TINA/Spice/LM4040-N: All unencrypted SPICE-model only work with anode at GND

Part Number: LM4040-N
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TINA-TI

Tool/software: TINA-TI or Spice Models

Hello,

I tried to use the LM4041 in a third party SPICE simulator. Therefore I have used the unencrypted models from this web page below.

www.ti.com/.../toolssoftware

Unfortunately all the unencrypted models let fail the simulation in every SPICE-simulator, if the Anode of the LM4041 is not connected to GND.
The reason is that there is a mistake in the model file (.lib) at one referenced voltage in the line below.

E_Estart ..... V(Q20B)...

This mistake will automatically reference this V(Q20B) to GND (net 0) instead of "V-". If the anode of the LM4041 isn't connectd to GND, the simulation will fail.

This line should be corrected to

E_Estart ..... V(Q20B,V-)...

Could you pleaes correct this mistake in all the unencrypted model files (.lib) from this web page.
