Create Capacitor SPICE Model

Enter the parameters for your capacitor model and this page creates a SPICE model for you.

SPICE Circuit

Enter Parameters

C1 (F)		Capacitance
R1 (ohms)		Equivalent Series Resistance
fo (Hz)		Resonant Frequency
R2		Parrallel (Leakage) Resistance

Enter Model Parameters

Subckt Name		Name for SPICE subcircuit.
Precision (digits)		Precision for moldel values.

Calculations

L1 = 1/( (2*pi*fo)^2 * C1)

Series Inductance.

How do you get the SPICE subcircuit into the text box? Two steps make this possible. First, create the entire text by individually adding each line of the subcircuit to the variable "TextOut" using the "+=" operator. Second, when your text is complete, write TextOut into the text box named "myTextArea" as shown in the last line.

// write maco model to variable TextOut
TextOut += "****************************************" + "\n"
TextOut += "*  Capacitor SPICE Model\n"
TextOut += "*  Subckt Name: " + SubName + "\n"
TextOut += "****************************************" + "\n"
TextOut +=  "*" + "\n"

// Subckt name and nodes **************************
TextOut += ".SUBCKT " + SubName+ "     1   4" + "\n" 
	
// CAP MODEL***************************************
TextOut += "*   fo=" + fo + " Hz\n"
TextOut += "L1    1     2     " + L1 + "\n"
TextOut += "R1    2     3     " + R1 + "\n"
TextOut += "C1    3     4     " + C1 + "\n"
TextOut += "R2    3     4     " + R2 + "\n"
TextOut += ".ENDS\n"
			
// send to textArea
document.myForm.myTextArea.value = TextOut  

HTML

The text box was already used in a topic coverting the RC Filter Response vs.Time. Heres the "textarea".tag naming the area andf specifying the Rows and Cols.

<textarea name="myTextArea" rows="15" cols="50"></textarea>
