Title: How to find the .lib file for PSPISE?
Post by: wenyi on October 24, 2023, 08:35:55 pm

What should I do when I can't find a .lib file for simulating a circuit on the official website (e.g. Texas Instruments)?
I use PSPISE for simulation. .lib file used to simulate. but I cannot find them in the official website.
Like CD74HCT193E CTR, I cannot find the .lib file.

I am new for circuit design. Thank you for help me.

AFAIK if TI doesn't show a model download link on some product's page (http://ti.com/product/XY1234 (http://ti.com/product/XY1234)) then they don't have a model for it. It happens.

Then you could look for models of same part number from other manufacturers, or just search the Internet. If nothing exists than you're SOL.

If you can't find a .lib file for a component like the CD74HCT193E on Texas Instruments' website for your PSpice simulations, try looking at other electronics databases or forums where people share such files. You could also explore using generic libraries in PSpice that might have a similar component. And don't hesitate to ask around in electronics communities or reach out to Texas Instruments' support for help. As you're new to circuit design, tackling this issue can be a great learning experience.
