Hi all.
It's been almost 40 years since last I used SPICE. Wondering if there is a common consensus on the best version to use for amateur analog design work on a PC. Looking to design a Class G amplifier. Last time I used SPICE it was on a mainframe computer, to give an idea how behind the times I am in this area.
Any thoughts appreciated. Mike

TINA by TI is very easy for beginners. It has a huge library of TI parts (opamps etc) but for most stuff on DIYA discrete amp design, LTSpice seems to be the standard. Harder to use but very powerful and you can share models from others more readily. It’s what I use now. Also, 3rd party models can be imported with some work. I wish there was a one click to show FR vs FFT like there is on TINA, which requires typed directive in schematic.
