5Spice Analysis

5Spice Analysis is a professional software application whose purpose is to help you create and simulate analog circuits. Subcircuits, coupled inductors, nonlinear functions, initial conditions and node voltages are represented visually in the schematic.

The program reveals a user-friendly layout that does not overwhelm you with tons of configuration settings. You can zoom in or out of the design and make use of the drag-and-drop support in order to move components to the desired place in the schematic.

A help manual is included in the package in case you want to find out more details about the tool’s capabilities.

5Spice Analysis offers support for several preset elements that you can use for drawing the schematic, such as battery, capacitor, constant current source, controlled source, diode, inductor, ground symbol, junctions, logic gates, potentiometer, resistor, signal source, transistor, lines, and wires.

What’s more, you are allowed to edit objects (e.g. cut, copy, paste, delete, flip, rotate) and set the schematic size. A built-in wizard helps you set Spice’s default simulation parameters (GMIN, PIVTOL, ABSTOL, VNTOL, CHGTOL) based on the maximum and minimum electrical values in your circuit and subcircuits.

5Spice Analysis lets you set up multiple analyses (DC bias, DC, AC, Transient, Noise, Distortion) with specific parameters that define the simulation, associated graphs or tables, list of voltage and current signal sources that are active during the analysis, as well as test points.

The tool lets you configure as many analyses as you want and save all settings to project files, which can be later imported for adjustments. Graph and table data can be exported to plain text file format.

Last but not least, you can make the app show graph plots at the end of the simulation, pass parameters from schematic symbol to subcircuit, check models that match specific schematic symbols, as well as add manufacturer’s files of models and subcircuits.

All in all, 5Spice Analysis mixes up a user-friendly environment with several professional features for helping you create different electric circuits and run analyses.
