SPICE It Up!

Circuit simulation with LTspice

Circuit simulation is useful for everyone who works with electronics — from students and enthusiasts to professionals. It lets you quickly verify and modify designs without making a lot of calculations, and it is helpful for dealing with non-ideal component properties that are ignored in formulas, among other things. In this article we provide a concise introduction to the subject for readers who are not already familiar with SPICE-based simulators.
