Quick Start Guide

Here’s a source of circuits from today’s application notes, data sheets and textbooks. Use the collection anyway that works for you:

Download the SPICE file and off you go! Simulate, modify, expand it any way you like.
Read the brief tour of how it works with hands-on design and analysis. Like a buffet table - take as little or as much as you need.
Simulate your own circuits. Find a circuit similar to your interest. Then, modify it to fit your needs.

If you're new to SPICE, the RC Low-Pass Filter is a great place to start.

OP AMP SERIES

SOLVE 10 OP AMP DESIGN ISSUES w/ CUSTOM SPICE MODELS

Why does this amplifier FAIL to meet spec?
Over the years, I've faced many design challenges trying to answer this question.
So I began creating custom LTSPICE models to help isolate and understand each parameter, one at a time.
