Tool/software:
This simulation file can only simulate 0-400 us, and an error message of U12 occurs when more time is added. What is the problem? How can it be solved so that the simulation can be extended to 30 ms or more? Otherwise, we cannot see the complete waveform.
I have set it up according to the instructions in the picture, but it still doesn't work.
Yuetong,
First fix these errors.
Then fix that ground and analog ground don't appear to be connected properly.
After that we can help get it to run.
I already fixed it, but I realized
1, simulation is very slow, very slow.
2. The simulation time is limited. And the simulation is up to about 150ms, or a little higher. A little longer will report an error, not convergence, can not reach the second level,
Yuetong,
I'm not sure if warnings errors are fixed or muted. The signal flow is mostly left to right so I started removing things on right. To left of opto-coupler, the sim runs well and quick enough. I did have to connect AGND with GND, I used an ampere meter to see how much leakage flows.
Here is the left part; I'll continue trying to add back things.
Yuetong,
I added R55 as a dummy element between both grounds because TI-tina is not happy with true isolation.
I changed R11 to a lower value because I wanted higher opto-coupler LED current.
I removed the T11 transistor base to emitter short wire. This one was hard to find until I saw it then it was super obvious.
This does simulate but it will be slow because there are fast timer logic signals and slow analog ramps. The only path around this is to simulate in smaller pieces.
Can you research and set up simulation parameters that would make the simulation run faster?
I also found an issue at U11, where the current through AM3 should be 1.23/10k according to the calculations, but it is higher due to U11. I tried replacing it with a TL062CPWR, but a2514.FINAL--MODITY-SLOW.TSCfter the replacement, I was unable to simulate the circuit. Could you please tell me what the reason is?
Is there any progress now? There is current flowing into U11 input terminal, and the simulation is running slowly. Can it be sped up as soon as possible?
Yuetong,
Of course there is input current on U11. The data sheet say this is expected. try an op amp without these diodes.
It can be sped up by testing sections separately or by substitution (replacing high frequency item with low frequency output).
f i want output is 5V at 313 Ω input PT100,device parameter should be changed?
This is good to know. Previously I thought there was no input and you were trying to build a slow ramp output in the most complicated manner possible.
5V output at 313 ohms input is just half of the story; I expect you need different output voltage at some other input resistance.
Have you considered using a linear isolation chip? letting the chip do all the hard work.
This is a fast simulation way to check U11 circuit. DC solution display is easy here.
