What is SPICE?

Answer Posted / sam

Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis.
A program widely used to simulate the performance of analog
electronic systems and mixed mode analog and digital
systems. SPICE solves sets of non-linear differential
equations in the frequency domain, steady state and time
domain and can simulate the behavior of transistor and gate
designs. Developed at the University of California at
Berkeley in the mid-1970s, there are enhanced versions of
SPICE provided by several software companies. PSpice is a
version for personal computers such as DOS, Windows and Mac.
