Hello,
i've been trying to write a PSpice netlist for the schematic provided but have been unable so far to get it working.

Could anyone help me with the netlist ?

Thank you very much.

 

Given that this is not some homework assignment using Spice. Would it not be more easy to download the free version of LTspice http://www.linear.com/designtools/software/ Draw the schematic, and let the software do the rest

 

This is my netlist input (LM13600 and transistor models omitted)

And a scheme with node notation included.

 

Yeah i guess it would be easier but there's no LM13600 in LTspice :/

 

Hello,

Take a look here for a spice model of the LM13600/LM13700:
http://www.idea2ic.com/LM13600/SpiceSubcircuit/LM13700_SpiceModel.html

Bertus

 

You can add your own spice models in LT spice that is no problem at all. I am sure you can find some tutorial. Just use Google

 

Hello again,

i've been trying to get it working but so far no luck.Here's what i've come up with.
Complete PSpice .cir file with LM13600 model included and a schematic with node numbers.
But i still wasn't able to get the corresponding triangle/square outputs and i'm not sure why.
