Hello, @Bordodynov . I tried using yuour MCP6001 LTSpice model on the latest version of LTSpice, and I got the aforementioned error message. Any thoughts on how I can fix that? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

 

I think the latest TLSpice is more picky about syntax. I have fixed such issues, including with MCP6001_AB, by correcting the brackets: (()).
I can't remember exactly but I think it was this one:
/home/hrs/.wine/drive_c/users/hrs/AppData/Local/LTspice/lib/MCP6001.lib
that I changed. Look for an opamp that works and make the MCP brackets match that example.

 

Thanks, I edited the file, and eventually had LTSpice accept the model. But the sim doesn't work at all if I simply exchange the MAX4239 for the MCP6001

 

LT SPICE is owned and maintained by Analog Devices. KiCad has some corporate sponsorship but is mainly written and maintained by volunteers. Why does KiCad work so much better than LTSpice? Kicad symbols and footprints are easy to add, most of them are correct, and I've never had one make it crash, so why can't it be that easy to add new models to LTSPICE and give them a symbol that matches the pins? Why does it have to be arcane and problematic?

I have Kicad, and know how to use it, but so far my interactions with it have only been for drawing diagrams, and then translating them into PCB's. I knew about KiCad's sim capabilities but I have never bothered to use it. I was under the impression that LTSpice is a better software. But now you've changed my perspective.

Per your suggestion, I'm going to take a dive into KiCad's sim powers today, see what I can accomplish. Wish me luck

I haven't tried KiCad to replace SPICE. I was only comparing its abilities as pcb software with SPICE's ability at simulation.
