Spice# (SpiceSharp)
Spice# is a Spice circuit simulator written in C#. The framework is made to be compatible with the original Berkeley Spice simulator, but bugs have been squashed and features can and will probably will be added.
## Documentation
You can find documentation at [https://spicesharp.github.io/SpiceSharp/](https://spicesharp.github.io/SpiceSharp/). There you can find a guide for **getting started**, as well as more information about:
- Supported types of analysis.
- The general structure of Spice#.
- A tutorial on how to implement your own *custom* model equations (prerequisite knowledge needed).
- An example of changing parameters during simulation.
- etc.
## Quickstart
Simulating a circuit is relatively straightforward. For example:
```csharp
using System;
using SpiceSharp;
using SpiceSharp.Components;
using SpiceSharp.Simulations;
namespace SpiceSimulation
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Build the circuit
var ckt = new Circuit(
new VoltageSource("V1", "in", "0", 0.0),
new Resistor("R1", "in", "out", 1.0e3),
new Resistor("R2", "out", "0", 2.0e3)
);
// Create a DC sweep and register to the event for exporting simulation data
var dc = new DC("dc", "V1", 0.0, 5.0, 0.001);
dc.ExportSimulationData += (sender, exportDataEventArgs) =>
{
Console.WriteLine(exportDataEventArgs.GetVoltage("out"));
};
// Run the simulation
dc.Run(ckt);
}
}
}
```
Most standard Spice-components are available, and building your own custom components is also possible!
## Installation
Spice# is available as a **NuGet Package**.

## Aim of Spice#?
Spice# aims to be:
- A **Library** rather than a standalone piece of software like most simulators currently are.
- **Accessible** for both the amateur and advanced electronics enthusiast (and perhaps professional designer). In order to decrease the hurdle, a [Spice# parser](https://github.com/SpiceSharp/SpiceSharpParser) is also being developed. This also includes it being cross-platform (.NET and Mono).
- **Compatible** with the *original Spice 3f5* software (without the bugs). There's a reason why this has become the industry standard.
- **Customizable** with custom simulations, custom models, integration methods, solver, etc.
- **Performance**, but still completely managed code. Nobody wants a slow simulator.
## What Spice# is not
Having been implemented in the .NET framework does have some limitations:
- Unmanaged C/C++ code can often be optimized more than managed code.
- Spice# uses *Reflection* to give you a better experience. However if you decide to use reflection, you may feel some performance hit.
