simple help with LTspice model
(1/1)
cncjerry:
If I wanted to lower the slew rate of a transistor, basically limit it frequency response, what parameter would I modify, assuming this is so simple?

I'm trying to figure out what is going on where my spice model doesn't match the live circuit.  Only thing I can figure is that the MC3346 NPN array is somehow not performing as expected.

Thanks

Jerry

CJE and CJC, but you are just poking around in the dark fiddling with these.  You should try to find the models for that device.
cncjerry:
Wimberleytech, thanks.  I have the model for the RCA part, CA3046 and as expected the bandwidth is much higher than the live circuit (I don't see the rise time increase through the amp).  I wanted to play with as you suggest CJE and CJC to see if by increasing them I can in effect better duplicate the live circuit.  Adding 50pf just about anywhere will cause the problem I am seeing in the actual circuit.

I find it hard to believe the NPN array failed as well as it having such a high junction capacitance from the start.  I mean it is always possible, as I've only ever seen these used in low frequency applications but then again, that would only be about 4 or 5 data points.

Thanks again,

Jerry

Yup, that seems a bit large.  What is the circuit you are building/simulating?

I suggest that you simulate a single transistor and test for ft and see if it matches with the datasheet.
