Working model of 74HC244 for LTSpice?

[SiliconWizard]

Does anyone have a working model of a 74HC244, reasonably accurate, for LTSpice?

I've found various Spice models for it that definitely don't work in LTSpice. I can't afford spending hours trying to figure this out at the moment. So has anyone done it yet?

[SiliconWizard]

Thanks. Yeah. I had found other similar libs, problem is they are not properly made to simulate the 74HC gates including power supplies. They are set up for fixed 5V Vcc.
What I'm interested in is simulating the "analog" behavior of those gates at various Vcc levels and most of all the transients when Vcc changes. Those cannot simulate that as far as I can see.

[tggzzz]

For such analogue behaviour, you might start with IBIS models.

You could presume the semiconductors were infinitely fast, and that ground bounce and similar was due to the LCR devices specified in The IBIS model.

IIRC MicroCap can digest IBIS models, but not LTSpice.

[SiliconWizard]

I'm less used to MicroCap than LTSpice, which is why I tend to default to the latter, but I did fire up MicroCap and spent a little time figuring this out and I could get what I want.

So, MicroCap it was. Great it has become free, but really a shame it's abandonware.

Agreed on all counts.

Glad it worked for you.

Is this a reasonably accurate model?

Is this a reasonably accurate model?

What does the model contain for the internal lead inductance?

Useful to switch all outputs simultaneously in the same direction when they are driving a representative load, and observe ground bounce.

[iMo]

First SW should define the "reasonably accurate model".
The simple logic one, with some prop delays, variable Vcc and some output load characteristics, or with added RLC parasitics, or with all cmos transistor models with their channel widths and lengths and material sheet resistances, or..?

For example (pspice models work in ltspice):

First SW should define the "reasonably accurate model".

Of course it should be software that models the hardware.

The simple logic one, with some prop delays, variable Vcc and some output load characteristics, or with added RLC parasitics, or with all cmos transistor models with their channel widths and lengths and material sheet resistances, or..?

Preferably the aspects that are likely to cause problems in the circuit. Ground bounce was a major issue with the DIP variants of digital ICs, causing subtle unrepeatable with PCBs at customer premises. Not good!

For example (pspice models work in ltspice):

That's the only inductor I can spot, and I guess it is the inductance in a (too?) short signal output lead.

I don't see any inductance for the ground/Vcc leads; I would expect to see around 0.8nH/mm.

[iMo]

See the above simulation with that TI model, you may see the L in action 
No problem to add any other L to any wire inside the model, imho..
Feel free to play with parasitics

The simulation (you added to your post with the mainly incomprehnsible code) is entertaining.

The problem isn't adding parasitic components, it is knowing which parasitics are important and their values. That's why the IBIS models were invented and are important.

I'll note that for a small old FPGA (Spartan 6), the spartan6.ibs file is 34MB of text.

Yep, simulation with ltspice should be fun 
The incomprehensible code there is the TI model file, for even more entertainment - below you may see the entire picture..

hello, i have a question about the parameters setting ,i am not really sure what the meaning about speed and  tripdt ,i think maybe it is related to rise/fall or delay, can anyone give me the suggestion ?

*the following picture is 74hc224's symbol which is download by this website

*the another picture is the datasheet spec about the ic

can anyone teach me how to use the datasheet's information to set the variation in 74hc224's parameters about speed and tripdt?
