Debian Electronics Analog design packages

Gnucap is a general purpose circuit simulator. It 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.

This package contains a main executable and gnucap-modelgen.

Gwave is a tool for viewing analog data, such as the output of Spice simulations.

Gwave can read "raw" files from spice2G6, spice3F5 or ngspice, and a tabular ASCII format suitable for use with GnuCAP or homegrown tools. It can also read several binary and ascii files written by commercial spice-type simulators such as hspice, tspice, and nanosim.

It supports multiple "panels" (graticules) with multiple variables displayed in each. Two vertical-bar cursors are available for time-difference measurements. Multiple files can be loaded, for comparing results of several simulations.

Magic is a venerable VLSI layout tool, written in the 1980's at Berkeley by John Ousterhout, now famous primarily for writing the scripting interpreter language Tcl. Due largely in part to its liberal Berkeley open-source license, magic has remained popular with universities and small companies. The open-source license has allowed VLSI engineers with a bent toward programming to implement clever ideas and help magic stay abreast of fabrication technology. However, it is the well thought-out core algorithms which lend to magic the greatest part of its popularity. Magic is widely cited as being the easiest tool to use for circuit layout, even for people who ultimately rely on commercial tools for their product design flow.

NGSpice is a mixed-level/mixed-signal circuit simulator. Its code is based on three open source software packages: Spice3f5, Cider1b1 and Xspice. It supports compiled Verilog-A models through the built-in OSDI interface.

NGSpice is part of gEDA project, a full GPL'd suite of Electronic Design Automation tools.

Simulide is a real time electronic circuit simulator intended for hobbist and student experimentation with simple general purpose electronic circuits and PIC, AVR and Arduino microcontroller simulations.

This package contains Python bindings for the GNU Circuit Analysis Package.
