LTspice simulation of the K2-W Vacuum Tube Op Amp’s design reveals the mad science that created a commercial revolution in 1950s and 1960s analog computing. The K2-W's first-stage differencing ...
After a brief review of the history of the K2-W vacuum-tube op amp, an LTspice model is used to create its schematic in preparation for SPICE simulation. The availability of hierarchical blocks for ...
In Part 2 we related the impact on signal quality to some possible real-world basic signal and shield grounding choices (both the good and the bad). But, even in that brief discussion, it is clear ...
