Alright, I spent the better part of today getting re-acquainted with LTspice and I entered the full schematic, created simbols for the parts that weren't in the library (such as the IR2011 driver) and I was able to get it to work.
However, since I've never used LTspice to simulate amplifier efficiency, THD and other things you'd like to know prior to putting the idea to reality I'd like to know how to do this. The following things are of interest to me:
- Frequency range, how linear is the amp?
- Efficiency, power in vs. power out ratio
- THD, how about the distortion?
- Carrier frequency, how to find the carrier frequency?
- etc.
These questions may seem trivial to those of you that have used LTspice for a while but remember I'm new to LTspice, I did work with Spice in school, but that's a different beast and a lot of years ago as well.
Any suggestions are most welcome!
