<div>I'm actually about 50% LTspice via wine in Debian and 50% ngspice right now. Ngspice (which is terminal only, so I assume there's a way to get OSX to handle it) because I like to be able to invoke it when I'm ssh'd into my main box, and also in theory I can write bash scripts that invoke it (which of course had never happened). And also because LTSpice has some really bizarre quirks (undo is F9, seriously?) despite being really powerful.</div>
<div><div>

<div>Anyway, I think LTSpice might have a steeper learning curve than others because of quirks but now that I already have a billion models I downloaded that I know it's happy with I'm probably stuck with it.</div>

<div>I use LTSpice with OSX (w/ Wine) all the time. Linear has also come out with LTSpice specifically for OSX, but I haven't tried it yet. And LTSpice is good as a general purpose Spice simulator, not just for Linear's power ICs.<br><br>

You know for more than a year now I've been using TIs online power search tools and simulators<br><br><br>
Ultimately this has still kept my from learning spice<br><br>
(As I mainly use Java based simulators when I need to try out an idea quickly )<br><br>
But after having really great conversation with a linear representative last week, i'm think I might be better off using linear's parts<br><br><br>
The main stumbling block so far has just been the decidedly non OSX rich environment of the Linear (and probrably all ) spice software ...so keyboard command oriented<br><br>
Which is fine I guess but ultimately it's all about time<br><br>
So oh experts tell me<br><br>
Will I be better off with TI or linear for figuring out power stuff ??<br><br><br>
It's obvious that for power you need better analysis tools<br><br>
So spice seems at least more open<br><br><br>
Thanks for the opinions<br><br><br><br>
