I don't believe the bipolar 555 model included with LTSpice is
modeling the supply spikes accurately.

Here's the circuit I'm using to test Linear's NE555 model:

I've just posted a query to:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LTspice/

for clarification re. the accuracy of the model, and I'll post what
comes back as soon as I get it.

Maybe Helmut will post here first.


The NE555 model in LTspice is virtually all behavioral modeling. Just
a quick observation of the switches (6 Ohms) suggest a whopping spike
;-)
