Circuit Simulation in LTSpice Tutorial part 1/3

A tutorial on how to set up simulations in LTSpice, create bode plots of phase and magnitude for a passive RC low pass filter.

The production quality from 2010 of this guy is above the charts

I love you!! I know this video is 10 years old... but thanks to coronavirus I have to simulate ALL the school work we would do in labs!!!

You are VERY good at teaching. The reason is because you do not get caught up in tangents. I have been a teacher for 4 years teaching guitar lessons with 30 students and I still go on major tangents and I can see when they are loosing me. You make it very fun and you get people moving even when they have little circuit knowledge!!!

People like you that start from the ground up. Thank you very much!

[paests]

Very clear and perfectly helpful for beginners. Thank you!

After 10 years a random guy drop by to give you a like 👍🏻

Old but very good video, the best I've seen LT.
Should do an update to new version

[dominikgruen]

thank you for that great tutorial. but unfortunately I have a MAC... and the mac version is just.. i dont know .. a rotten onion when the windows version is a tasty apple... how the heck are those versions so different??? really frustrating!!! fortunately there are enough amazing people in this world to understand and wanting to share their knowledge with others!! Thank you again!! and thank you to all the instructive video makers out there!!

Sorry if I am redundant, but at 5:15, what he means here is "Select menu/Plot Settings/Manual Limits". I'm not sure where to "right click" there, but this suggestion gets you there. (This is not a complaint! This is the best intro tutorial to LTS, and I am happy to, hopefully, add some positive info. If he just continues at flank speed, we don't have an issue with sorting the details, do we?)

Holy cow, didn't know LTSpice was this easy nor this powerful. Kudos!

[judgenap]

Just loaded LTSpice. Thanks for such great videos. perfect.

[Mossberg]

I knew how to do alot of stuff on LTSpice but not how to do these Bode plots. Thanks!!!

[assadij]

Finally a quick tutorial to the point.
Thank you :-)

Not gonna like I came here because I wanted to make my own infrared LED device for head tracking on DCS WORLD. I ended up here to learn how to use LTSpice so I can make a virtual device before buying the parts to make it.

I have little experience with making a circuit, it is not my career to make circuits, im on an adventure to make a head tracking device and I really appreciate learning how to use LTSpice. I really doubt Ill be learning anything more about making circuits in the future though. This is fun as i am entering unchartered waters for myself.

I love your videos and simple described to understand with some engg. fun .

Thank you for informing us of this software, it's awesome I've been able to design some really cool circuits using it.

Though it should be made known that once circuits get complex like in an SMPS topology, things work fine in the simulation, but in real life if you miss a calculation, things explode, for instance I've made an astable multivibrator running at 600V using 2N2222s that worked fine in simulation, but in real life the transistors would explode.

How do you add those encrypted third party models for MOSFETs, ICs and other sub-circuits, like the ones from Fairchild? I cant seem to find a clear, clean way to do it and your videos are very concise. :)

[Hreinn]

found it. Thx for the tutorial. I'm a big fan of LTspice as well

[prallerwutz]

Very very nice! You have a nice way of explaining, this was one very nice tutorial. Please do more!

[skaraoschi]

awesome program 10x for the tutorial man, cheers from Romania

[JCHaywire]

Is LTSPICE still the gold standard? I'm looking around and wondering which software to learn.
