Circuit Simulation

Most programs that simulate electronic circuits use a set of algorithms that describe the behavior of electronic components. The most commonly used algorithm was developed at the Berkeley Institute in the United States and it is known as SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis).

Results of circuit analysis can be displayed in various ways, including displays that simulate those of real test instruments (these are sometimes referred to as virtual instruments ). A further benefi t of using electronic circuit simulation software is that, when a circuit design has been fi nalized, it is usually possible to export a fi le from the
