Also if your chosen part manufacturer can't help you get spice models, then why give them any business ;) | |
| Nov 14, 2012 at 22:42 | comment | added | Some Hardware Guy | This is pretty common, usually we build our libraries of parts, schematics and models ourselves over time. A lot of times if you find a part you like you can find a generic model from the manufacturer (sometimes you have to ask them for it directly). Then your tools should have a way to import and use that model. As for components in a library I usually draw them by hand, although there is software to automate that with data coming from a datasheet. There's also software that automates taking the part data out of farnell, or digikey and putting it into your own database. | |
