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.
When more accuracy is desired in modelling the diode's turn-on characteristic, the model can be enhanced by doubling-up the standard PWL-model. This model uses two piecewise-linear diodes in parallel, as a way to model a single diode more accurately. PWL Diode model with 2 branches. The top branch has a lower forward-voltage and a higher ...
Any nonlinear component whose characteristics are given by a continuous, single-valued, smooth (differentiable) curve can be approximated by a linear small-signal model. Small-signal models exist for electron tubes, diodes, field-effect transistors (FET) and bipolar transistors, notably the hybrid-pi model and various two-port networks ...
Spectre is a SPICE-class circuit simulator owned and distributed by the software company Cadence Design Systems.It provides the basic SPICE analyses and component models. It also supports the Verilog-A modeling langua
For example, elements can use real or integer values to simulate DSP functions or sampled data filters. Because the event-driven algorithm is faster than the standard SPICE matrix solution, simulation time is greatly reduced for circuits that use event-driven models in place of analog models. [5]
SmartSpice is a commercial version of SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis) developed by Silvaco.SmartSpice is used to design complex analog circuits, analyze critical nets, characterize cell libraries, and verify analog mixed-signal designs.
Semiconductor device modeling creates models for the behavior of semiconductor devices based on fundamental physics, such as the doping profiles of the devices. It may also include the creation of compact models (such as the well known SPICE transistor models), which try to capture the electrical behavior of such devices but do not generally ...
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.
