PSPICE Model for TL494

ipoloton
ipoloton over 16 years ago

Hi,

I am designing a circuit with TL494. When I run my model in ORCAD it gives me many of this annoying error: Less than 2 connections at node. The nodes are all connected tothis TL494.

I've been told that this model is just for schematic purposes and I cannot use it for simulation. So, does anyone have any idea what I can do?

 I hope I get some answers on this question since there is not similar answered question on the web as so far I've search.

 Thanks

    The part might be just for schematic purposes and there would no model associated with it and therefore it would be ignored for the purposes of simulation - as in "no pspice template ignoring"

    A quick search did not show any simulation models for this device from te manufacturers. If you have a simulation model, you might find that adding some large value, like 1G, resistors to the pins to complete the circuit.

    I suspect however that this issue has nothing to do with pspice and everything to do with an incomplete circuit.
