Need help with LTspice Quantizer

Aug 02, 2015 3 Replies

AOA,Hi and greetings :)



I am relatively new to SPICE environment ( never used it except in a recent course LAB). Now, we are given a Final year Project on making and simulati ng a model of Multi-bit sigma delta ADC. Things are going quite normal unti l i found this thread

formatting link



It has a code for quantizer which is the core part of ADC (and specifically our LTspice model). The problem i am facing is that i dont know how to run that netlist in LTspice. Here is the code

I sure do save the whole code with .cir extension from text file but it is giving me an error "Multiple instance of Flag"...Having not very good knowl edge of netlists (i always preferred GUI design instead of coding..my bad). And i know i can design a quantizer in GUI but knowing how to deal with NE TLIST will make life easier (since we can utalize pre-made programs uploade d on internet by nice people)



So guys, any ideas ? Please do let me know step by step on how to make it w ork and i will be very thankful to you peeps for helping me getting my proj ect done. JazakumAllah and thank you very much !

Open the ASC file with LTSpice and click the run button. You'll get a scope window and you can use the mouse to position the scope probe.

For more instructions, Google 'ltspice tutorial'.

Hey, that's my quantizer! I answered your question in another old thread; can you see that?
