SPICE

SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis) is a computer software tool used by engineers to simulate and analyze the behavior of electronic circuits. It models how electrical components—like resistors, capacitors, semiconductors—interact under various conditions, allowing designers to test and optimize circuits before building physical prototypes. This helps identify potential issues, improve performance, and save time and costs in the development process. Essentially, SPICE acts as a virtual testing environment, providing insights into how a circuit will function in real-world situations.
