ROHM expands LTspice library with power devices

1 min read

ROHM has expanded its SPICE model lineup library for the LTspice circuit simulator.

LTspice is equipped with circuit diagram capture and waveform viewer functions that make it possible for designers to check and verify in advance whether the circuit operation has been achieved as designed.

Now, in addition to the existing lineup of bipolar transistors, diodes, and MOSFETs, ROHM has added SiC power devices and IGBTs increasing the number of LTspice models to more than 3,500 for discretes. This coverage of LTspice models on ROHM’s website now consists of over 80% of all products - providing greater convenience for designers when using circuit simulators that incorporate discrete products and now power devices.

“The expansion of this tool enhances ROHM’s customer support sustainably,” stated Aly Mashaly, Director Application and Technical Solution Center in Europe.

In recent years, the increasing use of circuit simulation has expanded the number of tools being utilised. Among these, LTspice has become an increasingly attractive option for a range of users, from students to experienced engineers.

ROHM has expanded its library of LTspice models and besides product pages, ROHM has added a Design Models page that allows simulation models to be downloaded directly. Documentation on how to add libraries and create symbols (schematic symbols) is also available to facilitate circuit design and simulation execution.

Going forward, ROHM said that it would continue to contribute to solving circuit design issues by expanding the number of models compatible with various simulators while providing web tools such as ROHM Solution Simulator to meet growing customer needs.
