Encrypted!

To conceal my techniques. Did you read... 8 lines versus 34 ??

Not very general.

Parameterizable to any MOV... read!


Given how imprecise MOVs are, seems like a couple of zeners and
resistors, and maybe a capacitor, would be plenty good enough.


Good enough for you, perhaps :-}

Good enough for anybody. MOVs are not precise parts.



MOVs "wear out", too. Did you include that?

Typical Larkin sand-in-air... you can't help but be an asshole.

Did I hurt your feelings by not admiring your encrypted MOV model?

I really can't imagine why anyone needs to Spice a MOV. The things
that matter (power dissipation, joule capacity, wearout) aren't in the
model.
