A new PWM temperature control simulation in Qspice (from Qorvo) with NTC thermistor, Opto Triac and a ramp voltage modelled using the VERILOG modelling from the Qspicedemo
No need to present Qspice : it is done in an excellent way at the following address
Qorvo's QSPICE Is a Free Next-Generation Mixed-Mode SPICE Simulation Tool - Hackster.io
Willing to explore the possibilities to combine my analog simulations and the possibilities of introducing VERILOG models in it, I rebuilt one of my predeeding PWM simulations with the ramp voltage based onto the Counter (1-16) modelling presented by Mr Mike Engelhardt in the Qspice demo. Also the other new nice feature of being able to import images into the simulation has been explored.
Hereunder the new PWM simulation with a VISHAY NTCS0603E3103FLT thermistor, the Vishay VOT8125 opto triac and a TRIAC from LITTELFUSE.
Hereunder the waveforms of the temperature oven (simulated as worst case scenario with 2 extreme tolerances for R25 of the thermistor and B25/85)
A blow up of the temperatures at steady state hereunder:
Hereunder; captions of two different phases in the PWM (pulse width modulation) (note the non continuous ramp wave due to the counter)
The Qspice simulation works extremely fast seen the modulation frequency, and this software is for me obviously the fastest that I ever tried.
