Title: Free Circuit simulator?? Post by shubhamchawla on Dec 21st, 2017, 9:34am Hi! I have done an internship at Analog Devices where I was able to use cadence virtuoso etc. Now, I am at my university where there is no proper LAB or licenses or anybody caring to even contact Cadence for University Licence. I wish to publish papers on Bandgap and LDO design in next 6 months but have no tools. Please suggest me tools by which I can report data on research papers. I tried LTSpice but where do I find model files for processes like 180nm and less? Step by step tutorial would be very helpful on how to setup my environment where I can write testbenches and all. |

Nevertheless, I recommend LTspice as a free tool. You'll find models of transistors, for example in books as Razavi and Baker and others. |

The original poster wanted models for 180nm or smaller, which one is not likely to find in books. But LTspice uses a syntax that's very similar to HSpice, and may in fact read HSpice model files if they use mostly "standard" Spice syntax. I think I've seen 180nm (0.18u) model libraries - maybe from MOSIS? - available on the web, without requiring an NDA or contract from a foundry. |

Baker has 50 nm. |
