XSCHEM is a schematic capture program that allows to interactively enter an electronic circuit using a graphical interface. When the schematic has been created a circuit netlist can be generated for simulation.

Installation

You can install XSCHEM via git using:

$ git clone https://github.com/StefanSchippers/xschem

The XSCHEM documentation is here.

Using XSCHEM with the SkyWater 130nm PDK

To test your XSCHEM installation, you can use this sample schematic of a common-source amplifier, with the (1) test voltages and load capacitors, and (2) the simulation analyses added added as NGSPICE code.
