Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OPA380

Hello everyone, 

I'am writing about simulation issue of OPA380 TI in Orcad Capture. 

I tried to do simulation with pspice but the error is the following (in bold at the end):

I used the library provided by TI at the following page : 

https://www.ti.com/product/OPA380

and clicked on :

OPA380 PSpice Model (Rev. B)

However when I start the simulation I get these two errors. 

Is someone could help me with this ? 

A big thanks you for your time, 

Have a nice day, 

Simon

    Hi Simon, 

    I went to the TI product web page and installed the Pspice model that you reference in your post. When I open that project and run the simulations, I am able to get results and do not see any errors.

    Are you running this file and seeing the errors when you run the simulation or do you see the errors when running a simulation you created? If this is the case, could you share your simulation.

    If you are running the simulation from the zip folder that you downloaded from the project page, could you open the pspice model by right clicking on the OPA380 and selecting "View Pspice Model". The model I am running, is last updated in June 2011, can you confirm that you are using this same model?

    Thanks,

    Nick

    Hello Nick,

    firstly thanks you for your reply. 

    I tried now with the provided test simulation but it is not working too with the same error. 

    I use the full version of Orcad Capture / Pspice while I see you are using Pspice for TI. However I think it should work on the two versions ? 

    thanks you for your help,

    Simon

    Hi Simon,

    You are correct, you should not be seeing any error whether you are using the full version of Pspice versus Pspice for TI. Can you provide the simulation file that you are trying to run so in order to confirm that you are running the latest model for the OPA380?

    Thanks,

    Nick

    Hello Nick, 

    thanks you for your reply. I actually have the same version as yours and I installed Pspice for TI and it work well. In full version, when  I use external library like the one for opa380, should I do so installation or some procedure to add it ? 

    thanks a lot for your help,

    Simon

    Hi Simon,

    Thank you for providing more details about how you are simulating. 

    Have you followed the steps in this FAQ (here) for adding TI models to the commercial version of Pspice? Please let me know if you have taken these steps or these steps do not resolve the issue.

    Thanks,

    Nick

    Hello Nick, 

    thanks you for your answer. Actually I looked the FAQ but I don't have the "Add models" windows. However I can add library in an other windows. I will try to contact Orcad for this issue. Thanks for your help, Have a nice day, Simon

    Hi Simon,

    The "Add models" window wasn't available even after you opened any design file? 

    Thanks,

    Hello Nick,

    Sorry for my late answer but I was abroad with limited access. 

    Not here but in another windows. 

    I tried to install other library from TI and it works. I ll try to uninstall the software and any link with OPA380 and try again. 

    Thanks you for your help, 

    Have a nice day, 

    Simon

    Hi Simon,

    Please let me know if the issue persists after trying this.

    Thanks,
