BJT transístor model standards

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TINA-TI

Hello,

I want to simulate a circuit with this bjt: http://www.onsemi.com/PowerSolutions/supportDoc.do?type=models&rpn=MJE3055T 

So I've taken the Spice3 model they provide:

 

And turned it into this

 

It doesn't work, cannot import. Can someone advise on the right syntax, please?.

Many thanks!

  • Jorge,

    You do not need to use the .SUBCKT format. TINA-TI will import the .MODEL correctly, however, you have to know what to expect when importing the model file. Simply save the model into a .lib file. In this case, I used MJE3055T.lib. Use the New Macro Wizard to import the .lib file.

    Click on Next after you have chosen the file. You will notice that the window that comes up is blank.

    Click on Next and choose where to save the macro. TINA will then ask you to place the device in your schematic. You may place it or load it from the macro you created. When you open the macro, it will look different:

    To see the parameters, double right click on the symbol and the following window will pop up:

    Click on the ellipsis next to the model name on the Type line:

    Now you have a fully functioning macro in TINA-TI.

    mje3055T.TSM

  • It's just amazing that you took the time to do all this, thank you very much! It is really invaluable for the illiterate like me :D

    I managed to do everything you said. Now, I'm trying to use it together with other components to build a circuit.


    So, whenever I insert it onto a new design sheet, should I enter it (double click) and select the name and do ok? Or was it just that once (the last step you made)?

    Best Regards!
  • Jorge,

    That was only to show where the information was stored. Once you have created the .TSM file (macro), you can use the File-->Insert Macro... function to place the macro into the schematic.
