The quite universal circuit simulator (QUCS) is also a freeware and it is very fast to setup simulation and start crunching those numbers. As #5 does, they offer a large variety of free circuit descriptions to be downloaded from their home page. If I get some time, I will evaluate the tool more (I just need a windows machine … or at least try over wine). It supports AC, Transient, DC analysis, some Fourier analyses and a couple of steady-state analyses. However, it is for windows only and they do not provide the whole TINA-TI package for free. I continue the list with a tool I have never used … and once again I might not do TI (Texas Instruments) justice by putting their Spice simulator for windows last. I have only done some rudimentary trials with pycircuit. I just want you to get some flavour on what’s going on out there… and the rest of the list is probably more known to you. It has an embryo for a gnucap (see #7) interface, i.e., it can read a gnucap netlist and run the simulations on it. The package allows symbolic analysis and it covers the AC, DC, transient analyses as well as say PSS and PAC.

P圜ircuit is a package available from a git repository and it has been partly developed by a friend of mine, Joacim Frisk. I am starting off with a fairly recent contribution to the world of simulators. Yet again, I will most likely also misuse the names on the tools from the different vendors, and will use the “common name” for it… Once again, these are my personal views and I am quite happy to receive some feedback. Hmm, what to do a Friday evening, maybe composing a top ten list with the top ten circuit-level simulators?!? Yeah! As for the layout tools I have tried quite a few of them and want to order them according to my liking.
