SPICE Model Downloads in Library Tools

A SPICE circuit being modeled for biasing.

PCB design relies on accurate computer models of manufactured components. Since electronic designers need a wide variety of components to design their own devices, component libraries have become an indispensable part of modern CAD.

SPICE Model Library for Easy Integration and Simulation

A SPICE model library is a general-purpose library for the simulation of electronic circuits. The original implementation of SPICE (“Simulation Program with Integration Circuit Emphasis”) was developed by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1973. This implementation was actively developed and refined for 20 years as one of the first open-source technical programs. […]

Your Component Footprint Library to Find Future Footprints

Stencil from a component footprint library

Your component footprint library gets used to generate this type of stencil before manufacturing. Every new piece of electronic equipment starts as a block diagram, and turning your block diagram into a new board takes a complete set of PCB footprints. Your manufacturer will need a set of documentation to put your new board into […]

Electric Circuit Model Download: Schematics and SPICE Simulation

Each of these components needs a SPICE model if you need to perform simulations. I can’t count the number of times I’ve downloaded component data through my CAD software, only to find there was no SPICE subcircuit model attached to the component data. Circuit simulations from your schematics are a great way to verify your […]
