EISPICE

The EISPICE application was designed to be a clone of the Berkley SPICE 3 Simulation Engine. It was originally targeted toward PCB level Signal Integrity Simulation; simulating IBIS model defined devices, transmission lines, and passive termination but the scope of the tool has been slowly expanding to include more general purpose circuit simulation features.

The simulation engine is written in C and utilizes the SuperLU matrix library for solving the MNA Matrices. It should run faster than Berkley Spice for most IBIS based SI simulations (it's difficult to directly compare them because spice doesn't directly support IBIS models).

eispice contains a subset of standard spice3 device models. The intent is to one day be completely compliant with models available in the basic spice3f5 release. eispice also includes a set of unique models like direct IBIS model support, Python based Behavioral models, non-linear capacitors, etc.

eispice includes a very simple plot utility or you can use the Python Plotting tool of your choice
