SPICE DEMOS AND DOWNLOADS

There are many versions of SPICE available today. Depending on the capabilities and interfaces, you can get student, standard and professional packages ranging in price from less than $100 to several thousands of dollars.

A number of companies offer a free demo version that performs many of the full–blown functions but are typically limited to the number of component (25 or so). Most of the SPICE circuit files on this site will run on demo versions. The circuits were developed using the TopSpice and PSPICE simulators.
