Introduction to SPICE
Tool
• SPICE ("Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis") is a general-purpose, open-
source electronic circuit simulator.
• It is a program used in integrated circuit and board-level design to check the integrity of
circuit designs and to predict circuit behavior.
• Ngspice is a mixed-level/mixed-signal electronic circuit simulator. It is a successor of the
latest stable release of Berkeley SPICE, version 3.5, which was released in 1993.
• A small group of maintainers and the user community contribute to the ngspice project by
providing new features, enhancements and bug fixes.
