moocow	Re: Time for another spaced query Don't believe everything Spice tells you. It's good for some things, but it will get confused by switching transients. Be careful of the switch settings you are using in your simulation (on time, on/off resistance). If your switch is switching too fast, you might be getting some unrealistic spikes. You are better off building it and then see what happens. As for photofets, I've used them before, and they are also very good for switching signals on and off. LDRs tend to have a switching delay that bothers some people.
