Re: IBIS support?
Jon, No, IBIS isn't in LTspice. I think IBIS was an Intel invention that allowed them to give behavioral descriptions of their I/O pins without giving out implementation details. Anyway, I think IBIS

Re: Ways to minimize simulation time?

IBIS support?
Is there any support for IBIS models in LTSpice? Assuming that there isn't, are there any suggestions for what to do if a manufacturer only has an IBIS model for a part that I'd like to model?

Re: Displaying multiple plots
Steve, Multiple plot windows were a precursor to the multiple pane plots that are now supported. The active window is the one most recently opened. Whether adding plot a trace to an old window will be

Displaying multiple plots
I just discovered (maybe everyone else already knew) that if you choose View / Simulation Data after a plot is displayed, you get a second independant plot window. If you rerun a simulation, only the

Re: Importing models from Spice3
Jon, By and large, you can run spice3 models in LTspice. LTspice can use resistor models. But it looks like there is one syntax incompatiblity here, you'd have to put the resistor model before the

Accessing the Value field for an expression
Is there a way, in LT SPice, to access the value field of a component in a schematic, for use in a {} formula? For example, let's say I have a component, R1, which is 47k. I know that the voltage

Re: Singular matrix: Check nodes u1:v1:hb and u1:v1:hb ?

Re: Singular matrix: Check nodes u1:v1:hb and u1:v1:hb ?
The "Questionable use of curly braces" just means the model is written with sloppy syntax. LTspice is pretty verbose about error messages. You can ignore it. Post the circuit with models for more
