I'm trying to design an energy efficient current limiter that will safely charge a capacitor from a dc power source or battery. I'm trying to find a hot swap controller to use with a FET, but when I try to use the SPICE model provided by the manufacturer to model my circuit, I keep getting errors during the simulation: everything from syntax errors to:
I'm using KiCad 10 and I've looked into HSCs like TPS2490/TPS2491 and MIC2587R-1 but every time I go through the process of building the circuit around them, SPICE crashes on something. So clearly I'm going about this the wrong way and would appreciate some guidance going forward with my project. Oh yeah, and if someone could recommend an HSC that can be modeled in KiCad, that'd be great, too!
doAnalyses: TRAN: Timestep too small; time = 1e-16, timestep = 1.25e-17: trouble with dtvs_lmtr-instance d_in_lmtr1301
. This leads me to believe that these model files aren't designed for hobbyists who aren't prepared to spend 10k$ on software for fun.I'm using KiCad 10 and I've looked into HSCs like TPS2490/TPS2491 and MIC2587R-1 but every time I go through the process of building the circuit around them, SPICE crashes on something.
