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.
NI Multisim (formerly MultiSIM) is an electronic schematic capture and simulation program which is part of a suite of circuit design programs, [1] along with NI Ultiboard. Multisim is one of the few circuit design programs to employ the original Berkeley SPICE based software simulation. [ 2 ]
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]
EDA software assists the designer in every step of the design process and every design step is accompanied by heavy test phases. Errors may be present in the high-level code already, such as for the Pentium FDIV floating-point unit bug , or it can be inserted all the way down to physical synthesis, such as a missing wire, or a timing violation .
FSDB – Analog waveform format (see also Waveform viewer) GDSII – Format for PCB and layout of integrated circuits; HEX – ASCII-coded binary format for memory dumps; LEF – Library Exchange Format, physical abstract of cells for IC design; Liberty (EDA) – Library modeling (function, timing) format; MS12 – NI Multisim file
Electronic design automation (EDA), also referred to as electronic computer-aided design (ECAD), [1] is a category of software tools for designing electronic systems such as integrated circuits and printed circuit boards. The tools work together in a design flow that chip designers use to design and analyze entire semiconductor chips.
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]
TINA software is available in installable and cloud-based versions. Feature versions exist for use in industry [6] and for educational use. [2] [7] TINA allows simulation, design, and real-time testing of hardware description language (HDL), such as VHDL, VHDL-AMS, Verilog, Verilog-A, Verilog-AMS, SystemVerilog and SystemC and for microcontroller (MCU) circuits, [2] as well as mixed electronic ...
