Qorvo Enhances QSPICE Circuit Simulation Software with Advanced Modelling Capabilities

05-03-2025 | By Jack Pollard

Qorvo, a global leader in connectivity and power solutions, has introduced powerful new modelling capabilities to its award-winning QSPICE® circuit simulation software. This latest feature enables electronic designers to generate semiconductor component models in minutes instead of hours, streamlining the circuit simulation process and improving design efficiency.

With the new tool included in the free QSPICE software package, users can create accurate circuit simulation models for Junction Field Effect Transistors (JFETs), Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs), and diodes using standard datasheet parameters. Mike Engelhardt, the author of QSPICE, highlights this addition as the most significant simulation enhancement since the software's launch in 2023. “QSPICE users can now generate functional models for power devices with ease, taking circuit simulation to the next level,” said Engelhardt. “Reliable circuit simulation starts with accurate part models, and this tool makes the process faster and more precise for engineers and hobbyists alike.”

Optimising Circuit Design with QSPICE

QSPICE goes beyond traditional analog simulation, providing engineers with fast, mixed-mode simulation capabilities that allow them to analyse complex digital circuits and algorithms efficiently. Its modern schematic capture and high-speed performance make it the ideal solution for today's demanding system design challenges.

Key benefits of QSPICE include:

  • Rapid Model Generation – Engineers can create component models quickly using datasheet data.

  • Advanced Circuit Simulation – Supports both analog and digital simulations for a comprehensive design process.

  • Free and Actively Supported – QSPICE is available at no cost and backed by Qorvo’s expert support and a growing user community.

By enabling pre-prototype testing, QSPICE reduces design cycles, minimises costly errors, and decreases environmental impact. The software has received industry recognition, including the Elektra Award and Électrons d’Or Trophy for its innovative contributions to circuit simulation technology.
