License: Unknown Price: Free URL: http://www.linear.com/ company/ software.jsp OSs: Windows ReviewText: Their site notes: "Included in this download are Spice, Macro Models for 80% of Linear Technology's switching regulators, over 200 op amp models, as well as resistors, transistors and MOSFET models." We downloaded the software for a spin. It took less than two minutes from clicking the download button to simulating a sample circuit provided by LT.

| 5Spice | Spice Simulator |
Description: This commercial product can be used free for non-commercial use. The 5Spice website describes itself as follows: "5Spice is a new graphical user interface that wraps around a traditional Spice simulation engine, presenting a single application to the user. It offers easy to use analog circuit simulation for the typical circuit designer. 5Spice provides Spice specific schematic entry, the ability to define and save an unlimited number of analyses, integrated graphing of simulation results plus easy inclusion of Spice/PSpice subcircuits from a user expandable library. The program's self-documentation capability allows designers to rapidly return to their work after months off. 5Spice provides the analysis capabilities needed by experienced circuit designers while remaining easy to use - a big step up from student oriented Spice programs. The focus is on analog circuit analysis and circuit design at the component level. Student level MOSFET IC design is also supported but not compatible with HSpice model libraries."

License: Open Source, GNU or similar Price: free URL: http://tinycad.sourceforge.net/ index.html OSs: Windows, Source Available Limitations: Obviously not in the same class as the commercial tools, but we weren't expecting that. ReviewText: We spent just a few minutes taking TinyCAD for a test spin. It installs in less than a minute, and comes with a fairly large library of pre-built schematic symbols. It can generate schematics for PCB layout or Spice. There are only a few options to configure the display, although you can set the grid, snap options, etc. Includes some simple design checking ability (duplicate references, unconnected nets, etc) . It took us a couple of minutes to figure out how to use a few of the editing features, but we expect you can master the tool in 10 or 15 minutes.

ReviewText: We don't often take the time to add commercial tools to our database, but the EAGLE tool seems to show up in postings again and again, so we thought you may be interested. The CADSoft site also includes a list of companies that can produce your PCB for you. |
