README for NGSPICE
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Ngspice is a mixed-level/mixed-signal circuit simulator. Its code
|
|
is based on three open source software packages: Spice3f5, Cider1b1
|
|
and Xspice.
|
|
|
|
Spice3 does not need any introduction, is the most popular circuit
|
|
simulator. In over 30 years of its life Spice3 has become a de-facto
|
|
standard for simulating circuits.
|
|
|
|
Cider couples Spice3f5 circuit level simulator to DSIM device simulator
|
|
to provide greater simulation accuracy of critical devices. DSIM
|
|
devices are described in terms of their structures and materials.
|
|
|
|
Xspice is an extension to Spice3C1 that provides code modeling support
|
|
and simulation of digital components through an embedded event driven
|
|
algorithm.
|
|
|
|
Ngspice is, anyway, a little more than the simple sum of the packages
|
|
above, as many people contributed to the project with their experience,
|
|
their bug fixes and their improvements. If you are interested, browse
|
|
the site and discover what ngspice offers and what needs. If you think
|
|
you can help, join the development team.
|
|
|
|
Ngspice is an ongoing project, growing everyday from users contributions,
|
|
suggestions and reports. What we will be able to do depends mostly on
|
|
user interests, contributions and feedback.
|
|
|
|
Ngspice is part of the gEDA project.
