Summary This document is a guide to plotting multiple circuit plots on the same graph. It will also
include some basic LTSpice tips as well and a shortcut keys guide at the bottom.
If you desire to plot multiple different circuits on one plot, begin by designing an input source like so
Notice that the source is set to AC 1. Do this by right clicking the source and selecting the advanced
options. Then, set the AC amplitude to 1V as shown.
If you place a power pin on the positive terminal, the same source can be connected to each of the circuits
that you wish to plot. Then, place the same power pin can be placed on each circuits input, like so:
This will connect the input source to each of the different circuits. This in effect places a source at the
input of each circuit and sweeps them together. Therefore, as many circuits as are desired can be swept
together. Select simulate -> edit simulation cmd -> AC analysis and insert the desired range and number
of points to plot. This will sweep the AC 1 source. When you hit run, you should get a plot like so:
You can plot extra curves by right clicking the plot and selecting add trace (or pressing ctrl+A). As a
side note, LTSpice is a
such as F3 to wire, F4 for power pin, or C for capacitor, project manipulations become much faster. Then
select the curves that you wish to plot, such as the transfer function of the 20dB circuit (or
V(vout20dB)/V(vin), notice that this process is much easier if you label important nodes in your circuit,
such as the output). This will make our graph look like so:
However, notice that we might not want to display the phase for the plot, or that we wish to change the
scaling on one of the axis. We can edit this by simply left clicking the axis to change the range, scale, or
not plot the phase/gain at all. Therefore, all of the plots together should look like so:
Notice that the colors for each trace can be manipulated by simply right clicking the equation at the top.
Furthermore, a VERY USEFUL TIP IF YOU DONT KNOW ABOUT
cursor menus can be accessed by left clicking the equation that you wish to follow.
