GnuCap is a general purpose circuit simulator. GnuCap was
|
|
formerly known as ACS. GnuCap performs nonlinear
|
|
dc and transient analyses, fourier analysis, and ac analysis
|
|
linearized at an operating point. It is fully interactive and
|
|
command driven. It can also be run in batch mode or as a server.
|
|
The output is produced as it simulates. Spice compatible models
|
|
for the MOSFET (level 1-7) and diode are included in this
|
|
release.
|
|
|
|
Since it is fully interactive, it is possible to make changes and
|
|
re-simulate quickly. The interactive design makes it well suited
|
|
to the typical iterative design process used it optimizing a circuit
|
|
design.
|
|
|
|
Unlike Spice, the engine is designed to do true mixed-mode
|
|
simulation. Most of the code is in place for future support of
|
|
event driven analog simulation, and true multi-rate simulation.
|
|
|
|
If you are tired of Spice and want a second opinion, you want to
|
|
play with the circuit and want a simulator that is interactive,
|
|
you want to study the source code and want something easier to
|
|
follow than Spice, or you are a researcher working on modeling
|
|
and want automated model generation tools to make your job easier,
|
|
try GnuCap.
