New to SPICE

[WithTarragon]

Good Morning Folks,

I have a limited background in circuits and would like to learn more. I have tackled the Linsley-Hood book (Art of linear electronics), so my next adventure is to learn SPICE.

What are the recommendations for a
1. free or student version of SPICE?
2. is the best way to learn, simply to plow through it?

BTW: I enjoyed the JLH book

Thanks for your thoughts and advice

Probably the best SPICE program available for any price is LTSPICE from Linear Technology. It's free and very good. There is a great user community to support the tool.

Try microcap from www.spectrum-soft.com They have a
student edition.

Carpenter in this forum got started with it, and he seems quite
happy.
