Cannot get correct output in PSpice with the Buck Converter PSpice Transient Model from TI

I obtained the LM76005-Q1 transient model from the Texas Instrument website and imported it to PSpice. The website also provides a Design Calculator software, so I basically use it to determine other ...

I need to implement DC and transient analysis of diode and transistor circuits. How can I do that?

I am doing a MATLAB project at my university. I have tried to implement DC and transient analysis of diode and transistor circuits by linearizing them and using iterative methods, but the results don'...

Artifacts in transient analysis

Is there some rigorous treatment of convergence issues in transient analysis? I am using LTSpice. In transient analysis with maximum time-step is used. Fundamental oscillatory frequency of analysed ...

pseudo transient analysis issue

Note: pseudo transient analysis issue means that the LTSpice simulator is stucked with running pseudo transient analysis forever without any output waveform results. The pseudo transient analysis ...

How can I make LTSpice calculate the transient response starting from a time different than t=zero?

I'm creating a schematic and I'm trying to simulate it using LTSpice. However, my RC time constant is quite large, and I'd like Spice to simulate only from around 10ms onward. I know that if i set ....

Inserting an unused voltage source in LTspice messes up transient results

This took me three days to figure out. Consider this simple circuit in LTspice: Looks pretty innocent. The output is a 1V sine wave, as expected. Going to View->FFT, setting number of data points to ...

What is meant by "DC operating point analysis" in SPICE programs?

Here is a paragraph I came across: Since transient analysis is dependent on time, it uses different analysis algorithms, control options with different convergence-related issues and different ...

Spice definition of resistor/capacitor

I am trying to understand a Spice definition of a circuit and transient analysis on it. I have kind of "inherited" this and can't ask the original creator; my Spice memories from university are pretty ...

About SPICE: Should I use transient analysis or DC linear analysis?

My question is specifically linked to an exam problem where I had to find a function in terms of time for the current on a capacitor and a resistor. The circuit was very simple: A current time-variant ...
