designing new or modifying existing circuits. Every new idea can be tested without a real printed circuit board or a soldering iron. Therefore the “SPICE” program was developed before 1980 at the Berkeley University, running on FORTRAN machines. But the more important version for the „normal“ user is PSPICE (= SPICE for the PC).
