LTspice

All things LTspice

Fast • Free • Unlimited

LTspice® is a powerful, fast, and free SPICE simulator software, schematic capture and waveform viewer with enhancements and models for improving the simulation of analog circuits. Its graphical schematic capture interface allows you to probe schematics and produce simulation results, which can be explored further through the built-in waveform viewer.

Learn how to use LTspice with our tutorials below or dive deeper with our selection of helpful tips and articles. You can also browse our library of macromodels and demo circuits for select Analog Devices products.

LTspice’s enhancements and models improve the simulation of analog circuits when compared to other SPICE solutions. Download LTspice below to see for yourself!
