How Interested Are You In Learning More About Circuit Simulation?

rscasny
rscasny over 2 years ago

Over the last two years we have been approached by different vendors who have circuit simulators of introducing the element14 community to them. Another vendor recently approached us, so I thought I would get a conversation going to gauge your interest and discover what you might like to do with circuit simulators.

There are plenty of simulators on the market today. Some are well known, others are not. For those of you who may not be familiar with circuit simulators, they are software that emulates the behavior of a real hardware circuit before it is built. The circuit simulator can be used to verify a hardware design.

I'd prefer not to just say here is the simulator and here's the specs and what it can do. I'd rather have community members get the opportunity to play around with it and report to the community what they discovered. 

I know this is a big area and I expect in the future these simulators will become very sophisticated and part of every electronic engineer's toolbox. For now (and for planning purposes), I'd like some feedback on these polls.

Thank you for taking the time to vote.

    The benefits of Spice simulations! The image below(it is from a ppt presentation I created a while back for some radio talk) shows (in this example using Multisim) a simulation of an entire SDR receiver…

    at my institute we are making digital twins of crops, in that sense a digital twin of an electronic circuit should be easy.

    I would like to see a design challenge, to simulate an idea and then build it as a real circuit to prove that the difference between simulation and reality is just the same in simulation and reality.

    I'm old school as well - I usually calculate what I need to know. I have used simulation software (usually specialized simulators), especially for complex switching power supplies. But for something like a power supply, I'm usually not trying to invent a novel circuit, and in fact will most often use an off-the-shelf or known-good solution.
