Spice Model Editor and Simulator can't handle underscore in spice parameter
Just playing around and yes the spice models aren't fully setup.
If vds_max=60
is set on Q1 using the spice model editor (under Limits of the VDMOS model), the simulator returns
Error on line 12 or its substitute:
q1 probe_int_net-_q1-d__q1_1 net-_q1-g_ 0 vto=1.6 kp=170m rd=0 rs=750m rg=3 mtriode=1.25 ksubthres=100m rb=140m is=40f cjo=50p vds_max=60 could not find a valid modelname
Also trying to re-open the model editor after setting that value results in
Removing vds_max=60 allows the simulator to simulate (although not correctly but that's because I haven't finish setting up the models :P)
