List of free analog and digital electronic circuit simulators, available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and comparing against UC Berkeley SPICE. The following table is split into two groups based on whether it has a graphical visual interface or not.
Step 2 . Use the BCEs in terms of the node voltages of the circuit to eliminate as many branch currents as possible. Writing the BCEs in terms of the node voltages saves one step. If the BCEs were written in terms of the branch voltages, one more step, i.e., replacing the branches voltages for the node ones, would be necessary.
Simulation-based methods for time-based network analysis solve a circuit that is posed as an initial value problem (IVP). That is, the values of the components with memories (for example, the voltages on capacitors and currents through inductors) are given at an initial point of time t 0 , and the analysis is done for the time t 0 ≤ t ≤ t f ...
Kirchhoff's current law is the basis of nodal analysis. In electric circuits analysis, nodal analysis, node-voltage analysis, or the branch current method is a method of determining the voltage (potential difference) between "nodes" (points where elements or branches connect) in an electrical circuit in terms of the branch currents.
Process variations occur when the design is fabricated and circuit simulators often do not take these variations into account. These variations can be small, but taken together, they can change the output of a chip significantly. Temperature variation can also be modeled to simulate the circuit's performance through temperature ranges. [8]
LTspice is a SPICE-based analog electronic circuit simulator computer software, produced by semiconductor manufacturer Analog Devices (originally by Linear Technology). [2] It is the most widely distributed and used SPICE software in the industry. [6]
Ansys HFSS (high-frequency structure simulator) is a commercial finite element method solver for electromagnetic (EM) structures from Ansys. [ 1 ] Engineers use Ansys HFSS primarily to design and simulate high-speed, high-frequency electronics in radar systems, communication systems, satellites, ADAS, microchips, printed circuit boards, IoT ...
It offers the ability to set up a circuit with a graphical user interface and simulate the large-signal, small-signal and noise behaviour of the circuit. Originally, Qucs was composed of a circuit simulator "qucs-core", now Qucsator, and a GUI for schematic entry and plotting. The usage patterns, as well as the emphasis on RF design, were ...
