TPS543320: Problem with PSpice simulation

Part Number: TPS543320

Hi,

I am trying to simulate TPS543320 based power supply design but I am constantly getting the following error:

ERROR(ORPSIM-16550): Floating point computation failed during matrix solution. Possible solutions: 1)Ensure that all device parameters are in valid range. 2)Try using .options LIMIT

Below is my circuit:

V12 1 0 12.00
Ven 5 0 PWL (0us, 0) (20us, 5) (20ms, 5)

I can't see any obvious error so I would need some help on this. Also, which SW pin has to be connected to inductor - SW_0 or SW_1? When I started simulation for the first time I got message that .subckt name does not match .ends name. Problem was here:

.subckt D2A_CONVERTER_9Bout d0 d1 d2 d3 d4 d5 d6 d7 d8 ref PARAMS: THRESH=0.5
.ends D2A_CONVERTER_9B

I guessed that correct syntax would be:

.subckt D2A_CONVERTER_9B out d0 d1 d2 d3 d4 d5 d6 d7 d8 ref PARAMS: THRESH=0.5
.ends D2A_CONVERTER_9B

Is this right or wrong?

  • Hi Goran,

     For your model, I have below comments:

    1. Why do you use Ven 5? Is this 5V power supply for BP5? BP5 is internal 5V output and just need a 2.2uF bypass cap.

    2. Did you try to use TI PSpice mode to run your simulation? I think TI PSpice mode has a wrong connection on SW pin10 and pin13. SW pin10 should be connected to output inductor and SW pin13 should be connected to bootstrap cap. Please refer to datasheet for correct connection. I will report this connection issue to TI model team.

    Hope this helps to solve your problem.

    Thanks,

    Nancy
