3N187, where to find this type of MOSFET in LTSpice
Click For Summary
Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around finding the 3N187 MOSFET model in LTSpice, with participants seeking guidance on locating this specific component and understanding how to implement it in simulations. The conversation includes inquiries about equivalent components, DIY alternatives, and modeling techniques for dual gate MOSFETs.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory
- Technical explanation
- Debate/contested
- Homework-related
Main Points Raised
- One participant asks where to find the 3N187 MOSFET in LTSpice, indicating they are referencing a book.
- Another participant provides links to a website and a PDF for equivalent components, suggesting a Google search for alternatives.
- A participant expresses uncertainty about the cost and feasibility of creating a similar component themselves.
- Some participants assert that transistor components must be purchased, as manufacturing them to specification is impractical for hobbyists.
- There is a discussion about modeling a dual gate MOSFET as two stacked single gate FETs, with specific instructions on setting threshold voltages.
- A participant mentions fixing an issue related to the dual gate model, but does not clarify the nature of the fix.
- Several participants express gratitude for the assistance and share additional resources, including a text library file for dual gate FET LTSpice models.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants generally agree that the 3N187 MOSFET is not readily available for DIY manufacturing and that purchasing components is necessary. However, there is no consensus on the best method to model the dual gate MOSFET in LTSpice, as different approaches are discussed without resolution.
Contextual Notes
Some participants reference external resources and communities, such as the LTSpice Yahoo group, for further assistance, indicating a reliance on collaborative knowledge sharing. There are also mentions of specific modeling techniques that may depend on individual understanding of LTSpice functionalities.
