Spice is a circuit simulator that you should have in your toolbox. While a simulator can’t tell you everything, it will often give you valuable insight into the way your circuit behaves, before you’ve ...

In recent years, the increasing use of circuit simulation for circuit design has expanded the number of tools being utilized. Among these, LTspice is an attractive option for a range of users, from ...

LTspice simulation of the K2-W Vacuum Tube Op Amp’s design reveals the mad science that created a commercial revolution in 1950s and 1960s analog computing. The K2-W's first-stage differencing ...

Most of us didn’t fight in World War II, drive a race car, or fly the Space Shuttle. But with simulation, you can experience at least some of what it would be like to do those things. Granted, playing ...

A few months back, a dynamic voltage-controlled thermistor SPICE model was presented on planet analog, A Multi-Simulator NTC Thermistor SPICE Model With Temperature Driven By a Voltage With the help ...

Level 1: Basic adjustment and analysis of switching speeds, optimized for quick simulation. Level 2: In additional to Level 1 features, includes thermal inputs and Cauer thermal RC network transient ...

Although it is common knowledge that their efficiency is poor, Peltier thermoelectric elements are considered the most versatile cooling elements; they are used in a wide range of applications, such ...
