Re: Simulating a transformer
That is a myth. Indeed, switching at 0, in a non-intuitive manner, produces a large current because the 1st derivative of voltage is at its peak. Since dI/dt is proportional to voltage, the derivative

Re: Simulating a transformer
Also, if you delay the sine by 90D so that the wave starts at the peak, you wont get that 1st half cycle thump that transformers like to do. Al D.

Re: Math Functions in LTSpice?
Chris, You can use either a BV source or a modulate component. Both of these are covered in the LTspice help file. Rick

Re: Simulating a transformer
Peter, If you use .trans ts iuc, the initial currents will be 0 and the energy stored will be 0. If you see that, it is correct. There is no lost energy in any real circuit. Rick

Re: Math Functions in LTSpice?
There is a built in 'modulate' component. If you search the group files, you will find lots of discussion about DIY modulate. Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2014 3:29 PM To: LTspice@...

Math Functions in LTSpice?
I would like to make a perfect AM signal using two sine voltages. I realize if I was able to multiply the value of the RF signal times the value of a DC offset AF signal, I would have a perfect AM

Re: Simulating a transformer
Hi Guys, It is useful to do a small math analysis on the system of differential equations of the transformer and to compare it with LTspice simulation result. It looks like the right set-up is: .tran

Re: Noise contributions from .subckt model
Hello John, I never thought about this before and indeed it's not possible to get the V-probe when moving the cursor over the opamp. You could subtract the noise from all resistors (here R1, R2, R3)

Noise contributions from .subckt model
When doing a noise analysis using a macromodel for an opamp is it possible to plot the noise contributions from the subckt? I am able to plot noise from each resistor at the top-level and the total
