...

1. this is required for every component on the pcb for this analyzer to work. if one does not work go the next option

   1. manufacturer – this is a good place to look since this is the website for the manufacturer that makes this device. typically, there will be a link to any available model from the page dealing with the specific device supplied in SPICE or PSpice format

   2. altium designer’s SPICE model wizard – use this to create and automatically link a SPICE3f5 device model to an existing or new library component. if linking to a new component, the component will be created automatically by the wizard. supported types are semiconductor capacitor, semiconductor resistor, current-controlled switch, voltage-controlled switch, JFET lossy transmission line, uniform distributed rc transmission line, diode, and BJT

   3. third-party modeling tools – various simulation software packages contain features for modeling a device

   4. dedicated modeling companies – you may be able to source the required model from a third-party company which creates simulation models based on a spec

   5. by hand – the model can be created by yourself and will require good knowledge of the language in which the model definition is being written.

2. compatible forms on altium
   for a simple model, needs to be saved with mdl extension (.mdl). for complex SPICE subcircuit, must be saved with ckt extension (.ckt)
