What is TSPICE, HSPICE, PSPICE? Full Form

There are different types of simulation software available for electrical as well as electronics engineering. The main function of simulation software is to observe the behavior or output of an electrical or electronic circuit. In simulation software, you can make a virtual circuit with different electrical and electronic components and observe their functions. Different types of simulation software are designed for different circuits.

What is TSPICE or T-Spice?

T-Spice is a simulation software or simulation program that is specially designed to observe the behavior of a circuit containing analog devices or analog components. T-Spice helps to know about different parts of a circuit and their connection. Also, note that T-Spice is suitable for analyzing both AC and DC circuits. T-Spice can be used by general users. T-Spice is mostly used by teachers, and students for their practicals and projects.

The full form of T-Spice is the T-Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis.

Advantages of T-Spice

1. It is suitable for both AC and DC circuit analysis.

2. It helps to know about every component of the circuit individually.

Disadvantages of T-Spice

1. It is not case sensitive, which means it cannot distinguish the upper case and lower case words.

2. It cannot recognize Greek Fonts.

What is HSPICE or H-Spice?

H-Spice is also an analog circuit analyzing program software and it is the most suitable transient analysis. H-Spice is a device-level circuit simulator and is mostly used in industries for production design. It is mostly used for VLSI(Very Large Scale Integration) semiconductor electronics technology. For the operation of this program, we need to upload a circuit description input file. After executing the description of the input file, it will simulate the circuit.

The full form of H-Spice is H(Hewlett)-Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis.

H-Spice is capable of the following operations,

• Frequency response and domain analysis
• Steady-state signal analysis
• Transient Analysis

What is PSPICE or P-Spice?

In electronics circuit design, the importance of simulation software is very much. P-Spice is also a circuit simulation software or program. It is a very fast and high-end program than others. P-Spice is mostly used by engineers and scientists for their design, experiments, and research.

The full form of P-Spice is P(Personal)-Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis.

P-Spice is suitable for both analog and mixed-signal circuits. Here are the following features of the P-Spice Program,

• DC Sweep Analysis
• AC Sweep Analysis
• Transient Analysis
• Bias Point Details
• Frequency Response

Advantages of P-Spice

1. The P-Spice simulation program can optimize the functionality of the circuit automatically.

2.  P-Spice provides the features of dimensioning the electronic circuit.

3. It can measure the component tolerance also.

To simulate an electronic design, you need to provide the following information to the P-Spice Program

1. First, the parts or components in your circuits and how they are connected to each other

2. The second one is, what analysis do you want to run.

3. Select the simulation models that correspond to the parts in your circuits.

4. Then test with stimulus editor.
