WEBENCH® Tools/LM5118: Increase the simulation time - Load transient

Vigneshwaran Gurusamy

Part Number: LM5118
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TINA-TI

Tool/software: WEBENCH® Design Tools

Hi,

In LM5118 load transient, the transient could not be simulated due to limitation in simulation time. In the plot shown below, simulation ended before the step up (rise) of load current.

Initial delay time was given as 8ms since the output voltage takes more time to settle as seen in the response plot above.

Request your help to increase the simulation time.

The public shared file of the design is

Thanks and Regards

Vignesh,

We can not randomly increase the sim time for particular simulations as the simulations will timeout on the browser. If you need to customize the sim time beyond what WEBENCH can handle right now, it would be advisable to export this into TINA-TI using the Sim Export feature. This will export the Startup schematic, buy you can change the load appropriately to run the load transient simulation after startup is over.

Hello Nikhil,

Thanks for your suggestion.

But I want to simulate the design within webench as much as possible. So I tried editing the schematic which gives more freedom to modify simulation time.

The simulation failed due to error shown in the image below.

Though it shows startup, I modified the schematic for load transient.

Do you have any suggestion to overcome this?

Thanks and Regards

Hi Vignesh,

The Schematic Editor in WEBENCH is a Beta release and we are not making any more updates to it. It would be better to export the WEBENCH design into TINA-TI and simulate it there, or recreate the design using the TINA-TI TSC file on the web. This will offer you most simulation flexibility once you have used WEBENCH to create the design.

Hi Nikhil,
Thank you so much for your quick responses.
