In Part 1, it was explained that the SPICE simulation tool allows you to analyze the behavior of electronic circuits in precise detail. This installment will analyze the RC time constant, which ...

In this article, we will explore AC analysis with the “.AC” directive, one of the main techniques for evaluating the frequency response of circuits. It is one of the most powerful features of SPICE ...

Using LTspice to determine the effect of voltage dependence caused by MLCCs. How to simulate for applications with variable voltage. Nonlinear models vs. the standard constant-capacitance model. 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 free version of spice from Linear Technology, and it is delightfully easy to use, intuative, and seems to work rather well. Note, there is a flasher version 3 Current through component ...
