PSpice for TI ERROR(ORPSIM-15461): Incorrect number of interface nodes with SN74LS365A

Dawid Hampel

Hello,

I encountered an error while using the SN74LS365 model in PSpice for TI. I am aware that it's due to a mismatch of wanted to provided inputs/nodes; however, as much as I try I can't seem to find a solution. I tried reconnecting my connections, differnt mixes of provided inputs, etc. As I'm very new to Spice simulations the solution might be very simple. I included an archived example project file using just that part and a couple of voltage sources. I'm running PSpice for TI version 17.4-2020-S006.

Thank you for all the help,

Dawid

Hi Dawid,

I don't believe it is your fault. I think there is something wrong with the SPICE model. Are you able to use another three-state buffer from the library to model this? They are only behavioral models and so will not accurately model the specifications anyways.

Karan

Hi Karan,

I've started looking through the library for three-state buffers and I found that all 74LS give the same error and the 74LS541 circuit is missing from the libary (ORPSIM-15108). So it must be a family wide problem. I was able to use the 74ALS family instead.

Thank you,

Dawid

Hi Dawid,

Thanks for pointing this out. I have added for our LS family models to be looked at updated.
Yes go ahead and use the ALS family of devices as the models will function very similarly.
