Introduction to ngspice

Ngspice is a mixed-level/mixed-signal circuit simulator based on three open source software packages: Spice3f5, Cider1b1 and Xspice.

Homepage: http://ngspice.sourceforge.net

Dependencies

Required

• X Window System

Configuration Information

--enable-sense2: Use spice2 sensitivity analysis.

--enable-intnoise: Enable noise integration in noise analysis.

--enable-smoketest: Enable "smoketest" compile.

--enable-xgraph: Enable xgraph compilation.
