Features
-
most
Spice concepts are represented visually in the schematic
-
use
a wizard to set Spice simulation defaults to match your circuit
-
define,
name and save unlimited numbers of analyses, each with a
corresponding graph
-
indexed
library of Spice models and subcircuits - easily add manufacturer's
files of models and subcircuits or your own. Accepts Spice3
subcircuit syntax plus significant
compatibility with PSpice® subcircuit syntax
(as used by Analog Devices, Linear Technology and TI). Not compatible
with PSpice digital models.
-
the
opamp and generic subcircuit schematic symbols adjust the number of
pins to match the number of nodes in the subcircuit. users can enter
names for the pins which are then saved in the library.
-
temperature
or component values can be swept and results plotted in a single
graph. an included opamp model allows opamp GBW to be swept.
-
no
need to keep track of circuit node numbers when graphing
-
support
for analysis of alternative designs
-
much
of Spice's traditional quirkiness is hidden from the user
-
program's
Help tells how to perform tasks, written by a Spice user
-
behavioral
modeling: schematic symbol with user defined equation (equation may
contain IF-THEN-ELSE structures, math functions, etc.)
-
program's
self-documentation capability allows designers to rapidly return to
their work after months off
Features
when you register the program
-
adds
larger schematic sizes (standard A,B,C drawing sizes). drawing size
in the unregistered program is about half of A size.
-
program
licensed for use in business and government.
the unregistered program allows this use only for a 30 day
evaluation period.
-
remove
promotional text in schematic found in unregistered program, add
user's company information to title box.
-
Noise,
AC and DC Sensitivity analysis - view results
-
FFT
and large signal harmonic Distortion analysis (Fourier Transform
based) - view results
-
pass
parameter values from schematic symbol to its subcircuit
-
save
schematics containing logic gates, flip flops, one-shot
-
save
schematics containing Transformer with saturating core
-
export
tabular data from graph/table to file for import into another program
-
priority
in obtaining support and more support options
Philosophy
As
shareware, 5Spice depends on feedback from its users for bug
detection and product improvement ideas. And to pass the word. Watch
the site for updated versions. Program written by an electrical
engineer - see Design Consulting page.
Platform
Windows
2000, XP or Vista running on a Windows compatible computer. Should
run in Windows on Macintosh computers that have an Intel processor
but we do not support this environment. Pentium class processor or
equivalent. 256 colors or higher. 800x600 or higher screen resolution
recommended. Simulation speed proportional to processor speed.
Program does not work in countries where Windows displays a negative
number as (12) or as 12-
