SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the search for a model of dual supply SPDT analog switches compatible with Orcard 16.2. Users report that Maxim and Intersil do not provide available models, and the existing options in Orcard 16.2 are limited to user-controlled SPST or SPDT switches. For dynamic input switching at 10kHz, participants suggest using simplified schematics from datasheets and adding components to model capacitances. The book "Semiconductor Device Modeling with SPICE," edited by Antognetti and Massobrio, is recommended for further learning.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of SPDT and SPST switch configurations
  • Familiarity with LTSpice simulation software
  • Knowledge of Orcard 16.2 functionalities
  • Basic principles of semiconductor device modeling
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to create custom models in LTSpice for analog switches
  • Explore the use of simplified schematics from component datasheets
  • Study the book "Semiconductor Device Modeling with SPICE" for advanced modeling techniques
  • Investigate alternative manufacturers for dual supply SPDT switch models
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, circuit designers, and students working with analog switches and simulation software, particularly those using Orcard 16.2 and LTSpice.

Does anyone have, or know where to find, a model for one of these dual supply, SPDT analog switches?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
My LTSpice has a voltage controlled SPST switch. Two of these could easily make a SPDT switch.

Hmm. I don't see one in the Maxim info page (the "Models" option is greyed out):

http://www.maxim-ic.com/quick_view2.cfm/qv_pk/1504

Is Maxim the only manufacturer?
 
Tried Maxim and Intersil, neither has a model available. I am using Orcard 16.2, and it only has user controlled SPST or SPDT switches. I need to be able to switch inputs dynamically at 10kHz.

I would use the simplified schematic from the part datasheets, and add components to model the capacitances and other values in the datasheets. That will give you a reasonable starting point, especially for 10kHz.

A good book for tuning up models is "Semiconductor Device Modeling with SPICE", edited by Antognetti and Massobrio. Your school library may have a copy.
