Discussion Overview
The discussion focuses on adding voltage noise in LTspice using the white() function and analyzing its response through .noise analysis. Participants explore the implications of the white() function parameter and the limitations of .noise analysis in capturing deliberately introduced noise.
Discussion Character
- Technical explanation
- Debate/contested
Main Points Raised
- One participant inquires about the meaning of the parameter in the white(x) function and its effect on noise analysis.
- Another participant suggests that .noise analysis may only consider inherent noise types like Johnson, shot, and flicker noise, potentially excluding noise introduced by a source.
- A later reply mentions that .noise analysis does account for noise due to the series resistance of a voltage source.
- Participants express a reluctance to engage with external groups for further clarification, preferring the forum format.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants do not reach a consensus on the behavior of the white() function or the limitations of .noise analysis regarding introduced noise. Multiple views on the topic remain present.
Contextual Notes
There is uncertainty regarding the specific effects of the parameter in the white() function and the scope of .noise analysis in LTspice, particularly concerning the inclusion of user-defined noise sources.
