A new TCAD for ngspice
Gong Ding has connected ngspice to his own 2D TCAD software: GSS. With GSS you can perform numerical simulations of semiconductor devices and pre/post process data. GSS can be used independently of ngspice to analize the behaviour of single device or together with it to perform mixed-level simulation of the device performing in a given circuit. Look at the GSS section in the ngspice web site.
NGspice on Pocket PC
Andre' Stemper has re-written ngspice to run on ARM based Pocket PCs. You can enter your netlist using a text editor on your Pocket PC and simulate it . Andre' says: "The idea of simulating on a PDA came to me when I was bend over a rather large schematic and used my Pocket PC to calculate a filter. Being able to simulate a small part of a schematic while drawing the first drafts and reusing this work later on during the simulation of the complete system, was one of the major reasons to port ngspice."
You can find the porting of ngspice for pocket pcs on Andre' web site.
Introduction of Verilog-AMS modeling into ngspice:
Laurent Lamaitre has ported his modeling system adms into ngspice. It is now possible to add Verilog-AMS coded devices. This is a great improvement for ngspice, thansk Laurent!
