LTspice – Getting Started in 8 Minutes

We’re working on creating a set of tutorials about basic circuits, and being able to check your work with a circuit simulator can come in handy! LTspice is a free and powerful simulator created by Linear Technology (hence, LT – but now owned by Analog Devices) but it has a steep learning curve for a first time user. In this tutorial, we go over all the steps you need to do a simple DC analysis and find the answers you need. The transcript is also available on the CircuitBread website – https://www.circuitbread.com/tutorials/ltspice-getting-started-in-8-minutes
