SPICE-Library for LTspice (Linear Technologies)
for TDK Electronics AG : PCM.lib
Version 1.01
assembled on (Wed May 26 10:07:55 CEST 2021)
This SPICE library contains all models for
Power Cube Metal Inductors
Cube-shape package 15 x 14 mm (incl. terminals)
Current capability up to 80A
Soft saturation
Operating temperature -55 ... +165°C
These linear models are suited for DC, AC and Transient-
simulations. Accurate results can be expected below
the first resonant frequency. Using these models
outside its specification can lead to false results.
The models describe the behaviour of typical
elements. Please keep in mind, that real components
can vary in the range given in the datasheets.

Installation of PCM Model Library
===============================================================
The model library of PCM (Power Cube Metal Inductors) for the
circuit design program LTspice comprises the
following 2 files:
PCM.sub ASCII data file:
This file respresents the actual library and
contains the data required for simulation.
PCM.asy Symbol data file:
This file contains the graphics information
required by the graphic user interface
LTspice IV:
1) Change to the library containing folder of your LTspice
installation:
C:/Program Files/LTC/LTspiceIV/lib
or in your own documents directory:
<User>/Documents/LTspiceXVII/lib
2) Place the library file (PCM.sub) in the folder sub.
3) Place the symbol file (PCM.asy) in the folder sym/TDK.
(create if missing)
4) On the next start of LTspice you will find the elements
using:
Edit -> Component (F2) -> TDK -> PCM
5) To select one element out of this library make a right click
on the Symbol. Doubleclick on the "Value" field on the right
side of the "Spice Model" line to open the drop down menu.
Hint
To avoid simulation trouble the netlist includes the option
TOPOLOGYCHECK=0
