Folk, Thanks to some good help here in the past, I have a nice clean oscillator (for my new fox transmitters), but I'm having trouble with the LTSpice simulation at higher frequencies. I'm assuming that the Intersil Spice model for the CA3046 is bad, and I know JT has a better one. Anyhow, I have two questions about the attached LTSpice schematic. 1) When I set it to 30MHz, LTSpice ...

I've never used a mfr model that was a subckt before; I've always added the .MODEL to the LTSpice library file, or edited an existing device. This Vishay MOSFET has a more complex model though, and she ain't loadin' Jim. LTSpice says it can't find the model for M1. I even tried putting the definition right in the .asc, still no joy. I followed the LTSpice help info, as best I could. A...

Is there anyone here who thinks LTspice has a good UI? I've been working with it for a week or so, after not using for over a year. It's very hard to reacclimate to the zoom in and out being backwards from every UI I know under Windows. The Function keys will become familiar again, if I continue using it, but what an uphill climb. I saw in an LTspice post that Mike E. is w

I just stumbled across LTspice XVII today - I never realised there had been any development post LTspice IV. Very glad to see some long awaited improvements to the UI, especially the floating windows support. Give it a try!

Every time I want to do something with LTspice I have to fight the UI something wicked. Doing anything relating to commands is pure torture. I eventually figured out how to do what I wanted, but it is amazing how poor not only the UI is, but the documentation. I have learned programming languages by reading the manuals. But I can't decipher the .MEAS statement in LTspice along with m...

I was running some simulations on LTspice and it is not even using 5% of my CPU. Nothing else is topping it and the entire computer is pretty much at idle. What could be limiting the speed? One of the main reasons I bought a laptop with an i7 processor was to speed simulations. Is this wasted on LTspice or am I doing something wrong? -- Rick C

Call me dense, but after many years of using LTspice, during which many times I inserted return-loss bridges into my circuits to measure S11, someone pointed out to me that LTspice has a directive for that. Just insert ".net V1 v(out)" somewhere into the schematic, and an S11 trace will become available. I'm still missing some of the finer points however: The resulting S11 only makes se...

I've never used ltspice / circuit simulators before; though based on seeing posts to the group from various people seems it's something I might find useful (noting, of course, this is a hobby rather than something I get paid for). Looked it up, and seems ltspice is a windows/mac application, whereas the native equivalent on linux would be ngspice. To avoid starting with one and switching ...

As you probably know, in many occasions LTspice cannot take advantage of multiple CPU cores because many operations are not easily parallelizable. In fact, most simulations I make use less than 20/25% of CPU (intel i5, 4 cores/8 threads). However, running more processes of LTspice to execute different simulations at the same time should overcome this limitation: each simulation is distinct...

Yahoo is terminating service on Oct 21. The LTspice group is moving to https://groups.io/g/LTspice/topics The migration is in process. The AllFiles folder may be missing some updates. Helmut tried to update the file but Yahoo refused to allow it. These problems and other glitches will probably be corrected soon. Many people are pleased with the move. Due to the many problems with Yaho...

I need to be able to model a mosfet with values of L, W, Vth, Kprime, lamba and gamma, and I'm trying to figure out how to do this with LTSpice. Looking at ltspice mosfet models, they don't have a separate value for K. They have Cgs, W and L. K is a function of Cgs, W, L, and electron mobility. So I could sort of kluge my own mosfet model by choosing Cgs so that K comes out just right. ...

Having attended an LTspice seminar yesterday in Arizona, and lunching with Mike Engelhardt (*), I learned a number of tricks... Main trick I learned is that it is trivial to make auto-generated symbols... so I will be gradually updating my Device Models & Subcircuits Page to include LTspice symbols (.asy) 8-) (Roughly 1/3 are done today... be aware that you will have to adjust model call...

How do I use John chan L model on the form in Ltspice? I can't seem to find a way to instruct LTspice to use it over the standard? I looked for a model card to use but I don't see it what I was looking for? All it shows is how to do it in at the text file level, I want to do it on the form? Or do I need to write an include file for that specific L? If so, then I assume when ...

Courier New is gone? No Unicode? LTspice IV had Courier New. None of the new and limited set seems to be monospaced.

Folks, Need to spiff up my simulation speeds here. IIRC Mike Engelhardt stated that the Intel i7 is a really good processor for LTSPice. According to this it looks like the 4790 is the fastest of the bunch: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/core/core-i7-processor.html So, what do thee say, is the computer in the Costco link below a good deal for LTSpice purposes? htt...

Today I found that a simulation wasn't working right because the set and reset on the flip-flop (dflop) in LTSpice has the set and reset inputs active high. Yet every modern flip-flop is active low. So I had to invert everything on those inputs just for the simulation. The "Special Functions" instructions in LTSPice are silent about this issue. Does this date back to the days of Methusa...

there is a facility to rotate a nmos4 and pmos4 in ltspice but i want to flip my component. so please suggest me any solution.
