FOSS Circuit Simulators

AN OPEN-SOURCE, FREE CIRCUIT SIMULATOR
by: Bryan Cockfield on July 30, 2023

The original circuit simulation software, called the Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis, or SPICE as it is more commonly known, was originally developed at the University of Califorina Berkeley in the 1970s with an open-source license. That’s the reason for the vast versions of SPICE available now decades after the original was released, not all of which are as open or free as we might like [1].

Fig: The Quite Universal Circuit Simulator includes a GUI based on the Qt toolkit and handles ad and ac analysis, S-parameters, harmonic balance analysis, noise analysis, and so forth. 

We’ve [2] listed all the simulators we found - the good, the bad, and the ugly - that actually did perform circuit simulation in some fashion. They are provided alphabetically, along with the most notable benefits and drawbacks we uncovered.

Anstract: The electron fluid model in plasmonic field effect transistor (FET) operation is related to the behavior of a radio-frequency (RF) cavity. This new understanding led to finding the relationships between physical device parameters and equivalent circuit components in traditional parallel resistor, inductor, and capacitor (RLC) and transmission models for cavity structures. Verification of these models is performed using PSpice to simulate the frequency dependent.

Abstract: This work highlights the utilization of the floating body effect and charge-trapping/de-trapping phenomenon of a Silicon-nanowire (Si-nanowire) charge-trapping memory for an artificial synapse of neuromorphic computing application. Charge trapping/de-trapping in the nitride layer characterizes the long-term potentiation (LTP)/depression (LTD). The accumulation of holes in the potential well achieves short-term potentiation (STP) and controls the transition from STP to LTP. Also, the transition from STP to LTP is analyzed through gate length scaling and high-κ material (Al2O3) for blocking oxide. Furthermore, the conductance values of the device are utilized for system-level simulation. System-level hardware parameters of a convolutional neural network (CNN) for inference applications are evaluated and compared to a static random-access memory (SRAM) device and charge-trapping memory. The results confirm that the Si-nanowire transistor with better gate controllability has a high retention time for LTP states, consumes low power, and archives better accuracy (91.27%). These results make the device suitable for low-power neuromorphic applications.
