Models given as .MODEL statements are for intrinsic SPICE devices like diodes and transistors, whereas models given by .SUBCKT statements define the component by a collection of circuitry of intrinsic SPICE devices.
Würth Elektronik offers an extensive selection of models and tools for use in LTspice. Models and libraries for our products can be found directly in LTspice, in the product pages of our website, or in the library downloads section on this page.
Important note: A new version of LTspice has been released in early 2023 which affects the installation location and updating of models. The instructions on this page pertain to LTspice versions 17.1 or later.
For simple component models, LTspice offers standard libraries for capacitors, inductors, ferrite beads, as well as resistors, diodes, mosfets, and BJTs. These models use the standard equivalent circuit for that component. These models guarantee the highest simulation speed.

Requesting clarifications so that I can get over this job of having to find very specific Spice Models. The web is replete with PSpice models but Spice Models need more effort to search and include in the schematics.
Spice simulation as an area seems too fragmented between several simulators each with its own limitations and several of them being limited to Windows unfortunately. Add to this, most vendors also seem good with creating PSpice models, rather than SPICE models creating even more confusion
The LTspice SMPS macromodels are implemented in a combination of new proprietary native LTspice devices and/or a proprietary hardware description language. While it is possible, in principle, to develop generic SPICE or PSpice macromodels, the resultant simulation speed would not be viable.
Many comments are made about the lack of portability of creating these permanent parts in LTspice. The approach preferred by most is to include the symbols and SPICE models directly in the folder of the schematic you are testing. PLEASE NOTE that using this method to create permanent LTspice models does not prevent this portability! Create your permanent part, or add the parts from the list below. When you share this schematic with others, or use it on a computer that does not have this component, just copy the 'asy' file and its associated SPICE reference to the 'asc' file you are providing to the foreign computer.

Roberto Hugo Rodríguez Zubieta in 2005 created this executable, that provides a large number of extra components. First, backup your existing /lib/cmp directory at a minimum, and you may find it easy to just zip your entire /lib directory down. This executable will overwrite /Lib/Cmp with many more components that is based a dated version of the LTspice originals. The existing files are put into a folder /Lib/Cmp/Original. The dated version is not a problem. From LTspice, under 'Tools', selecting 'Sync Release' will restore all of the new models in the latest libs from LTspice. (At least every one I could see, using a Diff program.) Plus now you have many more.
LTspice is a high performance SPICE simulator that simplifies the design of switching regulators. The software is provided free by Analog Devices. LTspice includes a library of basic models for a limited number of Coilcraft inductor models. These models are included in the standard inductor library and are updated periodically.
Depending on the inductor series, the advanced SPICE models may include a variable inductor element, variable series resistance (Rvar1) to model skin effect, a resistor element in series with the parallel capacitance (R1) to limit impedance at resonance, and a variable parallel resistance (Rvar2) to model frequency-dependent low power core losses.
Thanks for your advising!
I also found some BAV99 spice models only have two pins as normal diodes. Does it mean the "BAV99W spice model" (or other 2 pins BAV99 spice model) is actually one of the two diodes in the sot-23 package BAV99?
I thought there is a specific one for three pins sot-23 BAV99, so I was trying to create a new symbol for the TOSHIBA encrypted model that also shows three pins in pin Assign.
"pin Assign :1=Anode1 2=Cathode2 3=Cathodel1&Anode2"
But interestingly, the TOSHIBA BAV99 for Pspice has only two pins and it has confused me for a while...

The Infineon Power MOSFET models are tested, verified and provided in PSpice simulation code. All power device models are centralized in dedicated library files, according to their voltage class and product technology.
JFETs are unique devices in several areas, one of which is extremely low gate leakage. The SPICE2 Shichman Hodges model does not account for this and therefore does not accurately model gate leakage without the addition of the [katex]G_Min[/katex] parameter. The leakage conductance SPICE value [katex]G_Min[/katex] can be modified separately, but unfortunately that impacts all models that utilize [katex]G_Min[/katex] in that given simulation, including other JFETs and diodes. The default value of [katex]G_Min[/katex] in SPICE2 is [katex]10^-12[/katex] Siemens. Document CTC-023 lists the InterFET SPICE models with the [katex]G_Min[/katex] values at the top of each geometry section. If modeling is needed without [katex]G_Min[/katex], please note that the JFET leakage will not be accurate.
Provided are links to JFET LTspice modeling recommendations and present JFET models in LTspice. LTspice is freeware computer software implementing a SPICE electronic circuit simulator, produced by semiconductor manufacturer Linear Technology, now part of Analog Devices. It is used in-house at Linear Technology for IC design and is the most widely distributed and used SPICE program in the industry.
Q: Is it possible to use this tool if LTspice is not installed?
A: Yes, all that is necessary is for the LTspice libraries to be located in their intended directory. See slide 13 for more information. Note, this is only a requirement for opening schematics that use the LTspice library. Third-party models and symbols do not require the LTspice libraries.
Component symbol files referenced by the LTspice design file (*.asc) are automatically added as library files, and in turn, the simulation models referenced within the component library files are also added to the import.
The import process results in an Altium Designer PCB project that also includes a Schematic Library containing the design's components and a set of generated simulation models in the general *.mdl format. LTspice Voltage Sources are imported as an equivalent Altium Designer Simulation Stimulus type.
I understand the issue now. Basically, all Infineon MOSFET Simulation models are validated in SIMetrix. Most of the models work well with LTSpice as well, but few result in errors. The team is already working on these models to make it LTSpice compatible.
Kindly modify the simulation circuit accordingly and let us know if you still face any errors. The application note which provides a detailed explanation of Infineon simulation models is also provided below for your reference.
LTspice has a built-in library of vacuum tube models that can be accessed through the "component browser" or by clicking on the "View" menu and selecting "Library". Additionally, there are various online resources and forums where users share their custom vacuum tube models for LTspice.
hi, does anyone knows were can I find a spice model for max1771? _Projects/co3sat/downloads/Maxim%20MAX1771%20Boost%20Converter.pdf already looked up the maxim website and they dont have it, is it resonable to build that model on spice for an unexperience user? I'd love to hear any recommendations for similar operating products with available spice models. because I'm trying to figure out a problem in my circuit that uses a max1771
In addition, ROHM has added a Design Models page to their website that allows simulation models to be downloaded directly. Documentation on how to add libraries and create symbols (schematic symbols) is also available to facilitate circuit design and simulation execution.
Going forward, ROHM will continue to contribute to solving circuit design issues by expanding the number of models compatible with various simulators, while providing web tools such as ROHM Solution Simulator to meet growing customer needs.
This tutorial is going to cover adding custom Spice models into your LTspice simulations and library. While it is very easy once you know how to do it, there are a couple pitfalls that can cause serious headaches if you are unaware.
Once you have found the model you want to use, you need to make sure it is in the correct format with the correct extension. A Spice model file is nothing more than a text file with a different extension. In the case of LTspice, if the model file contains only a single model, it should be named with the .sub extension. If the file contains multiple models, then the file should be named with the .lib extension.
