Here is what I have: .model LXHL-BW02 D(Is=4.5e-20 Rs=.85 N=2.6 Cjo=1.18n Xti=200 Iave=400mA Vpk=5 mfg=Lumileds type=LED) How do I change the Vf at a specified current? I suspect that it is more involved than just changing Rs. Thanks, Guys.

LEDs get more linear, ohmic, at high currents. Just fiddle until the simulated E:I curve matches your real part.

Toss those parameters completely, Set Solver=Alternate Tweak IS, Rs, N and EG to curve fit to your data.

LTspice has encryption too, you twit. .MODEL D D(...) is a standard device model format that will "play" on any other Spice-compliant simulator. Mikey's version will not. The proper way to handle such a model is to define it as a subcircuit with parameter-passing. Most LTspice models of their standard products won't "play" on any other simulator. Is that good business? TI seems to have (somewhat) caught on to the fact that they need to offer across-platform/simulator models. Wonder when Analog Devices (nee Linear) will catch on, toss Mikey, and make available compliant models? I doubt that it's long coming. The LTspice List is now consumed by questions about what LTspice doesn't do right, hangs or crashes.> >> >> Toss those parameters completely, >> >> Set Solver=Alternate >> >> Tweak IS, Rs, N and EG to curve fit to your data. >> >> For serious work, invest in a real simulator ;-) > >Board level models are so buggy in general that a bigger flyswatter just >makes a bigger mess.Baloney makes your head swell bigger ;-)> >Cheers > >Phil Hobbs...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson | mens | | Analog Innovations | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | STV, Queen Creek, AZ 85142 Skype: skypeanalog | | | Voice:(480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | It's what you learn, after you know it all, that counts.
