Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SN6501

Hi,
I am trying to simulate( 5V to ISO 5V) this circuit but it was showing an error while simulating component:U1*_U2_U7.D_D11 so, could you please help me with this issue

Hi Thangasamy,
Could you please share your file that you are trying to simulate? I can try to run your file. Thanks.

iso5V_1.TSC Here I have attached Isolation 5V circuit, Please check and let me know. Thanks
Hi Thangasamy,
Thank you for sharing the simulation file. Please allow me to come back to you on Monday, thanks.

Hi Thangasamy,
Thank you for your patience. Yes, I did try to simulate the file you have shared and I did notice the same error while running transient analysis.
The issue is primarily due to the transformer. Since the transformer is a short for DC analysis, the simulation doesn't find an operating point to begin simulation. When I modified the transformer parameters a little bit, I could get it to run but it being an ideal transformer there seem to be a convergence point where operation becomes invalid. Please see below the modified schematic and the waveform.
If you replace the transformer with a resistive network, you no longer see such a problem.
If you would like, you could also evaluate the device using an evaluation module (link below).

If you still like to simulate, then I can try tweaking the transformer further and see if I can get it to work and avoid convergence point. Let me know, thanks.
