Hi, I have a question.
Why this circuit do not work as expected?


As you can see I set-up 4013 as a non-inverting buffer with hysteresis.
But this circuit do not work in LTspice only circuit with the 4049 gates work. Do anyone knows why is that ?

 

.........As you can see I set-up 4013 as a non-inverting buffer with hysteresis........

But you haven't.
CLR is constantly high so the Q output is constantly low.

But, the real problem is, CD4013 can't be configured as a non-inverting buffer.
Why/how did you think it could be?

But in real life this circuit work as a non-inverting buffer with hysteresis .
Take a look at CD4013 data sheet

This might be the case in LTspice.

Have you looked at the spice model for the 4013? It may be more of a logical implementation as opposed to a transistor implementation

 

Yes, it would appear that the LTspice model doesn't properly simulate Q going high when both the PRE and CLR are high, which is not a typical operating configuration.

 

Hi

Back in 2013, an issue with the 4013 was identified that as since been corrected in the library file.
I think your using an old version of the CD4000.lib file.

The OPs asc file works on my system

 

I think your using an old version of the CD4000.lib file.

Can you upload your lib file?

 

Can you upload your lib file?

I'm not allowed to do that. But you can get it from the LTspice group at groups.yahoo.com

 

OK, I manage to download a new library file. And now everything work as it should

Voltage on PRE (S) input in LTspice


And the same voltage on pin S (PRE) measured in real circuit via Rigol.



Thanks to all for your help.

 

Hi all,
I tried to start this simulation too, but LT spice has problems to open the lib. Whats wrong with the lib? Or is there a special setting necessary?

 

@Jony130.
Using the file cd4000.lib only can get the Triangular wave and small amplitude, I attached another one CD4000_v.lib will be generate the square wave.

Download the file CD4000_v.lib that I attached in #11, and put into the directory as sym where you installed the LTspice software, and open the CD4013_onoff.asc, when the error occurring then go to modify ".include cd4000.lib" and using the browser to find the CD4000_v.lib where does it located as above described.

The CD4000_v.lib file should be located in the schematic folder or the program installation folder LTspiceIV\lib\sub".
Then place the following directive on the schematic: ".inc CD4000_v.lib" without the quotes.
You must place a voltage source with a VDD label on the schematic to provide the internal supply voltage to the component, or an error will occur.
