A mutual inductance in SPICE is defined by specifying the coupling coefficient K between the two inductors. The syntax is as follows:
The SPICE statements to define the above coupled coils are as follows.
The syntax for a mutual inductance is as follows:
Remarks:
- Kname Inductor1 Inductor2 value_of_K
The SPICE statements to define the above coupled coils are as follows.
L1 3 5 10M- L2 4 7 3M
- K L1 L2 0.81
The syntax for a mutual inductance is as follows:
- Kname Inductor1 Inductor2 value_of_K
- (K=M/sqrt(L1xL2)=0.693)
- Vin 1 0 sin(0 5 159.15 0 0)
- Rs 1 3 100
- Rl 4 0 500
- L1 3 0 10M
- L2 4 0 2M
- K L1 L2 0.693
- .TRAN 0.1M 10M
- .PRINT TRAN V(3) V(4)
- .PLOT TRAN V(3) V(4)
- .END
Remarks:
- SPICE always needs a reference node numbered 0. One can never leave any node floating. For that reason we have connected the two coils together to node 0 (or put a large resistor between it). As there is no current flowing through this section, the circuit will not change by connecting these nodes.
- SPICE does not allow to connect a voltage source in parallel with an inductor, as it thinks that the voltage source is short circuited. You can place a small resistor (ex. 0.001 Ohm) in series with the voltage source to overcome this problem.
