Race, Your best bet is to get the model from the manufacturer. However, if the manufacturer's datasheet contains a plot of Z vs. frequency, then you have enough information to develop your own model. Ferrite beads generally follow the impedance of a parallel LRC circuit. If a single-stage parallel LRC gets you reasonably close to the published Z vs. f curve, then you're done. If not, try adding additional parallel LRC stages in series with the original, adjusting the impedance of each to give the desired result. Admittedly, this is a somewhat heuristic approach, but I have used it before with success. Regarding the switching frequency, you will want to make sure that your model accurately represents the impedance of the bead from the fundamental of the switching frequency to the highest harmonic of interest, which will depend upon your application. When you say that the simulation failed, was it that SPICE failed to execute, or was it that the simulation failed to deliver the results you had expected? -Bill /************************************ / billw@xxxxxxxxxxx / / / / Advanced Electronic Concepts, LLC / / www.aec-lab.com / ************************************ ============================== race wrote: >>hello to all, >> >>GOod afternoon! >> >>I am an SI trainee.
