    Perfect, thanks ! This gave me a crazy idea. It would be nice to do some kind of script that accepted a cadence schematic and generated a figure with the library from CircuiTikz, either generating CircuiTikz code or another language. Maybe we can get, somehow, the coordinates of each element on a cadence schematic and make use of that information. As a last resort we could use the netlist .... or develop some AI algorithm that could recognise the elements in a circuit and generate CircuiTikz code. I think I will put some thought on this! Thanks

    @midvok3918 5 місяців тому

    The symbols are very nice, thank you for that. However, the grid snapping in Inkscape (1.3) is so frustrating. It rarely snaps to the grid as expected and often leaves the node off the grid unless you zoom million times to the grid intersections. I've never encountered a program with such a frustrating grid snapping as this Inkscape.

    • @billps34
      @billps34 5 місяців тому

      You can change the snapping options in Inkscape. There are lots of options. Some of the settings such as the Bounding Box option might conflict with snapping to the grid. Switch this option off and it should make snapping easier, also enable the option for Object Rotation Centres and Object Midpoints.

    • @midvok3918
      @midvok3918 5 місяців тому

      ​@@billps34 Thanks, I've found that some options really help to get better snapping. Especially the Bounding Box option which was snapping to the stroke width outline by default. However, there are still so many of unfortunate "features" in Inkscape like that text scales with the group instead of keeping fixed size, no paragraph spacing, no vertical text alignment, no usable object connectors, etc.

    • @billps34
      @billps34 5 місяців тому

      @@midvok3918 Thing is, you need to remember what inkscape is actually for. It's an SVG editor for making scalable vector graphics - and some of those "features" work the way they do because of the constraints of the SVG format itself. For example, there's no paragraph spacing or vertical text alignment in SVG text boxes. Theses concepts just don't exist in SVG. Text formatting is quite limited in SVG, unlike for example in page layout software (Scribus/InDesign etc).

    But how do you extract .lib files from the technologies? If I wanted to use cadence’s gpdk090, for example, how could I extract it? I know it’s possible to extract a spectre based netlist, but I’m not sure if it’s possible for other simulator.

    • @usefulknowledge6074
      @usefulknowledge6074 8 місяців тому

      gpdk090 is written using cadence's spectre language, which means that it can only be simulated with spectre, which this tool does not support. Why? Because almost all pdks support hspice. So, there's no point in having support for just a few cadence pdks.

    i like the video and followed up with a copy of the git in Jupyter lab. the library is actually hidden in a Dot folder the path proofes. all diode methodes show the same parameter but only Methode 3 (library import) shows a real diode behavior. Comparing with a real datasheet the forward current 10mA at 0.8V mean 1K dominates. setting 10ohm is more real. Anyway all other methods did not show a diode. the model parallel resistor can be the reason as it is E9 or Gigaohm and only bypassing nA; something is fishy :-( restarting the kernel and stepping to Methode 1 only, without methode 2 and 3 execution i got a new .NgSpiceShared._send_char ERROR - unknown subckt: cd n_out 0 1n4148 ..... i will stick to the library use - gives a diode i trust

Than just run the interesting stuff. always restart the kernel for a new portion trial. If not you get side effects. die diode Methode 1 now works also.

    Extremely useful video, I have a question: is it possible to go back to the cuircuiTikZ code once the circuit has been drawn on Inkscape? So that I can copy and paste the source code directly into the main Overleaf code. In any case, having the possibility to draw the circuit and then have a pdf file to load into the LaTeX file is still super useful, but at least if there was also the chance to draw the circuit in the way you show and than know the code behind what we drew it could be useful both to learn how cuircuiTikZ thinks and also to not have to save the result in a pdf. Thank you very much, maybe my question is quite stupid, anyway really nice and smart video!

      Unfortunately, this doesn't have that functionality. There is some tool that addresses your questions, but I can't remember the name right now. Basically, you draw the circuit in LTSpice and it converts the LTSpice file into CircuitTikz. I tried it and it works but wasn't too happy about the spacing between components. Also, it was a bit hard to modify. Check it out. Maybe it meets your needs.

According to pyspice.fabrice-salvaire.fr/releases/v1.4/api/PySpice/Spice/Simulation.html#PySpice.Spice.Simulation.CircuitSimulation.dc it is possible to sweep over a certain resistor. However, when trying to do so, i always get an error. I use the same syntax as when sweeping over a voltage source, like this "dc_analysis = simulator.dc(R1=slice(1, 11, 1))". I've searched the whole internet and ngspice manual for a solution to this problem, whithout success. Do you know how to do a dc simulation while sweeping over the values of a resistor?

      It can export to LaTeX, but each document or fragment thereof is a tree of strings, not a newline-delimited ASCII text file. This was done because the intended editing environment is the WYSIWYG editor. That said, a saved TeXmacs document resembles an XML file with many opening and closing angle braces; since tree nodes are strings and newlines used as delimiters, I find version control via git to be useful.
