- The LTspice user's group is found at: https://groups.io/g/LTspice
- LTspice,
aka SwitcherCAD, is a powerful and easy to use schematic capture program
and SPICE
engine, without node or component limitations, that can be downloaded here.
- To use
LTspice with the examples at CMOSedu.com:
1.
Install
LTspice.
2.
Unzip
the contents of LTspice_CMOSedu.zip
onto, for example, the desktop (the
LTspice simulation examples from both books
with extras!)
3.
The
*.asc files can be opened, simulated, and the schematics modified using
LTspice.
4.
Help
using the LTspice simulations examples from CMOSedu.com is found here.
- LTspice tutorials from CMOSedu.com are found here.
- Video tutorial on using LTspice on the Mac is found here.
- LTspice uses Level=8 for BSIM3 and Level=54 for BSIM4 (information about models from MOSIS is found here).
- Getting started with LTspice.pdf
(From Linear Technology, Inc.).
- Suggestions for speeding up LTspice simulations are found here.
- ***If the output
plots are jagged add the spice
directive*** .options
plotwinsize=0 to the schematic (see left image below, click to
enlarge).
- Information on setting LTspice
up with the Electric
VLSI Design
System is found here.
