COMPARISON AND EVALUATION OF THREE AUTOMATED CIRCUIT ANALYSIS PROGRAMS: PREDICT, NET-1, AND CIRCUS,

Abstract

All three programs appear to have outstanding capabilities for a certain type of work. PREDICT is impressive for its flexibility in handling arbitrary mathematical expressions, and thus is ready-made for experimental work with new and different device models, or for modifications of ones already known. The properties of such models can, therefore, be easily determined and studied. NET-1 shows its advantage in the area of production circuit analysis and design. The circuit designer is provided with, upon request, a power supply failure analysis which alerts the designer as to whether supply failure may jeopardize the transistors and diodes in the circuit. CIRCUS has capabilities uniquely fitted to production radiation effects work.
