All rights reserved. 2 Why Use LTspice? ► Stable SPICE circuit simulation with: Unlimited number of nodes Schematic/symbol editor Waveform viewer Library of passive devices ► Fast simulation of switch mode power supplies Steady state detection Turn on transient Step response Efficiency / power computations ► Advanced analysis and simulation options Not covered in this lab class (sort of) ► Outperforms or as powerful as pay-for tools In other words LTspice is free! ► Automatically builds syntax for common tasks 2500+ macromodels of Legacy Linear Technology products 1500+ power products 300+ Legacy ADI Products (power and amps) LTspice is also a great schematic capture / BOM tool SPICE = Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis

User’s Group URL = https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/LTspice/info Also contains many very helpful discussion threads and tutorials ► Use the schematic editor to create your own design LTspice contains models for most LTC power devices, opamps, and many more ADI opamp models are being added to the LTspice library (nearly 100 ADI models to date) LTspice can be used to simulate any analog circuit you can think of!

Workaround: Alt+Left-Click on individual component and integrate waveform ► Probe the various nodes and verify the circuit is stabilized If not, edit the .tran statement and increase the Stop Time parameter. Re-run simulation ► For multiple output and/or multiple input supplies, efficiency must be determined partially by hand from the efficiency report Alternatively use behavioral models ► Right-Click any component will report power dissipation if steady state has been detected or Mark Start/End has been used ► If circuit has stabilized for a long time and LTspice still hasn’t detected the steady-state Use Mark Start/End (Simulate pull-down menu ---> Efficiency Calculation ---> Select Mark Start/End) Only steady-state data is displayed before Mark End

©2019 Analog Devices,
Inc. All rights reserved. 80 Importing Third Party SPICE Models Steps for importing a third-party SPICE model: 1.) Download the SPICE model file from the manufacturer’s website 2.) Place the SPICE model file in the same directory as the LTspice simulation file (simplest). It can be placed in another folder on your computer or even on a network drive. 3.) Open up the SPICE model file and note the device name 4.) Add the following SPICE directive to the LTspice simulation schematic (Edit pull- down menu ---> SPICE Directive): .include spice_model_file_name.abc 5.) Modify the device name on the LTspice schematic to match the device name listed in the SPICE model file (Right+Click on the device name on the simulation schematic and modify accordingly).
81.
©2019 Analog Devices,
Inc. All rights reserved. 81 Importing Third Party SPICE Models The following items are CRITICAL! 1.) The file name in the .include statement must match the SPICE model file name identically! The file name syntax is can be anything, just make sure that all of the characters match. 2.) The device name on the LTspice simulation schematic must match the device name in the SPICE model file identically! The device name syntax can be anything, just make sure that all of the characters match.
