SPICE

SPICE is a general-purpose circuit simulation program for nonlinear dc, nonlinear transient, and linear ac analyses.

Circuits may contain:

• resistors, capacitors, inductors, mutual inductors
• independent voltage and current sources
• four types of dependent sources
• lossless and lossy transmission lines (two separate implementations)
• switches
• uniform distributed RC lines
• and the five most common semiconductor devices: diodes, BJTs, JFETs, MESFETs, and MOSFETs.

SPICE originates from the EECS Department of the University of California at Berkeley.
