I'm trying to design a PWM LED driver in LTSpice, but the 555 timer I'm using as the PWM doesn't seem to behaving as it should.
As far as I know, when the threshold pin reaches 2/3 of the supply voltage, the output should go low. However, that's not happening in my circuit. In the attached picture, node 8 is the voltage on the threshold pin, and node 10 is the output voltage before the resistor. As you can see, the threshold voltage gets to about 9.5 volts, but the output voltage remains high until the trigger voltage goes high.
The control pin is at 1.6 volts, and the trigger pin is at 0V.
Could anyone tell me if there's something else in the circuit that's keeping the output high? Or if the problem could be the spice model supplied by LT?
