Xyce (/zaɪs/) is a free and open-source analog electronic circuit simulator developed by the Sandia National Laboratories. Xyce targets primarily the simulation of integrated circuit, although it has been used also for simulating neural networks, power grids or transmission lines.[2][3] Xyce can simulate very large systems by supporting parallel execution on large-scale computing platforms.[4] Xyce can be run in a terminal though command lines or through the GUI of QUCS. Xyce was written from scratch in C++ but it maintained the compatibility with SPICE even though it is not a derivative of it. The program leverages Sandia's Trilinos solver library which includes well-established libraries such as PETSc, Metis/ParMetis, SuperLU, Aztec, BLAS and LAPACK.[5] Xyce is released under the GNU General Public License version 3.
Compact models compatibility
Depending on their format, Xyce supports the following compact models:[6]
- most SPICE 3f5 models[7]
- VBIC and FBH bipolar transistor models
- a subset of the BSIM MOSFET models
- all PSP MOSFET models
- the VDMOS power MOSFET models
- some semiconductor neuron models
