UC3825A: "TOO FEW NODES" ERROR IN LTSPICE

Part Number: UC3825A
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UC1825

Hi,

Firstly, I need to say that we already have bought UC3825A in physical. But when we try to simulate UC3825A in LTSPICE, we get error "Too few nodes ....", and I download spice model from TI own website.

My LTSPICE version is XVIIx64. When I search why that error arise from, I understand that Spıce Model which I download from your own website is encrypted. Could you provide us unencrypted model. We cannot start doing our prototype circuit without simulation has done.

We are looking forward your quick response.

Best regards,

    Hello Riza,

    There are 2 files in the UCx825.ZIP model.  I see the .TSM model, which looks encrypted.  However, I can open the .LIB file using Open File With > Notepad and see the entire model, unencrypted.  I have attached the .LIB file here.

    UC1825_TRANS.lib

    Here are the first 20-30 from this .LIB file:
