What it is and why you should use it¶
- SLiCAP is an acronym for: Symbolic Linear Circuit Analysis Program.
- SLiCAP is a more than a symbolic network simulation tool: ‘Symbolic SPICE’.
- SLiCAP helps you setting up and solving design equations of electronic circuits.
- SLiCAP is a MATLAB® application and SLiCAP output can be used in other MATLAB® routines.
- SLiCAP is free of use licensed under a `Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License.
