We like to build things using real parts. But we do think the more you can model using tools like LTSpice, the less time you can spend going down dead ends. If you need to model a common component ...

[Ted] recently demonstrated the analysis of an RL circuit using a piece of paper, Octave, and LTSpice. If you prefer, the Octave code should work fine in MATLAB, as well. If you are looking to get ...

A guidebook for the LTSpice IV software application used to produce high performance electronics has recently been released. Written by Gilles Brocard,with a preface from Mike Engelhardt, the book ...

Before you start building a digital temperature sensing circuit, you must take the pure mechanical aspects (not treated in this article) and the electro-thermal aspects of your design into account. To ...

Linear Technology Corporation employs software guru Mike Engelhardt. Mike, better known to we Silicon Valley denizens as Panama Mike due to his styling headwear, developed a SPICE package sometimes ...
