SLiCAP library

SLiCAP comes with a library with device models and subcircuits.

Models of devices and sub circuits are located in the /lib sub directory of your SLiCAP installation folder.

>>> sl.ini.main_lib_path

'/USR/ENV/anton/lib/python3.12/site-packages/SLiCAP/files/lib/'

SLiCAP.lib: models and subcircuits

The table below gives an overview of the contents of the SLiCAP.lib file.

An m in the type column indicates a device model definition for a SLiCAP built-in model (.model directive).

Model parameters for built-in models can be found in the Device Models section.

An s in the type column indicates a sub circuit definition (.subckt … .ends). Parameters that can be passed to these subcircuits are listed in the table.

The last four columns give the schematic symbol names that can be used for these devices in SLiCAP, KiCAD, gschem/Lepton-EDA, and LTspice
