Mike Engelhardt
Mike has been writing physical simulators since 1975. His first simulators were written for high energy physics labs, instrumentation companies working in charged-particle optics, and hydrocarbon location for oil exploration. He was Director of Simulation Development at Linear Technology Corporation (now ADI) for 22 years.
His educational background is physics from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor; University of Mainz, Germany; and University of California, Berkeley where he was awarded the Lenzen fellowship for theoretical physics. He holds eight patents in simulation and switch mode power supply design. Mike has delivered seminars on SPICE simulation in 48 countries.
Sessions
QSPICE® is SPICE-based, freely available circuit simulation software that includes tools for making JFET, MOSFET and diode models. This presentation describes and documents the interprocess communication of the different QSPICE processes so they can replace QSPICE schematics with KiCAD schematics to add simulation, marching waveforms, and cross probing to KiCAD. This will enable KiCAD users to integrate QSPICE elements that complement KiCAD capabilities to enhance their circuit simulation, model creation and layout experiences.
