Adding Models to LTSpice

This is a method to add models to LTSpice that eliminates the

need for include statements and allows the component to be
accessed thru the regular Spice menu.
1- Create two new folders. One in LTC/LTSiceIV/lib/sub/new
(new is just the name I gave my file) and another in
LTC/LTSPiceIV/lib/sym/new.
2- Find the model you want from the part vendors site,
download it and save it into notepad as an ANSI Text file.
Note the exact part name in the line .SUBCKT

3- Save this file to the LTC/LTSiceIV/lib/sub/new folder as
LM324.sub (LM324 is just an example for a part number
use the one you downloaded.) This file must match the
.SUBCKT number from the downloaded file. Note that
324.sub is the file name not the file type. The file type is
still ANSI Text.

4-You could draw a new symbol, but it is easier to copy an

existing one. Go to LTC/LTSPiceIV/lib/sym/Opamps and choose a
component similar to the one you downloaded (in this case I
chose an LT1013 op amp) and double click it. It should open in
LTSpice.

4- You can now edit this device to match your new part.
Click on Edit-Edit Attributes from the LTSpice menu. The
symbol attribute window should open.

5- Modify the data by double clicking the line.

7- To add this part to a schematic click on the component icon
as usual, then new and LM324.
