Modeling a transmission line
An ideal transmission line consists of two isolated ports, linked by a time delay. A real transmission line works similarly, but with a common mode impedance between ends; this is best simulated by ...

Why don't simulators work with a self-oscillating voltage booster circuit using a transformer and a transistor?
These sorts of simple self oscillating schemes rely on transformer saturation to define the on time by volt seconds applied to the winding .This is a close relative to the blocking oscillator .You ...

Why don't simulators work with a self-oscillating voltage booster circuit using a transformer and a transistor?
It's not the simulator that's isn't working. The challenge is to accurately model your circuit: not just its connections, but also the circuit elements. Even then, simulations can bomb out when they ...

Why don't simulators work with a self-oscillating voltage booster circuit using a transformer and a transistor?
The transformer winding in the collector is the wrong way round. You need to swap the two connections such that when the collector goes towards ground, the base goes positive.
The dots on the windings ...

RTD Simulator vs Resistors
Assuming this is for demonstration a simulator in not needed. You can build your own by place a pot in series with a resistor where the resistor is the value of the lowest resistance you expect and ...

RTD Simulator vs Resistors
It might seem absurd that a simulator might cost more than the RTD sensor or meter.
Traceability on calibration can be expensive or complicated if you are not experienced in metrology. Also, if the ...

RTD Simulator vs Resistors
You can use resistors (usually a decade box is used, made with precision wirewound resistors) but it's less convenient perhaps to dial in a precise resistance that corresponds to a specific ...

Disturbance in AC adapter
Are those distortions something to be expected? If so, why?
The disturbance at the top of the positive peak is fundamental to any practical rectifier and smoothing capacitor. Once the capacitor has ...

How to input range of current values in LT Spice
I want my waveform to oscillate from 10uA to 10mA
That's a peak-to-peak value of 9.99 mA or, a peak value of 4.995 mA.
So, use two current sources in parallel; one set to produce a peak current of 4....

How to input range of current values in LT Spice
I would use a behavioral current source (bi in the components library)
The amplitude could be driven by a voltage source in PWL mode :
and then, the arbitrary current source (or here voltage source) ...

Triple-555 timer circuit not working in Proteus
Logic toggle is supposed to be a logic input and therefore cannot be used as a power source.
For any 555 models inside Proteus, if you connect GND properly but leave the VCC pin unconnected (i.e. ...

Failed to find DC operating point for AC analysis LTspice
Judging from the apparent topology of the circuit drawn around the opamp, I guess you are trying to make an inverting amplifier. If so, it looks like you simply connected wires wrong. The input ...

Can anyone explain the role of some of these blocks in this PV inverter system?
The batteries can be charged or discharged. The switching selects this.
The DC rail voltage needs to be converted to the mains peak voltage and be able to vary it. This is what the flyback converter ...

DC sweep tries to save time and reuse results from the previous step as a "seed". Turns out this seed makes convergence worse sometimes. I've ran into this bug many times.
