LTspice: Adding Third-Party Models

Gabino Alonso - Strategic Marketing Engineer Oct 5th 2011
  LTspice supplies many device models to include discrete like transistors and MOSFET models. Nevertheless, there are also many third-party models from manufacturers that are available that you could add to your LTspice IV circuit simulations. These third-party SPICE models are described with a .MODEL and .SUBCKT statements. ...
