How do you simulate voltage noise with
LTSpice?
Yes, you can inject noise using the arbitrary voltage (or current) source, then use things ike the
andor of white function to create some noise.
Here is an example circuit (I separated the noise from the signal just to make things clearer -
‘obviously you can combine them together in one function if you wish):
Simulation:All the functions are detailed in the help under circuit elesents -> arbitrary behavioral voltage
Noise simulation mode
Also, just in ease you were not aware, SPICE has a noise simulation mode, to quote from the help files:
Basic example:
SimulationThe above is rather
ring as
ly models the resistor noise (stepped the resistor through various
values to show how the Johnson noise increases with resistance). Butt can be very useful with more
complex circuits containing diodes/transistors/opamps/
(Not enough rep. yet to create 2 co
nment on Ol’'s post, so this goes in a post oft ov)
Otis past above is very useful, but for the LTSpice beginner, its perhaps worth explaining how to
_actually create of one of those “arbitrary behavioral voltage source" Iwas nalvely expecting to be
able to modify the value of a normal voltage source to enter the white(.) formula, but of course, it
does nat work
Instead, you have to press the “component” button inthe toolbar, and in the window that opens, pick
a component of type "bv
SPICE {| can tell you if LTSPice is 2 subset of normal SPICE or not) normally has the ability to model
the noise that each device generates. | think your question is more about how to you measure h
effective your filtering is and how much an external interfering signal may affect each node
To do that what you need to
that is AC analysis ofthe circuit,
To do a noise analysis you need to use both ac and noise. So noise analysis i a subset of ac analysis,
