LTSpice

Started by Michael Robinson May 18, 2011
I need to simulate a circuit with an lm393 comparator in it.  I went to the
yahoo group and got a file called lm393_st.txt.  I renamed it lm393.sub and
put it in the sub folder.  Then I drew my circuit using a universal op amp
symbol, which I named lm393.  LTSpice doesn't recognize it, with or without
an include statement.  What do I do?

Hello Michael, The examples in the LTspice Yahoo group run out of the box. Just unzip the zip-file from Files>Lib to any folder and start the .asc file. Files > Lib > LM339_LM393.zip http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/LTspice/files/%20Lib/ Best regards, Helmut

In the library where it says "Comparator LM339 and LM393 Three models for this comparator" I click on "Comparator LM339 and LM393" and it takes me to this link http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/LTspice/files/%20Lib/Comparator%20LM339%20and%20LM393/ that has various .txt, .asc and .asy files. I want to use the lm393. I have three choices: lm393_st.txt, LM393A.5_1_ti.txt, or LM393_ST_TI_AI_test.asc. As I explained in my previous post, I got nowhere with the text files. So this time I try opening LM393_ST_TI_AI_test.asc in LTSpice. A schematic opens, but without the symbols for the comparators. I go back to the collection of comparator files so I can retrieve the symbol LTSpice is calling for. I find XOPAMP_ST.ASY and save it in the opamp folder in the symbol folder in LTSpice. It turns out the file linked to from "XOPAMP_ST.ASY" on that page was actually named XOPAMP_ST-2, so I rename it XOPAMP_ST and now when I open the test schematic, I get a symbol in the ST portion of the test circuit. I want to see if it works, so I delete the other test circuits and click simulate. I get the message, "Could not open include file 'lm393_st.txt'" Maybe you can explain what my next step should be.

Hello Michael, I have send you an email with an attached example. Best regards, Helmut
