PrimeSim HSPICE Alternatives

PrimeSim HSPICE is described as 'As IC geometries continue to shrink, the need for an accurate circuit simulator is critical. Designers require a highly accurate circuit simulator to precisely predict the timing, power consumption, functionality, and yield of their designs' and is an app. There are five alternatives to PrimeSim HSPICE for Mac, Windows and Linux. The best PrimeSim HSPICE alternative is Pspice, which is free. Other great apps like PrimeSim HSPICE are Ngspice, Gnucap, McCAD 3SPICE and MacSpice.
