Where Can I Find a Model for Dual Supply SPDT Analog Switches for Orcard 16.2?

AI Thread Summary
Users are seeking a model for dual supply SPDT analog switches compatible with Orcard 16.2, noting that existing options in LTSpice are limited to voltage-controlled SPST switches. Attempts to find models from manufacturers like Maxim and Intersil have been unsuccessful. The need is to switch inputs dynamically at 10kHz, which current available models do not support. One suggestion is to create a model using simplified schematics from datasheets and add components to account for capacitances. A recommended resource for improving modeling skills is the book "Semiconductor Device Modeling with SPICE."

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.
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
