PSPICE-FOR-TI: Coming from LTSpice, a few beginner questions

Part Number: PSPICE-FOR-TI
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM66100

Hi,

I downloaded TI Spice for doing some simulations for LM66100 (ideal diode). In the past I've used LTSpice for simulating small circuits, nothing complex. So, I've little to no real experience with (any) Spice in general. However, it seems that TI Spice behaves (totally) different than LTSpice. I hope someone can help me out. Here are a few questions:

  • Is there a cheat sheet or something similar for TI Spice? Like an overview of the built-in parameters, etc.
  • Is it possible to use formulas for device values? In LT Spice it was possible to make e.g. a value time dependent. For example, something like "R=11-100*time". Is something like that possible or do I have to use e.g. variable voltage sources and make the value dependent on that voltage? If so, how is it done?

I'm a bit lost where to find those informations. I assumed TI Spice is like LTSpice and uses just a different GUI, but it seems that TI Spice has a lot more features and is more complex. Any sources for TI Spice tutorials or literature like PDFs is also welcome.

Regards

    Hi Ralf,

    There're some training videos you can watch in the tool page. Scroll to the bottom of the page and you will see them.

    There isn't a cheat sheet. You can, however, read the help file. Click Help, then PSpice for TI Help.

    You can build this by using a controlled source and an integrator.

    Thanks,

    JC
