What is DSPICE?
DSpice (Designing Circuits and Simulation by SPICE) is an open-source tool designed to streamline the modeling of analog components and the simulation of electronic circuits. It leverages ngspice (the open-source successor to the classic SPICE engine) as its core simulation backend. The main objectives and features of DSpice are:
. Custom Modeling: Creating new SPICE models for various electrical components.
. Symbol Design: Designing and managing custom schematic symbols for these models.
. Schematic Capture: Drawing and designing circuits using an intuitive CAD-style schematic editor.
. Circuit Simulation: Executing simulations (OP/Tran) seamlessly using ngspice.
. Waveform Visualization: Analyzing and presenting simulation results through a dedicated waveform viewer and Prob.
. Licensed under: DSPICE is free to use "MIT";
. Open source;
