    [SOLVED] LTSpice Simulation error

    I got it to work by using a .txt file for the MJL21194 instead of a .rtf file. All sorted thanks

    [SOLVED] LTSpice Simulation error

    Thank you. It was imported and saved in a text editor on a Mac and which saves as an rtf file. So I need to find an editor that saves in .txt instead of .rtf

    [SOLVED] LTSpice Simulation error

    That’s the point, there are none that I can find - hence the post.

    Ok but doesn't the net list only appear when the simulation is run successfully? 1702234064 Here they are:

    [SOLVED] LTSpice Simulation error

    The imported model for the MJL21194 and which I have checked the file to see if there are any “\cb1” characters in. This is the file text: .MODEL Qmjl21194 npn +IS=9.56205e-11 BF=62.3633 NF=0.858602 VAF=29.6613 +IKF=9.86004 ISE=7.00007e-12 NE=3.43749 BR=4.96358 +NR=0.925054 VAR=6.18692...

    [SOLVED] LTSpice Simulation error

    Do you mean the inductors? They are all intrinsic Spice components and I’ve checked the imported MJL21194 model.

    [SOLVED] LTSpice Simulation error

    Hi there, I am trying to run a simulation in LTSpice of the circuit below but it keeps coming up with an error as in the image below. Can anyone suggest what "\cb1" refers to? There is nothing in the imported transistor model to account for it. Thanks Julian

    [SOLVED] LTSpice model for Power Transistor MJL21194C

    Thanks. I will see how to add it to the LTSpice library.

    [SOLVED] LTSpice model for Power Transistor MJL21194C

    Hi all, I'm exploring LTSpice and am trying to find out how to add a transistor that is not in its immediate NPN model library. Specifically, I'm looking for a model for the MJL21194 that I can somehow add to the Spice library. Any ideas on where to get a good model for this one? Thanks

    Protecting FETs from CEMF spikes

    Hi all, Over the last week or so I have been working on calibrating the updated potential divider that uses 100k resistors and includes a cap trimmer for probe compensation (Pic 1). Early tests using DC and square wave calibration waveforms and voltages were helpful in setting the compensation...

    Protecting FETs from CEMF spikes

    Yes, using just the relay works a treat 😊 Thank you all for your suggestions. Onwards now with the cap dump and revised voltage divider.

    Protecting FETs from CEMF spikes

    Hi Brian, Yes I will certainly try just using the relay and no FETs. The reason for having a swapper at all is so that the battery providing all the power is not being pulsed at the same time with the HV spikes or, in due course, the high current capacitor discharges. The one being pulsed is...

    Protecting FETs from CEMF spikes

    Interesting- from what you say I should either reduce the voltage to the Gate, say to 6V, so that Vgs is significantly greater than the Vgs (th) or do without the FETs altogether. When I considered the latter some years ago I thought that the small relay was not up to switching 2A securely. I...

    Protecting FETs from CEMF spikes

    I’m not claiming anything yet till I’ve done my testing but I take your point. I need the swap fets to act like a simple switch, letting through the battery voltage when triggered by the relay. The typical current demand is about 2A max. Yes I loose 1-2 V but that’s not important here. I note...
