BS170 is a well-known N channel MOSFET manufactured in TO-92 package. It can be used for both switching and amplification purposes. When used as switch it can drive load of 500mA. It is able to perform fast switching and capable to switch load in around 7 nanoseconds due to which it can be used in high speed circuits. Aug 06, 2016 MOSFET Drivers.

A note on portability of these 'permanent' LTspice Components:

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.

In this way, you can have the best of both worlds: You can build up a permanent library of useful parts, immediately accessible when you create a circuit AND you have portability!

A good study of the CFL, and excellent use of good layout technique and use of LTspice. Thanks a.s.
Some explanation:Before the arc strikes the series resonant circuit is nearly unloaded and, if the arc did not start, would gradually climb in voltage to whatever the open circuit Q of the resonant tank is times the input voltage. This could take quite a few cycles at the resonant frequency. Q will be limited by the loss in the end electrode heater windings and the resonant inductor. This sort of start does not immediately jump to a high voltage.

The conductivity of the CFL depends on the level of ionization of the gas in the tube, which in turn depends on the power per unit length of arc. As the current increases, heating and ionization builds, leading to a thicker, lower resistance arc. This is why the arc exhibits a negative incremental resistance -- increased current leads to a larger diameter arc.

However, at some point, the narrow cross section of the CFL tube limits further conductivity modulation, leading to saturation and to the arc voltage increasing rather than decreasing with increasing current (positive resistance). I would guess that this effect occurs only at damaging levels of current, but that is only a guess.

End effects, cathode fall (larger) and anode fall (smaller) tend to be quasi-fixed voltages that don't depend too much on current in the normal operating range.

Arc conductivity depends on ionization, which depends on average power input. The simplest model for this is to low pass a behavioral source set up with its output proportional to arc power. Note that this thermal averaging effect is what is responsible the arc appearing as a positive resistance at high frequency (the ions stay hot and conductive for a while even if the current goes to zero).

Compilation

NEW UPDATED VERSIONLtSpiceIV_Plus_12_2009.exe
LTspicePlus_10_08.exe
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.

The rest includes more than 90 files in the format *. sub, to denote that they contain subcircuits of devices or *. lib, for the files that contain families of components. This information is added to the folder /sub and it doesn't overwrite any original data. To the folder /sym is added several subfolders with files corresponding to more than 400 symbols.

In the folder examplesLtSpicePlus, there are more of 600 clever examples to be run, these are mainly in format *. asc, although there are also some few ones in format *. cir; plus in this collection there are also near 100 symbols in format *. asy.

The install is in Spanish! The product result is in English. If you come across some 'Replace' options, etc, be prepared to Google some Spanish words to make sure you know what you are selecting. It's a 3.5MEG download.

If you don't speak Spanish, try those instructions:

• say 'Aceptar' (Accept).
• Point the 'Carpeta de Destino' (Destiny Folder) parameter at your LTSpice install-folder, normally it is C:Program FilesLTCLTSpice IV, but it will vary (e.g. in a Portuguese version of Windows it will be 'C:Arquivos de Programas'...).
• If it complains about 'Los siguinentes ficheros ya existen' (The following files already exist), choose what you consider to be most adequate: Sí/No (Yes/No), 'Sí a todo/No a todo' (Yes to replace all/Replace nothing at all) or 'Renombrar' (Rename). It's your choice, I'd say 'yes' after checking if filesizes are similar (i.e. a library you already have).
• The extraction will run, it takes a while (lots of files). If finishes correctly and doesn't give any error, probably all went well, try some examples just to be sure.

Roberto has Spanish documentation and tutorials using LTspice at Precisión, guía para desarrollos con Ltspice.

The 2N7000 and BS170 are two different N-channel, enhancement-modeMOSFETs used for low-power switching applications, with different lead arrangements and current ratings. They are sometimes listed together on the same datasheet with other variants 2N7002, VQ1000J, and VQ1000P.^[1]

The 2N7000 is a widely available and popular part, often recommended as useful and common components to have around for hobbyist use.^[2]The BS250P is 'a good p-channel analog of the 2N7000.'^[3]

Packaged in a TO-92 enclosure, both the 2N7000 and BS170 are 60 V devices. The 2N7000 can switch 200 mA. The BS170 can switch 500 mA, with a maximum on-resistance of 5 Ω at 10 V Vgs.

Mosfet Bs170 Equivalent

The 2N7002 is another different part with different resistance, current rating and package. The 2N7002 is in a TO-236 package, also known as 'small outline transistor' SOT-23 surface-mount, which is the most commonly used three-lead surface-mount package.^[4]

Applications[edit]

The 2N7000 has been referred to as a 'FETlington' and as an 'absolutely ideal hacker part.'^[5] The word 'FETlington' is a reference to the Darlington-transistor-like saturation characteristic.

A typical use of these transistors is as a switch for moderate voltages and currents, including as drivers for small lamps, motors, and relays.^[1] In switching circuits, these FETs can be used much like bipolar junction transistors, but have some advantages:

Bs170 Mosfet Substitute

• high input impedance of the insulated gate means almost no gate current is required
• consequently no current-limiting resistor is required in the gate input
• MOSFETs, unlike PN junction devices (such as LEDs) can be paralleled because resistance increases with temperature, although the quality of this load balance is largely dependent on the internal chemistry of each individual MOSFET in the circuit

The main disadvantages of these FETs over bipolar transistors in switching are the following:

Bs170 Datasheet Pdf

• susceptibility to cumulative damage from static discharge prior to installation
• circuits with external gate exposure require a protection gate resistor or other static discharge protection
• Non-zero ohmic response when driven to saturation, as compared to a constant junction voltage drop in a bipolar junction transistor
