Computer-aided design of electrical and electronic circuits is indispensable to modern industry. Simulating a circuit leads to quickly obtaining a global picture of its operation, solutions to improve performance can be found and make changes easily.
SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis) is a high-performance simulator widely used in analog and digital analysis. This program was developed in the Electronic Research Laboratory of the University of California, Berkeley, and was first presented to the public in 1973.
