To conceal my techniques. Did you read... 8 lines versus 34 ??
Parameterizable to any MOV... read!
Good enough for you, perhaps >:-}
Typical Larkin sand-in-air... you can't help but be an asshole. ...Jim Thompson

That's LTspice's encryption scheme that adds all those extra characters. ...Jim Thompson

Well either way, your claim is absurd, because the file size (not that 2k files are any concern these days) certainly isn't 8 lines, and without cracked encryption (anyone know if LTSpice / PSpice / HSpice encryption has been cracked? anyone working on it?), impossible to verify.
There's also the possibility that fewer lines contain more math, resulting in worse execution time or convergence anyway.
But really, I'm guessing it's your tanh fit stuff, which you've posted about publicly before. You also claim it's based on publically published curves. So hiding it is all the more absurd...
New technique. It definitely works. Try it or not, I don't care. It was originally posted to the LTspice List where the question was broached initially.
Those with interest in circuit work should subscribe to the LTspice List... you'll learn some new techniques... and not be annoyed by cockroach invasions into technical threads. ...Jim Thompson

Seems pretty pointless at your age, Jim. Are you ever going to pass on all those pearls of wisdom, or are you going to take them to the grave like King Tut?
Soon would be good, if you're ever going to.

The OP request on the LTspice List was for a model that worked. The OP was having convergence issues with the "official" Littelfuse model.
So I posted a working model to the List and posted it here thinking there might be an interest _in_the_model_.
It is not my duty to teach modeling... I am making models commercially right now and may possibly share my methods in the future... why should I give away all my art right now? ...Jim Thompson

Right now I'm making money at it. Why should I give away the store? Does Larkin post a _complete_ schematic of his instruments and manufacturing techniques here? ...Jim Thompson

Because you're in your mid 70s. I know your dad lived into his early
90s, and was pretty sharp till the end, but there's no guarantee that you'll do the same. What do you want your legacy to be? It's pretty late not to be thinking about that, especially given the amount of time and energy it will take to pass on the best of what you know in a form accessible to young people.
John L.'s company will probably be manufacturing stuff long after he's retired, and he isn't the sole designer, so that isn't the same case at all.
Also you vastly overestimate the opportunity cost of publishing stuff--it's usually a net win.
My book gives away the majority of what I know about what I do, and besides helping a lot of young folks (which was the point of the exercise), it has been the foundation of my consulting practice. The first edition was published when I was 40.

Sometimes I post actual product schematics, usually sheets relevant to the topic, and photos of real boxes and boards. Sometimes I post (non-encrypted!) Spice files. Sometimes I post ideas and scribbles that I just imagined.
I don't post manufacturing techniques, because my production people do that, and it's fairly standard stuff. I have posted a lot of breadboarding techniques, stuff that I do myself.
I don't post encrypted Spice circuits and then tell people that I'm smart, just because I say so.
I still don't know why your thing would be any better than a couple of zeners and resistors, and you won't say why.

(1) All derivatives must exist and be continuous (2) All functions must be BOUNDED smoothly, per (1) above.
That's all there is to it other than knowing circuit design at the device level which you can pick up easily with 50 or so years or experience >:-}
Seriously.
More seriously, leukemia testing begins tomorrow.
I'll consider your advice... maybe it is time to do a load dump. ...Jim Thompson
