TL431 with dynamic elements, behavior with two instances

[jackinnj]

I've copied Christophe Basso's TL431 model into Multisim.  The model works well, reflecting gain/phase as seen in Christophe's book "Switch Mode Power Supplies"  However, when there is another instance of the component in the same schematic, unexpected results occur. When the simulation first is run, the output voltage is correct @3.3V.  If I place another TL431 I get what is illustrated in the snapshot.

Nodes 1=REF, 2=Anode, 3=Cathode.  The model:

Hi Jackinnj,

By placing a component on the work area, even though it's not connected to the circuit it will be part of the netlist and can affect the simulation.  It can alter how the SPICE calculates the circuit and there may be common ground inside the model which means  unconnected component is not part of the circuit.

Hello!
How do I add TL431 in multisim
Please explain me step by step procedure

Hi Dexter,

You can refer to this knowledge base:

There should be several TL431 components from TI under Power->Voltage reference.

I attached a file with Christophe Basso's version of the TL431.

please attach your circuit so that we can investigate.

Thanks
