Simulation Program of Integrated Circuit

Since its introduction in 1971, SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis) has become the most popular analog simulation tool in use today. In the last 15 years, we have seen explosive growth in the use of SPICE, with the addition of Berkeley SPICE 3 enhancements, and support for C code model and mixed-mode simulation using XSPICE (Cox et al. 1992, Kielkowski 1994).We have also seen many new companies emerge as developers of SPICE-based simulation tools, most of which are currently available for the PC platform.
