cicsim 0.1.3

Custom IC Creator Simulation Tools

Custom IC Creator Simulation Tools

Caution

If you're looking for the cicsim that controlled spectre, then look in the cadence branch. From 2022-10-14 I decided to go all in on open source tools like ngspice, and thus discontinued support for spectre.

Why

This is a script package I use to control ngspice, it can

• Run corner simulations
• Create IPs (used in wulffern/aicex )
• Create simulation directories
