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.
BSIM (Berkeley Short-channel IGFET Model) [1] refers to a family of MOSFET transistor models for integrated circuit design. It also refers to the BSIM group located in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS) at the University of California, Berkeley, that develops these models.
SPICE [5] is the origin of most modern electronic circuit simulators, its successors are widely used in the electronics community. Xspice [6] is an extension to Spice3 that provides additional C language code models to support analog behavioral modeling and co-simulation of digital components through a fast event-driven algorithm.
SPICE OPUS is a free general purpose electronic circuit simulator, developed and maintained by members of EDA Group, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. [1] It is based on original Berkeley’s SPICE analog circuit
BSIM4, [6] a more modern MOSFET model, also from UC Berkeley. PSP, [7] [8] another MOSFET model. PSP originally stood for Penn State-Philips, but one author moved to ASU, and Philips spun off their semiconductor group as NXP Semiconductors. PSP is now developed and supported at CEA-Leti. BSIMSOI, [9] a model for silicon on insulator MOSFETs.
The text that describes intrinsic SPICE models can be placed directly on an LTspice schematic by using the spice directive .op button. [18] The advantage of this method is the 3rd party model is self-contained as part of the schematic when you distribute the schematic file.
You are free: to share – to copy, distribute and transmit the work; to remix – to adapt the work; Under the following conditions: attribution – You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.
The Gummel–Poon model and modern variants of it are widely used in popular circuit simulators such as SPICE. A significant effect that the Gummel–Poon model accounts for is the variation of the transistor β F {\displaystyle \beta _{\text{F}}} and β R {\displaystyle \beta _{\text{R}}} values with the direct current level.
