Easier Way to Build Spice Models from Old Data Sheets

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for an efficient method to create SPICE models from old data sheets. Chris Maness seeks software that can trace curves from images, set key points, and either generate data tables or fit power series to these curves. The recommended tool for this purpose is DataThief, which allows users to extract data from graphs effectively. This solution streamlines the process of converting graphical data into usable formats for SPICE modeling.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of SPICE modeling techniques
  • Familiarity with curve fitting methods
  • Basic knowledge of data extraction tools
  • Experience with image processing software
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to use DataThief for extracting data from graphs
  • Learn about curve fitting techniques in MATLAB or Python
  • Explore SPICE model creation using extracted data
  • Investigate other data extraction tools like WebPlotDigitizer
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, circuit designers, and researchers involved in electronic modeling who need to convert graphical data into SPICE-compatible formats.

I would like to find an easier way to build spice models from old data sheets. Normally one would have to tediously build spread sheet tables from curve traces of these old tubes. However, I was wondering if there is some sort of program that allows one to trace lines over the images, set extremis, and have a program either generate a data table from this line, or directly generate a power series that fits this curve. Is there any lab tools/software that can do something like this?

Thanks,
Chris Maness
