Greetings one and all, A hardware engineer colleague of mine is getting interested in using SPICE for doing some hybrid design work, but keeps complaining about lack of libraries. Does anyone know of a source of discrete component libraries for said package? Even willing to pay *money*, if forced!

Does anyone know of a source of discrete component libraries >for said package? Steve- I posted a similar request a couple of months ago; no response. The EE department here needs a good library of transistors and diodes, as the defaults are pretty silly (Ic = Ib for a BJT? Yeah, right). Anyway, I did manage to learn a few things in my search for a library: that the parameters in the Lab books published by manufacturers generally include data in a format different than what SPICE wants (eg capacitances measured at different conditions, etc.). Second, that a real library DOES exist with a SPICE package for IBM PCs (called, I believe, PSpice). You must buy the package and then pay a little extra for the library. Third, that somewhere there exist SPICE users' groups that mantain large librarys of devices. We were not able to learn more about these users' groups. Anyone else have any info for us? Replies greatly apprecieted. ----------------------------------------------------- | Dave Treadwell | Bitnet: DTREADW@PUCC | UUCP: ...allegra!psuvax1!PUCC@BITNET!DTREADW
