LM61460-Q1: LM61460AFS-Q1 PSpice model Steady state parameter definition

Part Number: LM61460-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM61460

Hello Sir/madam,

The PSpice for TI tools send back error: "Steady state parameter is undefined"

the error occurs during start simulation process.

--------------------------------------

"Reading and checking circuit
ERROR(ORPSIM-15167): Undefined parameter: steady_state.
Circuit has errors ... run aborted
See output file for details
INFO(ORPROBE-3188): Simulation aborted

Please advise whish parameters could by defined to successfully start simulation?

Thank you in advance.

Yuriy

  • Hi Yuriy,

    I've contacted the PSPICE support team and will get back to you once I have more feedback on this error message.

    Expect to hear back by tomorrow.

    Regards,

    Jimmy 

  • Hi Yuriy,

    You may please either update values of "Steady_State" parameter of Symbol to '0' or '1'(refer Fig .1) Or

    you may need to define 'PARAMTERS' with parameter name 'Steady_State'(Fig. 2). Please refer snapshots below.

    Please let us know if you have any questions.

  • Hi Imran,

    I haven't seen Fig.1 and Fig.2 you have provided.

    Nevertheless I have defined Steady state as either  "0" or "1" before I sent my request to E2E

    due I found the same recommendations in an other forums.

    But in both cases The simulation was aborted with the same error message:

    X_U2 0 N45567 N45450 N46087 N47156 0 0 N45433 N43822 N46326 N45216
    + N46634 N43582 N43582 LM61460AFS-Q1_TRANS PARAMS: STEADY_STATE=0

    Reading and checking circuit
    ERROR(ORPSIM-15167): Undefined parameter: steady_state.
    Circuit has errors ... run aborted
    See output file for details
    INFO(ORPROBE-3188): Simulation aborted

    Can you please send me figures you mentioned and or instruction, how do I need perform changing of model parameters?

    Thank you.
