Abstract

In the 1970s, the Electronics Research Laboratory of the University of California, Berkeley developed the Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis (SPICE), which is a general-purpose integrated circuit (IC) simulator that can be used to check the integrity of circuit designs and predict circuit behaviors at the transistor level.
