How to define the initial charge of a capacitor in SPICE

I would like to simulate a circuit with a capaciot in LTSPICE. In the first hand, I have tried to charge the capacitors in a period of time. However, the charging current is very high and I am not sure whether the capacitor will be completely…

Why do I get this weird curve for impedance vs Frequency

I am currently working on a simulation for an RLC circuit in Pspice, I am trying to plot the impedance vs frequency curve. After a good while of trying out stuff, I always get such weird curve. Not sure if the function is wrong on its very own In…

How to change the temperature of sub-circuits in LTSPICE

I have subcircuits of a solar cell (resistors and diodes) in LTSPICE. I want to connect the solar cells (sub-circuits) together. However, each solar cell has a different temperature. I can set the temperature of the program with .Temp but how can I…

Fourier series of output voltage

I've been practicing some Fourier series questions and then verifying my answers by generating an equivalent graph on MATLAB and comparing it with the graph generated by PSpice in simulating the same circuit. This is my working: The Fourier series…

Using Spice/PSpice (Vishay optocoupler) models in LTSpice

I am trying to use the Vishay-provided spice models of the 6N137 high-speed optocoupler in LTSpice. (Source: http://www.vishay.com/optocouplers/list/product-84732/) Both the "PSpice" model and the "Spice" model fail however. With the "PSpice"…

Simulating step function in PSpice

How do I implement the the function in Pspice? \$V_s(t)=1.5u(t)-3u(t-.01)+1.5u(t-.02)\$ I know to use the VPULSE source but it has only two voltages as parameters but I need 3.

A couple of questions about a 555 in astable mode and a blinking LED

I would like to ask you guys to comment a bit. Does it work in real life? I would like to use a 555 in astable mode with the same time intervals for on and off (both 1s) and let a Vishay diode flash. I know it is not 100% possible to have the same…
