Do I use Speed=1 for 5V operation? What do I use for Tripdt value? What does Tripdt=100p mean?
Here is the way these three parameters are most commonly used in these (and similar) models:
- Speed allows you to choose a relative speed variation. Speed=1 is for a nominal (typical) part. It is independent of VCC. You might try values such as Speed=0.7 or Speed=1.5, for slow or fast parts.
- VCC is the power supply voltage. With luck, the model already changes its speed depending on the value of VCC, independently of the Speed parameter.
- The Tripdt parameter is a helpful convergence aid for some of the internal devices inside the model. It suggests to LTspice that it should throttle the internal timestep to 100 ps or less when the signal is changing. This helps prevent LTspice from advancing right through a change of state (low to high or high to low). It's unlikely that you would need to change that parameter.
