Oct 04, 2019 The Mac version contains only three icons in the tool bar versus a multitude of icons for the Windows version. Instead of primarily using toolbar based commands, LTspice for Mac focuses on the use of contextual menus for its commands.
- LTspice ® is a high performance SPICE simulation software, schematic capture and waveform viewer with enhancements and models for easing the simulation of analog circuits. Included in the download of LTspice are macromodels for a majority of Analog Devices switching regulators, amplifiers, as well as a library of devices for general circuit simulation.
- LTspice IV: Adding Third-Party Models. LTspice IV 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.
- Aug 16, 2017 How to import.lib into ltspice? Embedded & Programming. Programming & Languages. I'm trying to add a.lib to my LTspice in mac os x so I can analyze a nmos circuit. If the library does not contain a digital element in the syntax of Pspice, there is no problem. In this case, you can use the automatic creation of an element.
- Approach since the Mac version of LTspice is not user friendly and some features are even missing. Step 1: Install WineBottler This is a software used to run some windows softwares on Mac without having a windows license, which is required when using a virtual machine. It will be used here to run LTspice on Mac OSX. Go to the link below.
This is a brief colleciton of LTspice files collected from various online sources such as Yahoo groups that are slowly dieing, therefore I uploaded all its contents here so it doesn't get lost in void of internet.
All rights are reserved to their respective owners and authors of these files whom are unknown to me and I hope this repository won't cause any problems.If your library is included in this repository feel free to contact me at [email protected] and I will remove it upon request.
Installing the LTspice software
Ltspice Digital Library

First of all you need to have LTspice installed on your computer using Windows or MacOS operating system.
Download links for the software:

Cheatsheets and 'Getting Started Guide' for LTSpice can be downloaded from following links:
Installing the LTSpice libraries on Microsoft Windows operating system
Locating the library directory
In case of Windows installation of LTspice XVII; usually the library directory is located inside of LTspice folder in 'My Documents' directory.After opening the LTspice folder you will have to open 'lib' folder.
This directory represents the library location composed of 'cmp', 'sub' and 'sym' folders.
*'sub' folder represents the location of subcircuit files.
*'sym' folder represents the locaiton of symbol files.
This directory represents the library location composed of 'cmp', 'sub' and 'sym' folders.
*'sub' folder represents the location of subcircuit files.
*'sym' folder represents the locaiton of symbol files.
These are the folders in which you will have to transfer the library files you are interested in.
.lib and .sub files are supposed to be copied in 'sub' folder, .asy files are supposed to be copied in 'sym' folder.

Locating the library directory
In case of MacOS installation of LTSpice IV; usually the library directory is located inside of 'LTspice.app' App folder in 'Applications' directory.
You may open the LTspice.app via Finder right clicking the icon and selecting 'Show Package Contents'.
After opening the .app you will have to go to the following directory:

Including the library in your simulation
Inclusion of libraries in simulation is done according to the SPICE3 synthax.
When drawing the schematic for the simulation you have to right click on the drawing and then select Draft -> SPICE directive.
Shortcut for this is just pressing the S key on your keyboard.
Under 'How to netlist this text select 'SPICE directive' and write the following:
