Hello,

I am after a spice model for a voltage to frequency converter.

Does anyone have one handy ?

I have checked some of the manufacturer pages, but none seem to exist !
For example :

thanks

In PSpice, other simulators may require editing notation style...

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Hello Jim,

Wasn't there a law that, at least for the state of Indiana:
.PARAM PI = 4?

I think it was indeed Indiana, but it was pi = 3, and only applied to
small circles ;-)

Snopes says the modern hoax is about Alabama but does mention (at the
bottom) the bit about Indiana. They said it was passed in the Indiana House
but died in the Senate.
