Hi All,

Does anyone know where I might be able to obtain this model.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Joe,

The important question is what behaviour should be modeled.

If you want make a simple digital inverter, then an A-device with Vhigh,
Vlow, Ref, Trise and Td will fit. This A-device will be simulated very fast.
Vhigh=5 Ref=2.5 Td=5 Trise=5
I recommend to add a 50 Ohm resistor in series to the output. Adding
the built-in input diodes may be also necessary if the input voltage exceeds
the rails.

I have written a small library based on the A-models. It's in the
LTspice Yahoo group. The devices fom this library will run slower
than pure A-devices.

NXP offers a real transistor level model. A simulation will run slower
than with a simple A-device of course too.

Hi Helmut,

Many thanks for your reply.

Application RF oscillator - so NXP spice models look more attactive.

I would like to integrate the spice net lists from the NXP 74HC models in
to LTSpice.

Do you have any guidance to do this?

Regards
Joseph

Hello Joseph,

LTspice is strictly standard SPICE on a netlist level.
This means you can directly run the examples(.cir) from the NXP-zip-file.

There is no SPICE standard for schematic entry. This means
symbols are different in every SPICE with schematic entry.
I think that you prefer a schematic instead of a pure netlist.
LTspice offers you different possibilities for symbols.
There are symbols you can edit on an instance level
and others you can't. Both types are useful the same in many cases.
It's a tradeoff regarding versatility and fool proof.
In some cases it's necessary to go with one of them.

It's Easter and so the Easter bunny will bring you a gift via email.
Let's hope your email address is valid. If not, send it to my address.
It's a schematic example of an LC-oscilator with the 74HC04U
/74HC04 using the NXP-MOSFET models..
Just replace the value 74HC04U with 74HC04 to switch to a 74HC04.
LC-oscillators should be made with the unbuffered 74HC04U!

Happy Easter!

Best regards,
Helmut

PS: I remember having read that Australians have banned the
rabbits/bunnies from school books. Is that true?
