Hey guys, I’m new to KiCad, and I can’t understand the problem
Note: No compatibility mode selected!
Circuit: KiCad schematic
Error on line:
i.xu1.i2 xu1.n005 0 1m load
unknown parameter (load)
Error: circuit not parsed.
.
I suspect the question has to do with simulation, is that right?
Yes that is the problem and I can’t find the reason.
Hello @JGB
Before you attempt simulation you need to fix some problems with the schematic.
eg. What are Q1 & Q2 doing?
According to data sheet:
Pin 11 of U1 is an open collector output.
Absolute min.voltage for Vcc is 10.
I don’t see pin1.
May well be more problems but the circuit posted is very hard to read.
jmk
thank you for your help.
I have export my circuit to clipboard, so it is more clear.
Q1 and Q2 is a noise generator
P11 of U1 has a 1u capacitor
pin 1 of U1 is grounded
The error message gives some hint:
i.xu1.i2 xu1.n005 0 1m load
is a current source (first character: i). The definition of a current source in a spice netlist is:
iname node+ node- value.
You have an additional token ‘load’. ngspice does not know what you (your circuit, the model, the netlist) intend to do with it, so it bails out.
Where is the current source put into the netlist? Its name is i.xu1.i2, so it is a source i2 in the device xu1, derived from u1. So it must be there in your model of u1, the xr2206. Is there a bug in the model? Is there a ‘feature’ not supported by ngspice? I cannot check this unless you post your project, including the external models.
A good engineering practice is to separate the problem, if you have no clue in the beginning. You have a circuit with 3 building blocks. Try to simulate them separately (triangle, noise, amplifier).
Thanks for the help again, but the problem is still here.
I post the subcircuit of xr2206 if it can help
there is a load in it but I cant understand what is wrong.

Hello again
I just made comment the word load, and it is working…
Thank you anyone…
The ‘load’ token seems to be a LTSPICE-specific option. See Setting current source as active load in LTSpice - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange. It is not (yet) supported by ngspice.
I was using LTSpice and the subcircuit was taken ready.
Do you know how can I split my circuits in two or three schematic pages
