Anyone use orcad for your projects?

[TargetAmplificadores]

hi friends, im new in the forum, this is my first post, and this forum amplifier is the almost complete I've ever seen. Well,I use Orcad 16.3 (need the IR2010), and not liked him very much, however I would like to know if you have a software amplifier manufacturers often use to simulate your circuits, even you friends, what software do you usually use to simulate your circuits?


Thank you!

LTSpiceIV.. Free, good, no limit on nodes or components, and easy to add 3rd party spice models to if so inclined. (Of course you can always use the .include statement if you wish)

and I forgot to mention:

that at the end of the scheme, he can generate the layout of the pcb ...

Thank you friends, you guys helped me a lot

 

[escopunk]

Nice compiled list, gonna file that for later😀
