TINA/Spice/LM317: LM317

Part Number: LM317
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TINA-TI, , TL081

Tool/software: TINA-TI or Spice Models

I am using LM317 spice model to simulate my design circuit but I found out that the current from the adjust is not 50 micro Ampere as the theoretical. With this reason I cannot get my aspected result .From the picture below the VF2 value should be 11.25V but it only give me 20.58mV. Thanks

  • Hi,

    Also could you please share the test setup file (.tsc file)?

    Thanks,

  • Hi,

    I had try different .tsm files

    Thanks,

  • Hi Tang,

    Can you provide the .TSC as Manoj requested? .TSC file is the schematic file (not the model netlist file nor .TSM file). This is the file when you click and open it will show the snapshot schematic picture that you post on your very first post (the one showing LM317 wired with TL081 together with through R3 etc)

  • Hi Herman 

    Sorry for the late reply ,attached with my .TSC file.

    Thank

  • Hi Tang,

    I have made changes in attached TINA schematic as per released TINA-TI reference design and ran transient simulation till 240m. It was 1u in your test bench which seems very small in order to reach proper steady state.

    PFA TINA schematic working as expected.

    Thanks & Regards,
