For all of these components, place the subcircuit and the component in their respective folders, then restart LTspice. The component will then show up as a menu selection.
- If your library is included in this repository feel free to contact me at dnemec outlook. After opening the LTspice folder you will have to open 'lib' folder. This directory represents the library location composed of 'cmp', 'sub' and 'sym' folders. These are the folders in which you will have to transfer the library files you are interested in.
- Adding Series 4000 CMOS library to LTSPICE Published by Fudgy McFarlen on June 25, 2015 June 25, 2015. SPICE Research Links. Instructions how to use the library files.
To add an intrinsic component, a ‘.model’ file needs to be saved in the LTC LTspiceIV lib sub directory and for an extrinsic component, a ‘.subckt’ file needs to be added. Steps to include new device/ component models into an LT Spice schematic: METHOD 1: 1) Firstly, one needs to download the required device model having a.lib extension. In the Library editor select the Add Device button. In the Add Device dialog enter a new device name, then select OK. In the Warning dialog select Yes to confirm you want to create a new device. This will open a new Device editor, which is where we need to do several things including adding a symbol and mapping it to a spice model.

A note on portability of these 'permanent' LTspice Components:
Many comments are made about the lack of portability of creating these permanent parts in LTspice. The approach preferred by most is to include the symbols and SPICE models directly in the folder of the schematic you are testing. PLEASE NOTE that using this method to create permanent LTspice models does not prevent this portability! Create your permanent part, or add the parts from the list below. When you share this schematic with others, or use it on a computer that does not have this component, just copy the 'asy' file and its associated SPICE reference to the 'asc' file you are providing to the foreign computer.
In this way, you can have the best of both worlds: You can build up a permanent library of useful parts, immediately accessible when you create a circuit AND you have portability!

A good study of the CFL, and excellent use of good layout technique and use of LTspice. Thanks a.s.
Some explanation:Before the arc strikes the series resonant circuit is nearly unloaded and, if the arc did not start, would gradually climb in voltage to whatever the open circuit Q of the resonant tank is times the input voltage. This could take quite a few cycles at the resonant frequency. Q will be limited by the loss in the end electrode heater windings and the resonant inductor. This sort of start does not immediately jump to a high voltage.
The conductivity of the CFL depends on the level of ionization of the gas in the tube, which in turn depends on the power per unit length of arc. As the current increases, heating and ionization builds, leading to a thicker, lower resistance arc. This is why the arc exhibits a negative incremental resistance -- increased current leads to a larger diameter arc.
However, at some point, the narrow cross section of the CFL tube limits further conductivity modulation, leading to saturation and to the arc voltage increasing rather than decreasing with increasing current (positive resistance). I would guess that this effect occurs only at damaging levels of current, but that is only a guess.
End effects, cathode fall (larger) and anode fall (smaller) tend to be quasi-fixed voltages that don't depend too much on current in the normal operating range.
Arc conductivity depends on ionization, which depends on average power input. The simplest model for this is to low pass a behavioral source set up with its output proportional to arc power. Note that this thermal averaging effect is what is responsible the arc appearing as a positive resistance at high frequency (the ions stay hot and conductive for a while even if the current goes to zero).

Compilation
NEW UPDATED VERSIONLtSpiceIV_Plus_12_2009.exe
LTspicePlus_10_08.exe
Roberto Hugo Rodríguez Zubieta in 2005 created this executable, that provides a large number of extra components. First, backup your existing /lib/cmp directory at a minimum, and you may find it easy to just zip your entire /lib directory down. This executable will overwrite /Lib/Cmp with many more components that is based a dated version of the LTspice originals. The existing files are put into a folder /Lib/Cmp/Original. The dated version is not a problem. From LTspice, under 'Tools', selecting 'Sync Release' will restore all of the new models in the latest libs from LTspice. (At least every one I could see, using a Diff program.) Plus now you have many more.
The rest includes more than 90 files in the format *. sub, to denote that they contain subcircuits of devices or *. lib, for the files that contain families of components. This information is added to the folder /sub and it doesn't overwrite any original data. To the folder /sym is added several subfolders with files corresponding to more than 400 symbols.
In the folder examplesLtSpicePlus, there are more of 600 clever examples to be run, these are mainly in format *. asc, although there are also some few ones in format *. cir; plus in this collection there are also near 100 symbols in format *. asy.
The install is in Spanish! The product result is in English. If you come across some 'Replace' options, etc, be prepared to Google some Spanish words to make sure you know what you are selecting. It's a 3.5MEG download.
If you don't speak Spanish, try those instructions:
- say 'Aceptar' (Accept).
- Point the 'Carpeta de Destino' (Destiny Folder) parameter at your LTSpice install-folder, normally it is C:Program FilesLTCLTSpice IV, but it will vary (e.g. in a Portuguese version of Windows it will be 'C:Arquivos de Programas'...).
- If it complains about 'Los siguinentes ficheros ya existen' (The following files already exist), choose what you consider to be most adequate: Sí/No (Yes/No), 'Sí a todo/No a todo' (Yes to replace all/Replace nothing at all) or 'Renombrar' (Rename). It's your choice, I'd say 'yes' after checking if filesizes are similar (i.e. a library you already have).
- The extraction will run, it takes a while (lots of files). If finishes correctly and doesn't give any error, probably all went well, try some examples just to be sure.
Roberto has Spanish documentation and tutorials using LTspice at Precisión, guía para desarrollos con Ltspice.
