology.com

Okay so here is the 8x3 encoder I am working on right now ( which I will be installing after Delta-Sigma Modulator. http://sub.allaboutcircuits.com/images/04258.png And here is the netlist * C:\Program Files (x86)\LTC\LTspiceIV\Draft3.asc R1 REF N005 100 R2 N005 N008 100 R3 N008 N011 100 R4 N011 N014 100 R5 N014 N017 100 R6 N017 N020 100 R7 N020 N023 100 R8 N023 0 100 XU1 IN N005 N002 N003 N004 LT1007 XU2 IN N008 N002 N003 N007 LT1007 XU3 IN N011 N002 N003 N010 LT1007 XU4 IN N014 N002 N003 N013 LT1007 XU5 IN N017 N002 N003 N016 LT1007 XU6 IN N020 N002 N003 N019 LT1007 XU7 IN N023 N002 N003 N022 LT1007 XU8 0 N004 N001 XOR XU9 N004 N007 N006 XOR XU10 N007 N010 N009 XOR XU11 N010 N013 N012 XOR XU12 N013 N016 N015 XOR XU13 N016 N019 N018 XOR XU14 N019 N022 N021 XOR D1 N001 LSB 1N4148 D2 N001 2SB 1N4148 D3 N001 MSB 1N4148 R9 MSB 0 1000 R10 2SB 0 1000 R11 LSB 0 1000 D4 N006 MSB 1N4148 D5 N006 2SB 1N4148 D6 N009 MSB 1N4148 D7 N009 LSB 1N4148 D8 N012 MSB 1N4148 D9 N015 2SB 1N4148 D10 N015 LSB 1N4148 D11 N018 2SB 1N4148 D12 N021 LSB 1N4148 V1 N002 0 7 V2 0 N003 1 .model D D .lib C:\Program Files (x86)\LTC\LTspiceIV\lib\cmp\standard.dio * MSB * LSB .lib C:\Users\Ziaullah\Desktop\XOR\XOR.lib .lib LTC.lib .backanno .end I am using XOR gate symbol I made using NOT , AND, OR gates (AND OR using NAND NOR and NOT) https://asicdigitaldesign.files.wordpress.com/2007/05/high-z_solution_02.png which in turn were symbolized by myself using Psudo-NMOS logic. Now the circuit is taking like 10 minutes or something to simulate 20us of waveform....where am I missing ? I have made a 2-bit encoder and it takes much less time for simulation of same amount of time. The worries are that I need to install this circuit after Sigma - Delta modulator , so most probably it will take around 20-30 minutes which is quite unacceptable ! Please guide me as I am new to spice environment. Thanks again ! Also, before simulation starts, a line comes for 3-4 minutes saying "Parsing 475 circuit elements". What does that mean ? P.S :- If you have any working 2-3bit (or more ) Delta sigma ADC , please do post it. I will use it as a reference :) Thanks

A word of caution. There are numerous SSD tuning guides and programs found on the internet. They vary from a few obvious and conservative tweaks, to massive overkill with some potentially detrimental to performance tweaks. For example, several such guides suggest disabling system restore, which I consider a lousy idea. If your SSD includes tuning software, such as Samsung Magician, I suggest you use it. <http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/minisite/SSD/global/html/support/downloads.html>\ Also use the program to check if your SSD is accumulating too many bad blocks, and to check for firmware updates. For Windoze 7, I'm still undecided on which guide to follow. So far this is the most reasonable that I've found and followed: <http://www.disk-partition.com/kb/tips-ssd-optimization-windows7-1.html> You also need to test if your SSD partitions are aligned on 4K blocks. The easiest test uses "AS SSD" benchmark: <http://www.alex-is.de/PHP/fusion/downloads.php?download_id=9> It should look like this: <http://superuser.com/questions/718505/is-my-ssd-disk-aligned-to-4k-sectors-and-if-not-how-do-i-fix-it> As long as your SSD was formatted with Vista, Win 7 or later, you're probably ok. (I had one that was running XP which took a while, but worked once I decoded the instructions).

Just do it. It's painless: <http://www.classicshell.net/features/> You can also temporarily disabled it if it gets in the way, hit <shift><click> to temporarily revert to the Microsoft start thing, or uninstall it if you hate it. The one annoyance that it fixes for me is removing the wiggly icons from the Win 10 start screen. Consider yourself fortunate not to have a wiggly icons start screen in Win 7. -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558

My new Dell (they made me upgrade!) runs Spice about 5x faster than my old HP, so that's in the ballpark. The SSD may help a bit, saving the .RAW data faster. I'm fine-tuning the Dell at work before we clone it to my new home and cabin machines.

Well, post your circuit! The thing below is a 1st order delta-sigma used to make an analog signal isolator, to get an analog signal up into an isolated channel. It runs 20 ms of sim in about 30 seconds with a 50 ns time step, on my ancient HP machine. We're not going to do it this way, but it was interesting. We'll use a DAC1220 (which is an integrated D-S dac) with an ADUM1400 isolated SPI interface. 5 sec. sim time with Intel I7 core and SSD Cheers, Harry
