Hi there

I need help on this ckt to to transient analaysis. I am getting the error . I have copied and paste the some of the similar error but there are more there i also have attached the pic of whole unit and a Individual unit. please help me why i cant get the transient analysis. My ckt has no error for sure.
thank you

i cant get the transient analysis. My ckt has no error for sure.
Where's the transient stimulus?

Did the DC analysis work correctly? I can't see any VDD supply source, nor a GND symbol or any globals.
There are negative voltages shown!?

Does the single full adder work correctly?
 

I have mention the image again here. all the adder and And gate as a single unit works properly. there is global Vdd and Gnd in the ckt.

 

The first thing I would ask is, is there one and only one
valid initial state for every node? For example, are there
flip-flops or latches whose initial condition is "unknown"?
At t=0 there can be no prior clock edge and you need an
asynchronous reset unless you want to try to solve for
the third stable point (meta-).

Then I would ask whether a DC operating point can be
produced for exactly equal dc=(t=0) stimuli. If yes, then
go use that for initial conditions and save the simulator
some work. If no, double down on the lack-of-authority
angle.

Now there do seem to be a lot of crazy looking voltages,
negative Vf looking, as if maybe the positive supply was
not there, or something has pumped body nodes below
ground. Unless this is ECL/SCL or something unusual.

In any case it's not good form to assert your circuit is
error free when you can't even get it to run. Strike a
pose after you get the medal.
 

Hi, i have a problem with the simulation of that circuit:circuit.jpg

and the error is this one : error.jpg

Anybody can help me please?

Thanks!
 

I've the same problem of convergence problem but this time when I give -ve supply to PNP Q2N2907 then it occurs. However when I interchange terminals then there is no error & bias point calculated which should not happen. 555 Amplifier Circuit.jpg

I am designing this circuit for simple amplifier where 250K resistor should be a sensor to sense small input signal. Will this circuit work?
