Hi, what has recently happened to my Spice? Below is a simple resistor divider and this is the R2 voltage: https://i.postimg.cc/SxPYBV2c/spice.png Switching between solvers doesn't make any difference.

It only seems to do it with the "modified trap" integrator--switching to plain trapezoid or Gear fixes it, it looks like. None of the tolerances I fiddled with did anything. It works fine in LTspice IV. That's a super good test case for a bug report! (JT, were he here to see it, would be crowing about how much better Original Crispy PSPICE was. RIP.)

The "company" email address only means no Yahoo or Gmail accounts, even if that's what you actually use. There's an ADI part I want to redesign out because of price. The only alternative I've found so far is a Maxim part that can be even higher priced... and is now an ADI part. lol Low resistance, high voltage analog switch. Powered from ±12V and around 2-3 ohms, quad in a TSSOP-16. Being able to get the Maxim part was hugely important when the ADI part was not available. -- Rick C. + Get 1,000 miles of free Supercharging + Tesla referral code - https://ts.la/richard11209

An address along the lines of "1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington DC 20500" is always good. ;) Cheers Phil Hobbs -- Dr Philip C D Hobbs Principal Consultant ElectroOptical Innovations LLC / Hobbs ElectroOptics Optics, Electro-optics, Photonics, Analog Electronics Briarcliff Manor NY 10510 http://electrooptical.net http://hobbs-eo.com
