Reverse breakdown rating of the gate-anode is also much higher in a PUT compared to an SCR gate-cathode (eg. +40V vs. -5V) Best regards, Spehro Pefhany -- "it's the network..."

In my case, the absence of UJT model gives me a decent excuse for delving deeper into LTSpice. My UJT forms a relaxation oscillator in hardware designed during the early 1970s. It's my understanding that the relaxation oscillator was a classic UJT application for that era, but others know best. Thank you again Jim for sharing all of your Spice data both in this thread and other threads. :) -- Don Kuenz

None of the above accurately models the DC component when a 2N4870 is used in the test circuit. The measured 2N4870 DC excursion is from about -1V to about +0.25V (IIRC). The 2N2646 in THYRYSTR.LIB comes closest to the AC component, except the observed peaks are much flatter, which makes the waveform look like a pulse with about a 90% duty cycle. Bordodynov keeps his 2N2646 in a file named Ujt&Put.lib. I may fiddle with this obsolete technology a bit more for the sake of delving deeper into SPICE modeling.

The common two-transistor version models PUT's quite well, I have to research the UJT curves and see if I can fit a parametric equation. ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson | mens | | Analog Innovations | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | San Tan Valley, AZ 85142 Skype: Contacts Only | | | Voice:(480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | I love to cook with wine.

But I did just check PS currents. Dandy match to load current _UNTIL_ railing, then bizarro... giga-amps >:-} I think they don't check their modeling work there at Analog Devices... just sling shit together. Studying their OpAmp models, it appears to be just a fill-in-the-blanks netlist :-( ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson | mens | | Analog Innovations | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | San Tan Valley, AZ 85142 Skype: Contacts Only | | | Voice:(480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | I love to cook with wine.
