Adding Third Party Mosfet in LTSpice
(1/2) > >>

Hi everyone,

I am really new to LTspice and I am trying to insert this Mosfet

https://www.onsemi.com/products/discretes-drivers/mosfets/ntb110n65s3hf

The supplier provides ltspice model.

https://www.onsemi.com/support/design-resources/models?rpn=NTB110N65S3HF

I downloaded and after extracting the file I found a bunch of .asy files. I copied paste the targeted file into the C:\Users\user\Documents\LTspiceXVII\lib\sym path.

After that, I was able to insert the component into the drawing and when I tried to simulate the circuit the following was pop up.


I cannot figure out what I am missing... Searching around the web I found that some users include .txt file, other include a .lib file.. I am really confused.

I opened the .asy file with a text editor and I couldn't find any parameter of the Mosfet..

Any help?

If you're new to LTspice, then you should take a look here:  ;)

MagicSmoker:
The easiest, most reliable, and most portable way of doing this is to include the model in the schematic itself with an inline .model statement. See the example circuit attached for how to do this. The trick is extracting the relevant bits from manufacturers' model files to put into the inline .model statement if they don't provide models specifically for LTSpice (but a lot do these days). Simon Bramble's website referenced above explains this well.

Basically though, you right click while holding the Ctrl key down to bring up the component editor window where you can change the part number to something else, then make sure the .model statement references the same part number and LTSpice will use the inline model rather than look in its library files. You don't want to insert the model into the library itself because LTSpice overwrites those files every time it is updated. It also makes your simulation break if you send it to someone else because they won't have the correct model(s) anymore.

mikerj:
Since the LTSpice model is both huge and encrypted in this case, it's better to simply include the model file with the .inc directive.

I'm not sure what you are hoping this circuit will do however!

Thank you for your answers!!

Mikerj, with this circuit, I want to turn ON the LED for a certain time as soon as the power is on (something like an indicator, maybe to replace the LED with a buzzer). I want to simulate the circuit in order to calculate the appropriate values of RC in order to turn the LED ON for 3-5s

Is there any better solution?
