SPICE for Mac OS X?

Hello.

Is there any circuit simulator/schematics drawing program that works on
Mac OS X?

Capilano has DesignWorks which has a simulator (optional). They partner
with Douglas Engineering who has a CAD layout program and Douglas can
even do a proto-board for you from the raw layout files. Both run on X
and work quite well for what I do. The Gerber I generated did have to
have a manual touch up in the PC program that my companies board maker
used but even that was only about three feedthrough holes.

Have you checked on versiontracker or macupdate?

MacSpice and MI-Sugar are likely candidates for simulation.
Sugar has some basic schematic entry tools, and can run gnucap as an
alternative to the spice engine.

If you are looking more towards PCB production, then take a look
at OsmondPCB. (they have a yahoo discussion forum that should help
get you oriented for schematic capture, etc...

I've seen LTspice run on a virtual PC on
a 1GHz Mac G4. It was running at about 2/3 the
speed of my 1.5GHz Centrino notebook, so it's
definitely a viable way of doing simulations
and probably faster than native OS X Mac SPICE
programs.

Guys,
I believe that the BeigeBag SPICE (with included schematic capture,etc.)
has a MAC version. I've been running their Windows version for a few
years now and am very happy with it. The web site is www.beigebag.com

They don't have a MacOSX version that I know of.

MI-Sugar is pretty similar to the old B2Spice that I had seen some years ago.

Also an option. I am mainly interested in knowing what options are
available for OS X... because I have friends that are interested in Mac
(for graphics work) and they're also electronics software users.

If they want spice (as opposed to schematic capture) MacSpice is at:

Isn't Charles DH Williams missing?

I know MacSPICE.

SPICE is useful, but about schematic capture is also.

If you can handle a CLI-based SPICE, but also want schematic capture,
the gEDA suite has been ported to OSX. Fink packages are available at:

As for SPICE itself, well, there's MacSPICE, or you could download the
latest ngspice and try compiling it using gcc on the Mac. I haven't
heard anybody do that, but Linux stuff ports to OSX pretty easily.
