     Thinking outside the box... producing elegant solutions,
              by understanding what nature is hiding.

How do they differ from what the manufacturer supplies here:? http://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/en/en010665#datasheet-toggle

you have to click "view datasheet" and then the spice model is available

My version converges and runs on LTspice. The Microchip version hangs on LTspice. ...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 | Thinking outside the box... producing elegant solutions, by understanding what nature is hiding.

Elaborating: I got into the Spice modeling business several years ago when I had a need for a model of a chip that a client wanted me to design an interface to. No model existed, so I rolled my own. That turned into a hobby... amusing myself by how compactly I could model the essence of an OpAmp... often as little as one to two lines in a subcircuit. The hobby has now become a business, nearly 80% of my workload... great, because the chip business has migrated to needing only very low power analog interfaces into digital processing :-( Which interfaces I design for a number of small medically-oriented chip houses. As for what I announced here... I don't pick part numbers out of the air... how could I know what people need? Like most of the models on my Device Models & Subcircuits Page this was from a post on the LTspice List... nobody could get the Microchip model to run on LTspice... so I took that as a challenge... and succeeded ;-) Most of what I'm doing now isn't so simple... humongous complicated functions where companies need to present a model that doesn't divulge their IP, yet simulates smoothly on ALL platforms. Inquiries welcome ;-) ...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 | Thinking outside the box... producing elegant solutions, by understanding what nature is hiding.

Timestep too small, before even completing a rising edge.  Occurs even at 
embarassingly loose settings (ABSTOL, CHGTOL = 1u).  XSPICE.

Here's an interesting one:
https://www.seventransistorlabs.com/Images/LTSpice_TC4421.png

Small tweaks to initial timestep make big differences!  Extreme sensitivity.

Oldish version of LTspice4 (Mar 5 2015) because I don't care about updating.

For other conditions, some traces continue plotting, while some stop in 
their tracks.  What the hell is that about?

Regarding input clamp: the original model actually does that?
Holy /fuck/!

Yes. If that gives heartburn, set PARAM CLAMP=0.

I had no problem at all running on LTspice IV, but I always use "Alternate Solver". ...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 | Thinking outside the box... producing elegant solutions, by understanding what nature is hiding.
