Hello, once again I need help.
I am trying to simulate a little circuit that I recently build up. It's a little virtual ground circuit that splits a DC voltage into a negative and positive voltage.
In my example I want to split 12V into ±6V, but for some reason it doesn't work and splits the supply into something totally unexpected (see pictures).
I could swear that I wired up the same circuit on my pc at work during lunch break a few days ago and that it worked the way it should work (±6V, and not +10,5V and -1.4V).
What am I doing wrong here? How can I trust LTspice at all if even relatively trivial circuits like this one already fail to simulate correctly? Have I fallen in "a trap for young players"?
I feel like I've come about errors like this quite some times now, and I never know how to fix them. It's not inducing a lot of confidence for me in LTspice, that's for sure.
No idea what's wrong here really. Bad combination of selected component models? Corrupted LTspice installation?
What's the right approach to avoid stuff like this. I know the circuit works, since I wired it up IRL already, but I want to be able to simulate circuits like that too, that's why I am asking.
I find this really frustrating ...
Any advise?
Florian
