: This pin dictates the output mode. If you tie it to ground, you enable push-pull mode where the outputs alternate. If you tie it to the 5V reference on pin 14, you enable single-ended mode, allowing both outputs to switch simultaneously but with a maximum duty cycle of about 96%. Using the wrong mode for your intended application will lead to incorrect waveforms.
The is a staple in power electronics for fixed-frequency pulse-width-modulation (PWM) control. However, if you've opened LTspice recently, you probably noticed a problem: there is no native TL494 model in the standard library.
* Output Stage Control (Pin 13) B4 102 0 V=V(13) ; Output Mode tl494 ltspice
The real utility of simulating the TL494 lies in tuning its dual internal error amplifiers for closed-loop voltage or current regulation. Error Amplifier Configuration
LTspice will automatically generate a block symbol with pins matching the subcircuit definition. : This pin dictates the output mode

Search reputable electronics simulation communities, open-source repositories (such as GitHub), or DIY audio/power electronics forums for a verified TL494 SPICE subcircuit. You will need two files: Using the wrong mode for your intended application
Whether you’re designing a simple LED dimmer, a motor speed controller, or a 360W push-pull converter, TL494 LTspice simulation can save you time, money, and frustration by letting you perfect your design before ever touching a soldering iron.
To verify that your imported model operates correctly, construct a simple open-loop Buck Converter test bench. Schematic Setup Checklist : Add a voltage component to supply VCCcap V sub cap C cap C end-sub Reference Voltage : Verify that Pin 14 ( VREFcap V sub cap R cap E cap F end-sub ) outputs a steady reference. Timing Components : Connect a resistor to RTcap R sub cap T capacitor to CTcap C sub cap T
