ADG408/409 LTSpice Transient Analysis

Thread Summary

The user encountered issues with the ADG408 multiplexer in LTSpice, including output voltage spikes and incorrect current draw. The problem was resolved by updating the pin netlist order in the symbol file to match the correct numbering convention. The corrected symbols for the ADG408/409 were tested and provided.

I've been trying to perform a basic transient analysis within LTSpice using the ADG408 multiplexer, and have been getting very strange results:

  • The output voltage spikes when the address is changed, but the corresponding switch input is not transferred.
  • A substantial amount of current is sometimes drawn at the switch inputs.
  • Changing the enable input seems to have no effect.

I've tried a variety of configurations, and have been unable to get the model to work as expected. Is this a limitation of the model or LTSpice, or am I doing something incorrectly?

I've attached the LTSpice schematic and symbol I created, along with a screenshot showing the unexpected behavior. The A2:A0 pins are driven with 3.3V pulse sources configured to produce a 3-bit binary count pattern.

The ADG409 Spice model produces similar results.
