555 LT Spice issues (trying to produce ~7kHz ~sine wave)
jpyeron:
I was simulating a circuit (spice model: 7khz-carrier-wave.asc) and I was surprised that my calculated RC values were significantly off. I expected to use a R2 resistance of 10307 ohms, but had to use 9857.6 ohms.
After a bunch of googling I ran across alternate (1.38) [1] calculations for a 555 when calculating the period which is what LT spice seems to be using. The datasheet is using 1.44 [2].
I tried to edit the builtin model and got a restriction error - .
I tried to import a TI spice model [3] and got this error - .
Thoughts?

jpyeron:
The final circuit will be tuned at assembly. At the same time, still frustrated by my building blocks 5% out from the datasheet.
jpyeron:
How do I fix this in LT Spice?
iMo:
The DS is using 0.69 for a different circuit, imho.
jpyeron:
I ran the simulation with the DS circuit first. I had the same 1.44 vs 1.38 issue there. The LT Spice ideal 555 is using the 1.38 in its model - which is not adjustable.
I downloaded the TI spice model, but the param error is way out of my spice knowledge. I have not used spice sine the late 90s.
