• Convert Ltspice Netlist To Schematic

MUFF WIGGLER:: View topic - Designers: What are using for circuit simulation? - Author Designers: What are using for circuit simulation? Valueduser I mostly live in modelsim land for simulating digital designs. I have previosly used orcad pspice for analog work. I'm just curious whether or not there is a preferred capture/simulation package among the diy community?

Kvitekp I'm using LTSpice here: it's free and pretty good. Gwaidan LTSpice (on OS X using WINE). The schematic editor is pretty painless, and there's a good supply of parts models from the user community. Valueduser I'll have to fire that up again. I used it briefly for some tube circuits. It seemed a bit clunky to me when I was using it, but I guess it was no worse in that regard to pspice.

It was definitely easier to import the spice models for the tubes. Seanpark I have not used it much but I finally upgraded to Mavericks and played with LTSpice. Very simple, clean software. I love that they ditched the Windows toolbar in favor of right click menus. So much easier to use. Prior to begrudgingly installing mavericks I tried various FLOSS simulation software and nothing really worked for me.

That's from a GEDA-PCB user, too. Stewart Pye I also use LT Spice. Once you get to know the keyboard shortcuts it doesn't seem so clunky. Alphabetter Another vote for LTSpice if I want to do quantitative simulations. To understand circuits intuitively I find the Falstad simulator to me much better: Now and Zen +1 for Ltspice, importing models could be easier and its clunky but hey, it's free and very good once you find your way around it. Latest version of Eagle allows schematic capture from LTSpice; haven't tried it though.

It crashes or fails to converge much more often than I would like. Daverj I seldom do any simulation. Unless you get into complex Monte Carlo simulation runs involving tolerances, temperatures, and probability, it can give you a false sense of what the real world circuit will perform like. At least beyond a very basic it works/doesn't work result. I mostly use simulations to see group delay and phase shift for passive filters, but occasionally to see if something will function roughly the way I imagine it will. When I do simulations I use the variant of Spice built into Altium Designer, since it is tightly integrated with the schematics and PCB I am designing.

But that's not a DIY level program (pretty expensive). I have used LTSpice and it is slow to enter schematics, but the simulation part of it is top notch. In fact a few times I have exported a simulation netlist from Altium and run it in LTSpice because the results seemed more accurate. Spacedog simple but available for Android and iOS: Dr.

Prettier than LTSpice and better features. Easier to measure stepped values and proper pot modelling rather than the collection of hacked pots in LTSpice. Also Spice based so if you want to use commands for better control then that is available to you.

I am also running a wine skinned version on OSX with no issues. You can get it off the TI site for free. BrianAndren commathe wrote: I've been using TINA-TI.

I started off using NGSpice in Linux. However, when I went simulate an ADC buffer circuit using TI OP Amps NGSpice complained about the OP Amp models. This pushed me over to TINA. I've been happy with TINA so far.
