  1. SPICE Using LTSpice Dr. Aslan Texas State university

  2. Outline • Introduction to SPICE • DC Analysis • Transient Analysis • AC Analysis • Subcircuits • Optimization • Power Measurement

  3. Introduction to SPICE • Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis • Developed in 1970’s at Berkeley • Many commercial versions are available • HSPICE is a robust industry standard • Has many enhancements that we will use • Written in FORTRAN for punch-card machines • Circuits elements are called cards • Complete description is called a SPICE deck

  4. Writing Spice Decks • Writing a SPICE deck is like writing a good program • Plan: sketch schematic on paper or in editor • Modify existing decks whenever possible • Code: strive for clarity • Start with name, email, date, purpose • Generously comment • Test: • Predict what results should be • Compare with actual • Garbage In, Garbage Out!

  5. Some Facts and Rules about Spice • Spice is not case sensitive.  Rsource and RsOuRcE and RSOURCE are equivelent. • All element names must be unique.  You can't have two capacitors that both are named “C1”. • The first line in the data file is used as a title.  Spice will ignore this line as circuit data. Put your name and title. • There must be a node designated "0" (Zero).This is the reference node against which all voltages are calculated. • Each node must have at least two elements attached to it. • The last line in any data file must be ".END"  (a period followed by the word "end.") • All lines that are not blank (except for the title line) must have a character in column 1, the leftmost position on the line. • Use "*" (an asterisk) in column 1 in order to create a comment line. • Use "+" (plus sign) in column 1 in order to continue the previous line (for better readability of very long lines). • Use "." (period) in column 1 followed by the rest of the "dot command" to pass special instructions to the program. • Use the designated letter for a part in column 1 followed by the rest of the name for that part (no spaces in the part name). • Use "whitespace" (spaces or tabs) to separate data fields on a line. • Use ";" (semicolon) to terminate data on a line if you wish to add commentary information on that same line.

The following example performs and prints the transient analysis every 1 ns for 100 ns. .TRAN 1NS 100NS 2. The following example performs the calculation every 10 ns for 1 µs; the initial DC operating point calculation is bypassed, and the nodal voltages specified in the .IC statement (or by IC parameters in element statements) are used to calculate initial conditions. .TRAN 10NS 1US UIC

  18. Data Transfer to MATLAB Change the file name. Keep the extension (mace it .xls if you want to open in excel) Assume I have the previous circuit Example_TRAN.cir. After you run Simulate now you can import your data to MATLAB for further analysis. In LTSpice go to File → Export Now you can open your MATLAB and relocate MATLAB directory where you saved “Example_ TRAN.txt” file. Highlight the data values (Transient analysis time will be added)

  19. Data Transfer to MATLAB (cont.) Now you can open your MATLAB and relocate MATLAB directory where you saved “Example_ TRAN.txt” file. In MATLAB command window type >> load Example_TRAN.txt will create and error. This is due to forst line of the txt file. MATLAB cannot read that first line as data. Delete that line and save your file. Do not forget the order of the columns. (1st Column is time, 2nd I(Cp) and 3rd one is I(Lp)) >> load Example_TRAN.txt In workspace of MATLAB you will see the loaded data. It hae 202 rows and 3 columns. Next step we will save the data as time, I(Cp) and I(Lp). Txt file xls file

  20. Data Transfer to MATLAB (cont.) In workspace of MATLAB you will see the loaded data. It hae 202 rows and 3 columns. Next step we will save the data as time, I(Cp) and I(Lp). >> t=Example_TRAN(:,1); %This will save t as time variable >> I_Cp=Example_TRAN(:,2); %This will save I_Cpas time I(Cp) >> I_Lp=Example_TRAN(:,3); %This will save I_Lpas time I(Lp) Your work place shoul look like this Now we can plot these >> >> plot (t, I_Cp, t,I_Lp)
