FesZ Electronics | LTspice tutorial - Gas discharge tubes and components @FesZElectronics | Uploaded November 2021 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
#143 In this video I look at the basic behaviors associated with gas discharge tubes and components and of course look at how these can be modeled using LTspice. I specifically try out a voltage regulator gas tube but the same basic principles apply for other things like nixie tubes, fluorescent lighting tubes or even transient protection arrestors.
