Re: Lib/Sym path and recursive searching in LTspice V24 (was: Library file is not loaded)
Hi, : Thank you for the opinions replied. I found another method, to record all recursive paths into single line for every recursion path in old LTspice V.17. It's using the 'dos command window' app,

Re: step recovery diode in LTspice
It's most likely a typo. "C" and "D" are adjacent on a UK keyboard. Having not noticed initially, it proliferated and I have loads of files prefixed with "SRC" in that work folder. ? -- Regards,

Re: step recovery diode in LTspice
abid, In many SPICE programs (which might include LTspice), the built-in diode model's diode capacitance follows these formulas: C = Cj*area + Ct Cj = Cjo*(1-Vd/Vj)^-M for Vd ¡Ü Fc*Vj =
