# VLSI | SPICE | PCBs | Schematics

This is a collection of similar items I needed for for Project Research. Topics range from KiCad schematics and PCB development, to PSPice and Circuit Development, and finally for VLSI design there is EDA Playground and LTSpice.

## PSPice (OrCad Capture CIS Lite)

PSpice

- Download OrCad Capture CIS Lite 17.2 [Here](https://archive.org/details/data2_202303) or [Here](https://archive.org/details/17.2-or-cad-lite-capture-pspice).
- Note that this is the license-free (Lite) version & is posted in the public domain. It does not require a license key or activation. Please use responsibly.
- This version of OrCad PSpice was used exclusively for all electronics class simulations.
- All of the PSpice projects are my own work.

## EasyEDA

- [Download EasyEDA](https://www.analog.com/en/resources/design-tools-and-calculators/ltspice-simulator.html)
- The Free Version is sufficient for entry-level projects.
- SparkFun [EasyEDA Tutorial](https://www.sparkfun.com/news/6906?hss_channel=fbp-153488801415) for PCB design.
- Easy EDA free Standard Version allows local storage of project files.
- This EDA is a complete concept-to-PCB solution for no cost.

The only downside to KiCad is the lack of any SPICE simulation, although it does check basic electrical rules.
