2. Background / Introduction SPICE =
Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis
Started at UC-Berkeley in late 1960s
An early Open Source program
Led by the emergence of Integrated Circuits
Commercial Versions:
HSPICE by Synopsys
PSPICE by Cadence
3. SPICE Analyses DC Analysis
Transient Analysis
AC Analysis
Noise Analysis
4. PSpice P signifies that it could run on Personal Computers
Released in 1984
Developed by MicroSim which was brought by OrCAD, which was in turn brought by Cadence
5. V. Imp: Two Laws of PSpice First Law
The Ground GND should always be Named 0
Second Law
There should always be a DC Path to Ground 0 from each Node in the Circuit
