-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora EPEL Update Notification FEDORA-EPEL-2009-0999 2009-12-10 03:37:44 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name : ngspice Product : Fedora EPEL 5 Version : 20 Release : 3.el5 URL : http://ngspice.sourceforge.net/ Summary : A mixed level/signal circuit simulator Description : Ngspice is a general-purpose circuit simulator program. It implements three classes of analysis: - Nonlinear DC analyses - Nonlinear Transient analyses - Linear AC analyses

Ngspice implements the usual circuits elements, like resistors, capacitors, inductors (single or mutual), transmission lines and a growing number of semiconductor devices like diodes, bipolar transistors, mosfets (both bulk and SOI), mesfets, jfet and HFET. Ngspice implements the EKV model but it cannot be distributed with the package since its license does not allow to redistribute EKV source code.

Ngspice integrates Xspice, a mixed-mode simulator built upon spice3c1 (and then some tweak is necessary merge it with spice3f5). Xspice provides a codemodel interface and an event-driven simulation algorithm. Users can develop their own models for devices using the codemodel interface.

It could be used for VLSI simulations as well.

Enabling interoperability with ng/tclspice and xcircuit --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This update can be installed with the "yum" update programs. Use su -c 'yum update ngspice' at the command line. For more information, refer to "Managing Software with yum", available at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/.

All packages are signed with the Fedora EPEL GPG key. More details on the GPG keys used by the Fedora Project can be found at https://fedoraproject.org/keys --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
