Ltspice Definition and 56 Threads

spice does show a different ripple voltage than the one calculated using spice I load or Vdc load and Req and C. spice shows a ripple voltage of about 31mV, but calculating the ripple with the formula i get 38mV wich is really weird. as you can see in the photo i get a dc output voltage of...

I am trying to create a negative voltage rail using a zener diode for driving a MOSFET. I've read several placed online about using a zener diode for this purpose but I cannot seem to get it to work. I am simulating using LTspice but the negative rail just isn't there. I would be very grateful...

Attached is an ltcpice net file. The thevenin resistance betweed the 3ohm and 6ohm resistor is 7.6 ohms. This works out as 3ohms plus the parallel value of 20||6 (4.6ohms). My problem is - Why is this the thevenin resistance, could someone please explain?

How do i simulate the PWM signal with duty from 0% to 100% in Ltspice. I can generate a pwm signal with single duty.

Mike Engelhardt wrote and developed LTspice at Linear Technology over a period of 20 years. As the world's most widely used SPICE, it became a most valuable asset for Linear Technology. In March 2017, Analog Devices purchased Linear Technology for 14.8 billion dollars. Mike later left Analog...

Hello! I'm trying to model common mode current with LTSpice, but there is a problem with my simulation. Someone else tried on an other software and got the expected result, but I can't explain why. When going through the capacitor, square signals should become pulses, but that's not the case...

I use this netlist and simulation result came out as shown. I need to find the dc gain here and circuit diagram, but I'm not sure how. I would be very grateful if you could give me the answer.

The time domain analysis is easier to plot compared to analyzing the frequency with respect to the phase. But, LTSpice makes it look really easy. So, for a small signal AC analysis, LTSpice does use a AC voltage source for its frequency domain analysis function. This must be a really convenient...

Dear forumers, I have two high performance AC feedthrough capacitors (47nF, 100A, class Y2, DC-60Hz) which I want to either combine with a general purpose EMC line filter, or build a custom one to filter the mains from of about 100khz to as high as possible (for shielding purposes). I can see...

Hello friends, I am studying an article on impedance matching which states about matching a resistance of 52 ohms with 2k ohm. It is accomplished by adding an inductance of XL= 318 ohms in series with the 52 ohm resistor yielding a parallel equivalent of 328ohm as reactance and 2k ohm as my...
