Abstract. The analogue circuit simulator SPICE was originally developed at the University ofCalifornia at Berkeley. It was has been constantly upgraded and maintained at Berkeley from 1972 to1992, when the last official release 3f4 was published. The UNIX based source code is still availableas freeware at ftp://ic.berkeley.edu/pub/Spice3/ . Although the research at Berkeley has stopped, manycommercial companies continue to use the Berkeley code as the core of their SPICE compilationswith no or little modification. Since we have good experience with the original SPICE 3f4 code onUNIX machines, we decided to modify the code in order to run it on the PC running Windowsoperating system. In this paper, we present a fully functional compilation of SPICE 3f4 for Windows95/98/NT. Our compilation offers a native SPICE environment with an interactive interpreter knownfrom UNIX operating systems. In the paper, a PC version is introduced through two simulation cases.All simulation files as well as the simulator itself may be downloaded from
