AD8330 LTspice simulation error

HI PARTH0076 ,

The AD8330 model has had some problems. Did your fix fix the simulation?

Hi MStokowski ,

No it did not fix the problem. I still have the simulation error.

Hello PARTH0076,

I agree with MStokowski, the spice model of AD8330 has a problem and I already submitted an internal request in the past for it to be fixed. Currently, it is still on queue for a fix.

For the meantime, can you try connecting the OFST pin to GND and observe if you will get some results even when there is an error? In the past, I was able to get some results even when there is an error when I tried connecting the OFST pin to GND:


But when I make the OFST pin floating or connected a capacitor to it, I wasn't able to get any results aside from the error.

Regards,
Paul

Hi PaulCA,

Thank you for the response. I did find the other thread with your reply, I implemented the circuit according to your suggestion and I was able to get the output on AD8330.

Best,
