Checking the schematic by SPICE simulation


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

As I understand it, I have to make a copy of the schematic and add voltage sources (power and signal) and a load. Then add to that the simulation command. But how do I introduce the models and subcircuits for the active components?

What would be much easier for me is to be able to copy the schematic into LTspice (as that is what I use) and do the simulation in that environment. But is is possible to do that, i.e. can KiCad export a schematic (or even a netlist) that SPICE understands?

This is important because it can be a costly mistake not to realise that the KiCad opamp symbol has the + input uppermost, whereas it is most common, I think, to see the - input uppermost. The EDR can't detect that error, of course.
