Stupid transients in SPICE

Alternate solver on?

Cheers

I'v seen plenty of 2kV+ spikes on noninductive circuits in spice, but I know more about food spices than spice the simulator.

ToySpice will fool you every time >:-} ...Jim Thompson

That's one of the few things I have learnt. But seriously, I ain't fooled that easily! 2kV on that 5v line with no coils? Er... no.

Yes I know the models use questionable time saving approaches. But it still saves a lot of time compared to the old way of making a proto & endless tweaking.

Then wondering why they sometimes blow up later when everything appears to be in spec, but that's another story. I was young.

Wot's that?

AFAICT the solver is stock XSPICE. Same result for TRAP or GEAR 2.

Ah, never mind. Usually when folks moan about stuff like this, it's LTspice they're on about.

Spice is like a sports car... Performance only as good as the person behind the wheel.

You killfile is broken, again.

I'd say buzz off, but I'm patient, you'll pass soon.

And rude, to boot.
