The installation process is different, but the use of the software is more or less the same. This post covers installation on MacOS and Linux but usage only on the macOS platform. NOTE: The current release candidate for the Knowm OSS EDA Stack is available for macOS Sierra 10.12 and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus). Support for other architectures and operating systems are under development and will be released when available. The included versions of Qucs-S (0.0.19S) and Xyce 6.6 include libraries for amd64 architectures. This post covers installation and use on macOS and support for Xyce (Serial) simulations only.

It is available for macOS 10.12 Sierra and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus).

#Qucs tutorial update#

Update to the latest release candidate #2 of the Knowm OSS EDA Stack. Please follow the detailed tutorial Simulating the Knowm M-MSS Memristor Model Using Qucs-S with Xyce to learn the basics of creating a Qucs-S schematic file for use with Xyce to perform a transient simulation of the M-MSS model using an AC sinusoidal waveform. An accompanying no_load version of each of the circuits is also included in the KnowmMemristor_prj examples to allow for inspection of the ideal memristor behavior.

#Qucs tutorial series#

knowm_mr_pulse_bipolar_incr – Multiple series of alternating bipolar pulses with incremental stepped amplitude from -100mV to -1V and 100mV to 1VĮach of these experiments was created with the inclusion of a series limiting resistor to effectively limit the current through the M-MSS memristor which is generally necessary in actual circuit designs in order to avoid overcurrent conditions that could damage the device.

knowm_mr_pulse_bipolar – Series of positive pulses followed by a series of negative pulses with peak amplitude constant at 800mV and -650mV repectively.

knowm_mr_pulse_neg – Rectangular Pulse with negative incremental pulse amplitude from -250mV to -1V with -250mV steps.

knowm_mr_pulse – Rectangular Pulse with positive incremental pulse amplitude from 250mV to 1V with 250mV steps.

Memristor Experiments Included in This Tutorial The following experiments are included in the example Qucs-S project but only the knowm_mr_pulse experiment will be covered in this tutorial. In this post I will continue to explore the dynamic behavior of the M-MSS model by creating circuits that will simulate the model’s response to a square wave pulse with various pulse configurations while introducing some more advanced features of Qucs-S and Xyce integration.Īn example Qucs-S project has been created to perform various experiments that we will later set up on actual memristor devices using the Knowm Memristor Discovery board and associated extender modules. Several extensions to Qucs-S are being added to fully support circuit designs using the Knowm M-MSS ( Mean Meta-Stable Switch Memristor Model ).

#Qucs tutorial simulator#

In a previous post titled Simulating the Knowm M-MSS Memristor Model Using Qucs-S with Xyce, I presented the use of the open-source project Qucs-S – Quite Universal Circuit Simulator featuring the Spice4qucs branch and the Xyce Electronic Simulator as part of the Knowm Open-Source EDA Stack.
