LTspice switch not working

Status
Not open for further replies.
Hi

I am using an spst switch from yahoo group in my adc file and the switch is not working properly. I have set the switch to 0 witch means of, but voltage is still going through. I have tested the switch in the simple_switch file and 0 gives you 0 volts. Not sure what I am doing wrong in adc file. The picture bellow will provide more information. The highlighted parts are where I probed the circuit. I would appreciate any help.

Thanks
 
You schematic for the adc simulation is too small to see the details.

If you want the voltage to go to zero, you need to add a resistor (say 10kΩ) going to ground.
An open circuit from the relay output is an undefined state.

Attach your raw files .asc so members can help.
 
Hi

I have attached my .asc file. I appreciate all the help.

Thanks

Wrong .asc file?
 
Hi

Nope this is the correct .asc file. I changed the file in the picture to test some stuff out. I thought I could solve the problem. But I am still getting the same results in the file I posted. In the new file I probed the output of the wire with the resistor to get voltage.

Thanks

Connect a 10k (not critical) resistor between the CLR inputs and ground, as Crutschow suggested: otherwise leakage current through the switch keeps the CLR inputs high.
 
If you don't follow the suggestions we make, then it's difficult to solve your problem. :rolleyes:
