Superposition, Thevenin's Equivalent, and LTSpice
Task 1 - Reviewing Superposition and Spice
Fig 1 - Worked by hand to find that Ia=1.4mA, Ib=0.6mA, and Ic=0.8mA
In the LTSpice simulation, the absolute value of the results were the
same, but LTSpice had a different frame of reference for the current
directions.
Fig 2 - LTSpice simulaton showed results as Ia= -1.4mA, Ib= -0.6mA, and Ic= -0.8mA, confirming the work by hand.
Task 2 - Review Thevenin's Equivalent Circuit and simulate in LTSpice
Fig 3 - Hand calculation using Thevenin's Equivalent circuit to calculate a time delay of 10.08 microseconds
Fig 4 - LTSpice simulaton gave
a time delay of approximately 10 microseconds, which corresponds to the
calculation by hand of 10.08 microseconds
