Using CD4000.lib with LTSpice

[Ted Jackson]

Hi,

'Problem getting LTSpice to simulate with CD4000.lib' posted by Doktor Jones:

I'm trying to include CD4000.lib and use its JK Flip-Flop model (CD4027) in LtSpice. However, LTSpice throws up the following warning:

WARNING: Can't resolve .param vdd1=vdd

which points to the first .SUBCKT line of the model:

.SUBCKT CD4027B S J C K R Q QN VDD VGND vdd1={vdd} speed1={speed} tripdt1={tripdt}

Are those braced expressions valid in the .SUBCKT line? I downloaded CD4000.lib from this LT Wiki page titled:

LTspiceIV-library Library Listing Expanded

but it doesn't appear to be quite compatible with LTSpice. Can anyone offer a solution? Thanks.

Welcome to ETO!
You need to have a circuit node labelled 'Vdd' in the schematic if using CD4000_v.lib, or else have a .param directive .

Try adding a power source for the CMOS circuits and add a "Vdd" label to the positive node as below:

Sound like the symbol is missing parameters needed with the CD4000.lib library file.

Open the symbol and:

1. Add this to the "Spiceline" field:
VDD=5 SPEED=1.0 TRIPDT=5e-9

VDD sets the supply voltage. Change 5 to whatever voltage your circuit uses.

2. Add this to the "Spicemodel" field:
VDD 0

This is for internal use by the library.

You don't need to use a voltage supply node with the CD4000.lib library components.

Hi

The power source is only needed for the CD4000_v.lib Library.
The TS is using the CD4000.lib library. The supply voltage is statically set by the VDD param in each logic symbol.
