I've tried to use the crystal symbol in my simulations with no luck. I can model a crystal with the standard Rm,Lm,Cm & Co 4 parameter circuit model and get things to behave properly, but not when I simply use the built in crystal icon. Any one else experienced issues with the built-in crystal model? |

I now understand the crystal icon is symbolic only, not modeled. I am now successfully modeling crystals with the 4-parameter model, so no need for a reply. |

Thank you, oftdiscreet, for your reply to my earlier query. I have finally been able to crawl up the learning curve enough to get the 4-element crystal model to do what I expect. I now realize the crystal symbol in the component sidebar is just a graphical placeholder with no intrinsic model attached. The Bode-plot-based frequency domain analyses agree nicely with what theory would predict when using the 4-element model, so I'm 'off to the races' as they say. Thanks, again, for your thoughtful response. I truly am enjoying 'polishing up' some of my long forgotten analog design skills using CIrcuitLab. |
