There are two full versions of SIMetrix and two versions of SIMetrix/SIMPLIS. Licensing options are designed to provide maximum flexibility and include stand alone, network and portable variants.
"I'm also impressed with the speed and convergence of SIMetrix on switching power supply circuits."
This product is aimed at analog design specialists who are involved in PCB level circuit design, and especially for power electronics applications. This product is also suitable for bipolar IC design if the real-time noise feature is not required.
Available on Windows (including Vista) and Linux platforms. See system requirements
A full-featured product suitable for CMOS IC designers or other transistor level designers who require real-time noise analysis.
Available on Windows (including Vista) and Linux platforms. See system requirements
Designed for the analysis of power electronics systems, this package features the revolutionary SIMPLIS simulator. Otherwise has all features of SIMetrix AD Plus. See SIMetrix/SIMPLIS feature list.
Available on Windows including Vista. See system requirements
Top of the range product including SIMPLIS and all CMOS chip design features. This product is for the IC designer who is also involved with power system design.

Standalone and network (see license options) versions of SIMetrix and SIMetrix/SIMPLIS are delivered by electronic distribution. A media kit consisting of printed manuals and CDROM is available for an extra charge.
If you order a portable version, we will ship you the USB key (dongle) and a CDROM, but you must order the media kit if you require printed manuals.
The SIMetrix media kit provides the User's and Simulator Reference manuals (over 650 pages total), while the SIMetrix/SIMPLIS media kit also provides the SIMPLIS reference manual.
The Script Reference Manual is no longer available in printed form.
All products include 1 year maintenance which provides unlimited support and free upgrades. Maintenance may subsequently be extended after the first year. Note that maintenance only covers upgrades by download. Media kits, which include the install CD and - where applicable - new manuals, are available for an additional charge.
SIMetrix Intro and SIMetrix/SIMPLIS Intro are free products available by download. SIMetrix Intro has virtually all the features of SIMetrix Micron AD but is subject to circuit size restrictions. SIMetrix/SIMPLIS Intro is the same but also includes the SIMPLIS simulator. Download
There are a number of different license options. Click here for more details.
SIMetrix AD-Plus and SIMetrix Micron A-D are supplied with a dual-platform license. Both Windows and Linux versions are supplied together and you choose which you wish to install. If you purchase a portable or network license, you can install both if you wish to. Please contact us for more information.
