Hi,

I have a question about LTSpice, i'm still unfamiliar with what it can and cannot do.

Can LTSpice show errors for when something is exceeded? For example, a MOSFET drain to source voltage is being exceeded way too high? Or this must be known to the user beforehand?

thanks!
 

hi,
I have used LTS for a long time and its never raised an error message for the reasons you have stated.
Its upto you to read the datasheet for any device you are simulating and to be aware of its limitations.

Have you had any error messages you dont understand.?

Hey esp1,

No error messages, but you answered my question. Thanks a lot!
 

When doing circuit simulations using SPICE, the modelling will not simulate breakdown voltages in traditional MOSFETs or BJTs.
