Hello, i need formula for if IF transformer 42IF123-RC to design in ltspice

Hello

can somebody help me
for IF transformer

42IF123-RC i need to resonate at 10.7Mhz, i want to design in Ltspice

i read one Post here, but i dont understand
i dont know the formula, for inductor in ltspice

here my circuit in ltspice ​

​

The capacitor is 4.7pF + 5pF = 5.2pF
From 1-3 is 4.5uH (3.2 to 5.7uH)
There is no 4k resistor inside.
1-2 = 5 turns
2-3 = 9 turns
1-3 = 14 turns 4.5uH
4=6 = 2 turns
The formula for inductance and turns ratio is turns^2 (turns squared)
We know that 14 turns = 4.5uH.
You need to work out the inductance for 1-2, 2-3, and 4-6. Then plug them into spice.
You have the phasing of 1-2 & 2-3 so the inductance will add not substract so that is good.

I hope this helps. RonS.

Hello Rons
thanks for help
i realy dont understand

PLEASE can you show me one example?
i dont want to bother nobody here

so 1-3 is 4.5uH, come 14 turns = 4.5uH
i get 4.5uH ^ 2 we get 2025uh

I rely dont know, how come 14 TURNS = 4.5uH


oh man can you show me example please...……..

thanks

There are 14 turns between pins 1 and 3. Per the datasheet there is 4.5uH between pins 1 and 3.
There are 5 turns between pins 1 and 2, so the inductance between those pins will be 4.5uH x (5/14)^2 = 4.5uH x 0.128 = 0.57uH.

ooh thanks Alec_t
perfect MAN, i understand now

and wat about 4-6(2 turns) how i have to calculate this one ? please if you know let me know and i go to build...……..


is like this correct 4.5u / (14/2)^2 = 0.9uH

 

[ronsimpson]

is like this correct 4.5u / (14/2)^2 = 0.9uH

Yes
I think you got it. In SPICE you do not have 14T = 4.5uH BUT you have three different values.

This is the first time I have ever seen somebody try to simulate an FM radio. Why????

Because turning the "on" knob is hard. lol

I have often SPICE-ed the IF filters to get the bandwidth right. Probably I have done every block of a FM radio many times but never the entire thing.
One thing, I do not have enough computer to do the entire radio. I started with SPICE on a 8088 PC and "if my computer was a little faster". Now with 1000x faster it is too slow.

The crystal filter defines the bandwidth. The simulation program does not know about crystal filters.

thanks ronsimpson…..

thank to everyvone

What crystal filter?
I think we have exceeded the scope of the question. We just needed to go from data sheet to spice model.
