2. 3. Series: Reproducing Real Waveforms with the LTspice Circuit Simulator (12 parts) Subtitle: An Introduction to Model Creation and Tuning with Free Tools. Each part takes up one type of component, builds a SPICE model from the datasheet and measurements, and tunes it by comparing simulated and real waveforms in an application circuit. There was no installment in the February 2012 issue. The series was later compiled into the book LTspice, the Standard Circuit Simulator: Techniques for Creating Component Models.

Scope and Notes • Compiled from publicly available web sources, including the issue tables of contents and series pages on the official Transistor Gijutsu website, the CQ Publishing web shop, and online bookstores. • No articles from the June 2015 issue onward could be found in the online tables of contents. Some articles may have been missed. • The appendices to the special feature in the May 2011 issue (on SiC MOSFETs) are not included, because the official table of contents does not name the author. • The most reliable way to check every issue is to filter the Transistor Gijutsu table-of-contents database (TR.TXT), published by CQ Publishing, by author name.
