Reliable Simulation with Ideal Components

What is idealCircuit?

idealCiruit is an analog circuit simulator working with true ideal components. It is based on a similar idea as NL5 Circuit Simulator. However, it is simplified as much as possible: very simple and intuitive interface, fewer components, models, and features.

What is an "ideal" component?

The best example is an ideal switch, with zero resistance when closed, infinite resistance when open, and instantaneous switching process. Another example: an ideal diode with similar properties. All other components might be not as "ideal" as switch and diode, however they are also simplified to provide just a basic functionality required for component of that type.

Why use ideal components?

With ideal components, engineers can evaluate a general concept and prove the feasibility of the design very quickly, leaving thorough and detailed analysis to standard SPICE-based tools. Students can simulate exactly the same schematics they see in the textbooks: no need to select a specific diode or amplifier from the list of thousands of parts.

Try FREE version of NL5 Circuit Simulator: NL5 lite

Download

NL5 lite uses the same set of components and simulation algorithm as standard NL5 Circuit Simulator, with a rather simplified user interface and just basic functionality and features. It does not require a license for unlimited components.
