About NL5 Circuit Simulator
There are plenty of circuit simulators available on the market. Just read their ads: high performance, extremely fast, industry-standard (i.e. SPICE), easy to use, highly intuitive. If you want to see if a tool is worth using, try it yourself. That's what many NL5 users already did. I hope they will share their encouraging stories soon. A few words about what should you expect from NL5. It is not one more SPICE (and not even close), nor is it a SPICE replacement. For some tasks NL5 is far superior, for others simply good, and some tasks are not for NL5 at all.

CircuitLogix
It gives you the flexibility to design and test electronic circuits, trying all the "what if" scenarios without ever worrying about faulty parts or bad connections. CircuitLogix supports analog, digital and mixed-signal circuits, and its proven SPICE simulation gives accurate real-world results you can trust. 3DLab is included with both versions of CircuitLogix and is a "virtual reality"-type of lab environment and is designed to closely replicate the appearance and functionality of actual devices and instruments. There are approximately 30 different devices and instruments available in 3DLab, including batteries, switches, meters, lamps, resistors, inductors, capacitors, fuses, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers and frequency counters.

TopSpice
TopSpice is a true analog/digital/behavioral mixed-mode circuit simulator for the PC. It offers the most advanced SPICE simulator in its price range, compatibility, an easy to use integrated design environment from schematic capture to graphical waveform analysis, and full 64-bit operation for faster performance and larger memory space. With TopSpice you have the choice to design from schematic drawings, text netlist (SPICE) files, or both. All design and simulation functions are available from either the schematic or netlist editor front-ends. TopSpice includes a native full-featured mixed-mode mixed-signal circuit simulator capable of simulating circuits containing any arbitrary combination of analog devices, digital functions and high-level behavioral blocks. With TopSpice you can verify and optimize your design from the system to the transistor level.
