Spice users can run into two types of problems with op-amp models: They need a model that is unavailable in their Spice library, or their library model may produce inaccurate simulation results for ...

Former EDN analog editor Bill Schweber has published a good article from Tamara Schmitz and Jian Wong about developing Spice macromodels for voltage-feedback op-amps. Part 1 (pdf), and part 2 (pdf).

When used with other blocks and modules, a new approach to modeling operational-amplifier output impedance behavior can provide a more realistic overall behavioral model. Simulating the behavior of a ...

The K2-W vacuum-tube op amp has an LTspice-simulated open loop gain of 27,000. The modeled K2-W input impedance is >100 MΩ. The LTspice modeled result shows 1.00 nA of input current. Early SPICE ...

Circuit simulations are great because you can experiment with circuits and make changes with almost no effort. In Circuit VR, we look at circuits using a simulator to do experiments without having to ...

In the last Circuit VR we looked at some basic op amp circuits in a simulator, including the non-inverting amplifier. Sometimes you want an amplifier that inverts the signal. That is a 5V input ...
