LTspice: Vary a resistor's value over time
I want to simulate the load regulation of a power-supply. I'm sure I remember being able to vary the value of a resistor over the course of a simulation in LTspice, but I can't remember how. Anyone?

How to use .step param with more than two parameters in LTSpiceIV
I need to do three transient simulations with different values of certain resistors (conveniently called R1 and R2) in each. What I mean to do exactly is this:
Sim. 1: R1 = 1 k\$\Omega\$, R2 = 10 k\$\...

LTspice fails at a simple two-resistor voltage divider. How can I fix it?
During some simulations, I noticed some oddities and narrowed it down to the following problem:
This is is simple voltage divider using two resistors. The four traces show:
supply voltage
current ...

How to plot "voltage drop" across a specific component in LTSpice?
In the above circuit I can only be able to plot |Vr1+Vc1| = V1 in green plot and Vc1 in blue plot. I use the voltage probe in LTSpice and click on the lines to obtain the plots. If I click on the line ...

Why is my simple boost converter giving me such a high peak output voltage?
I am trying to understand switch-mode power supply fundamentals through a simulation in LTSpice.
I wanted to build an excruciatingly simple boost converter circuit following a teaching model often ...
