Sources of SPICE for PC

This site is under construction.

Where possible, UK/European sites are listed.  Please note that certain versions are available from the US/Canada only; the download may be long and slow.  We are looking into the possibility of maintaining a local archive.

Micro-Cap V

NB not tried so far in CUED.

Gilbert Circuit and Analysis

Micro-Cap V is an integrated schematic editor and analog/digital simulator that provides an interactive sketch and simulate environment for electronics engineers. Micro-Cap V, the fifth generation of the Micro-Cap family, blends a modern, Windows-based user interface with the robust and powerful numerical algorithms of SPICE and a fast, native, PSpice-compatible, digital simulator. The result is the most powerful and easiest to use circuit simulator available for personal computers. Micro-Cap V is affordable as well, available at less than half the cost of comparable programs.

Windows 3.1, Windows NT, or Windows 95 working-DEMO 1.4MB

The demo is contained in a .ZIP file. PKUNZIP this file, and then run the SETUP.EXE file under Windows 3.1, Windows NT, or Windows 95. During the installation, it will request a Disk 2. When this prompt comes up, just hit Enter. If you want to transfer the unzipped files over to floppy disks, all of the files go on Disk 1 except for the file MC5.2 which goes on Disk 2.

You can get more information from: http://www.spectrum-soft.com/demo.html

Spice TR3e2bl

Spice TR3e2bl is a 32-bit PC(386/486) shareware version of SPICE 3e2. Spice TR3e2 may be run in either interactive or batch mode, and is intended for anyone who may want learn how to use Spice interactively.

To keep the executable files small enough, only OP, AC, DC, transient, and fourier analysis are supported in Spice 3e2bl. Also, only the following device models are supported: resistors, capacitors, inductors, coupled inductors, linear sources, arbitrary non-linear sources, diodes, bipolar junction transistors, junction FETs, lossless transmission lines, lossy transmission lines, and voltage controlled switches.

You can ftp spctr3e2.zip from the following mirrors:

Linux - for those who wish to experiment

These files (available by FTP from the archive at Imperial College) need to be compiled and linked etc before use.  We cannot offer any help with this!
