 | Aimspice - download a student version from their
site. |
| Anasoft - Schematics entry
integrated with industry standard SPICE 3f5 engine, the demo which can
be downloaded from the website seems to work well. Full version
requires license key to unlock the demo, c. $50, although as Kevin
points out, this is free at the moment and will be for some
time. Your own
symbols and components can be added via the symbol editor. (Modified

| Beige Bag have a neat looking integrated simulator
on their site, with a 30 day fully functional trial version. Lots of models
too... Check it out! |
| Circuit Designer Pro - A very neat integrated
package with PCB autorouter. Demo is functional for 45 days, but will not save or
print. Also contains some vacuum tube models which drop straight on, and an example
of a vacuum tube power amp. [6MB]. |
| Eagle schematics and PCB
layout. This is not a simulator, but a schematic capture and
routing tool which I understand can integrate with SPICE. Includes auto-routing facility, and a large library of components.

edition available for non-commercial use, free of charge with a maximum board size of
100mm x 80mm with two layers. EAGLE runs on Windows® 95, Windows NT®, OS/2® Warp and MS-DOS®, and registered
editions start at $49 which includes telephone tech support. (Added

| Electronic Workbench. Very easy to use
with package scaling for Personal, Student and Pro versions. Uses real world DMM's
and Scopes to provide results of simulations. Integrated PCB placement software now
available too. |
| Intusoft, with their integrated simulator -
Ispice. Another big production with a few restrictions on use. Also host the excellent
MAGDEMO transformer design software, and a host of useful newsletters on SPICE
modelling. |
| LTSpice/SwitcherCAD
III - a nice easy to use simulator which is gaining rapid
acceptance. There's a page on how to use it with the vacuum tube
models here. (Added

| MicroCap 5 - Costs $3,495 although
a student/demo version is available for download [1.75MB]. |
| Orcad, the makes of Pspice integrated schematic
capture, simulation, and PCB routing suite. All of their tools are
available on a CD which is sent free on request - this is a fully
working suite limited to 60 components and some restrictions on the
libraries (altered 13/1/99). |
| SIMetrix
- A UK developed simulator with
schematic capture linked to spice 3.x. You can download an almost fully functional
demo, limited to 120 nodes (8 megs in size). (Updated
05/11/2003). |
| Tina
- "TINA PRO is a powerful yet affordable software package for
designing, simulating, and analyzing analog, digital and mixed
electronic circuits". Demo available for download (Added
22/7/2002). |
| TopSpice by Penzar. "An
affordable integrated computer-aided circuit design software package offering advanced
native mixed-mode mixed-signal analog/digital/behavioral simulation based on the industry
standard SPICE program." More news when I've checked their demo
out (2mb). |
| Winspice3 by Mike
Smith. An excellent port to Windows 95/NT of the traditional SPICE 3f4 engine.
Now enhanced to handle some of the 2g6 specific statements. (Updated
2/1/2003). |
