LTspice Tutorial

1) You can download LTspice from the link provided below.

https://www.analog.com/en/resources/design-tools-and-calculators/ltspice-simulator.html

2) Useful tutorial videos are given below.

3) You will see the following screen when you open the program.

• Ctrl+N -> New Schematic or left-click file, then left-click the new schematic.

4) The schematic window looks like the one given below.

• This is the toolbar where you can add components


5) Shortcuts:

• W -> Draw wire


• G -> Ground
• V -> Voltage Source
• R -> Resistor
• C -> Capacitor
• L -> Inductor
• D -> Diode
• N -> Label Net
• A -> Configure Spice Analysis
• Ctrl + R -> Run Simulation
• P -> Component Palette
• T -> Spice comment
• . -> Spice directive

6) Component Window: You can add any component available in the library.

7) Configure Spice Analysis:

• DC operating point:
• DC sweep example:

• “.” means that is the spice directive. If you have more than one simulation directive, you should
use one of these as a directive, and others as a comment. For instance;
o DC op analysis is the spice directive. (The blue one (DC sweep) is the comment)

o Right-click on the dc sweep, and click OK. (.op became as a comment)

8) Spice output log: Ctrl + L

A spice output log must be added to the homework report.

9) Transient analysis: You can run the .tran analysis if necessary. Just entering the stop time will be
enough for now.
Examples

1) You can right-click to enter the value of the components. (1 and 2 are the names of the nodes
which you added with Label Net)

DC operating point results:

2) LTspice uses a default diode model with a forward voltage of 0.7 V.


When you run the simulation;

Left-click on the OUT node will give the V(OUT)

Left-click on the component will give the I(component)


3) Definition of the diode model: Double-right-click on the diode name “D”, and write a name (in
this example: Mydiode).

Then, define a diode model as given below. This will result in zero forward voltage of the diode.

Zener diode:
4) Dependent sources;

o Voltage Controlled Voltage Source (VCVS):

Right-click on the “E” to enter the value of the coefficient of the dependent source.

VX=0.5 V, Vout=10*VX
o Voltage Controlled Current Source (VCCS):

VX=0.5 V, IG1=0.5*10 A, then, Vout=IG1*R1=5*100 V

o Current Controlled Voltage Source (CCVS):


I(V2)=I(R2)=0.1 A, V(H1)=Vout=0.1*10=1 V

o Current Controlled Current Source (CCCS):


I(V2)=I(R2)=0.1 A, I(F1)=0.1*10=1A, then Vout=I(F1)*R3=1*10=10 V
