Free programs like pspice

This is a great opportunity to drive some serious software that is widely used in the industry. The only thing that bummed us out? It runs under Windows. Still, the price is right and it is a great piece of software.

Of course, LTSpice is quite capable, too. Micro-Cap 12 is free and it has no restrictions, no registration, and no approval needed. QUCS fan here. Free, open, no fake limits. Why virtualize Linux? But adding Windows is usually causes me headaches. Took me all of 10 clicks or so to virtualize Windows 10 on Linux. I boot it times a year to submit my taxes, and thats about it. Ew, no. C and its derivatives were supposed to be platform-agnostic.

Or one can download the source and compile it under Windows. One person even succeeded, with help from devs…. Java is cross-platform. Python is too. There was a game engine written in Java, with two games that were quite good: Chrome and Xpand Rally. Also Minecraft runs on Java. And it runs better on Linux. As for Python, I find it overused and slow in comparison to Java…. Electromechanical Simulation with PSpice. PSpice Featured Highlights.

Feature 1 Content Accuracy. Content Extensive Library. Feature 3 Content User Community. Content Design and System Level Integration. Most manufacturers make their S-Params or Spice models available as simple text files. By digital circuits i mean registers,multiplexers and others. Thanks for the reminder on the ALT key to calculate the power plot!

It is also helpful to know that once you get the power plot as you show in your article that holding the CTRL key while clicking on the name of the power dataset in the graph window usually named with a long equation , you can get average power consumption over the time interval that you are currently zoomed to! OK, so I just tried it. After struggling getting what I thought was a fairly simple circuit to work I decided to strip it down to something trivial.

I start with a simple NPN switch and that works fine. Am I missing something here? LTSpice will easily accept other spice models as Subcircuits. You need to do your home work before public commenting. Alan Bate Electronics Perhaps you should learn to read dates and do your own homework before you go around accusing other people of not doing their homework. This article is 8 years old. All of the documentation for LTSpice that talks about adding third-party models is roughly 6 years old. Then when you were ready to use DXYZ in your schematic, you just match the component type Diode, Transistor, etc and then name it the same as your text file.

You will be able to find the problems to prevent any surprises when a circuit is in real life conditions and operations. This is a great way to test your designs, and make improvements to get the best performance. Is it reliable and secure? Is it better than other similar ones? Does it offer many features?
