Description

Hi Everyone-LTspice is a SPICE based circuit simulator produced by Analog Devices (more specifically  Linear Technology). -This simulation tool is very simple to use. I will be telling you all the basics.  I will be talking about how to use the LTspice simulator and all the basics related to the graphical user interface and the list of items shown below.-I will talk about the behavioral voltages, currents, dependent sources-How to place the resistors, capacitors, inductors, and transformers-Various simulation commands such as the DC operating point , DC sweep, and the AC analysis sweep (frequency domain feedback loop analysis)-Transient analysis (time domain)-Import third party models into LTspice (such as the zener diode models, NPN transistor models, operational amplifier, and any sub circuit).-How to build Hierarchical models especially when the schematic becomes very complex.-How to perform Montecarlo analysis on components.- How to download the LTspice simulator from Analog Devices website and run it successfully.This course is for everyone who want to learn the LTspice simulator basics.  I hope you enjoy this course and understand all the basics of how to do run the circuits and build the circuits. Hopefully you become an LTspice expert.
