Did you know that you can use LTspice to do Digital Signal Processing (DSP)? Actually, I should say it is useful for validating the operation of a signal-processing algorithm under development. This ...

If you need a precise time, you could use a microcontroller. Of course, then all your friends will say “Could have done that with a 555!” But the 555 isn’t magic — it uses a capacitor and a comparator ...

LTSpice is a tool that every electronics nerd should have at least a basic knowledge of. Those of us who work professionally in the analog and power worlds rely heavily on the validity of our ...

What is a transfer function? How to implement a Laplace transform in LTspice. Analyzing transfer functions in the frequency and time domains. Looking at compensator design in LTspice. Transfer ...

How to use statistical tools for component tolerance analysis. A look at methods such as Monte Carlo and Gaussian distribution. Simulating a dc-dc converter in LTspice to model closed-loop voltage ...

For the development of dynamic systems in electrical engineering, control engineering, and even mechatronics, the steady-state response at the output of the system to harmonic excitation (sinusoidal ...

Figure 1. Simulated output noise along with each resistor’s noise contribution. To fully illustrate what is meant here and how to do noise analysis for an op amp, it’s necessary to first introduce how ...
