I usually have a couple of "voltage" things off to the side, making +5 and -5 or whatever, and have each opamp with little doglegs on its power pins, same net names. Somewhere I thought I saw a circuit where the opamps were powered by little boxes with "+5" or something inside, with no other supply needed. Does that work? If so, how do you invoke it? -- John Larkin Highland Technology, Inc picosecond timing precision measurement jlarkin att highlandtechnology dott com http://www.highlandtechnology.com

It netlists as: V1 x 0 +5V I tried to draw a circle in LTspice, but the drawing tool is the most obtuse POS I've ever seen. In PSpice you choose Draw/Circle, click on the center point, then drag it out to the desired diameter. ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson | mens | | Analog Innovations | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | San Tan Valley, AZ 85142 Skype: skypeanalog | | | Voice:(480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | I love to cook with wine.

You can choose whether these anchor points are visible or not under the 'view' menu. RL
