the bonus point of Qspice is the mixed signal simulation with Verilog and C/C++. which can make feasible to integrate a plethora of libraries and models compiled by external parties.

Why the output is in kiloVolts?

The output is what would normally be the internal microcontroller output from an ADC. For a 12-bit ADC the values can range from 0 to 4095, therefore it appears as kiloVolts in this demonstration.

Thanks for the demo ! Do you know if one could do this in ngspice ?

I believe it’s possible. However, it’s definitely more work to get it running than in QSpice.

Qspice cannot run on Linux, I tried to hack the binary to bypass some checks to be able to run within Wine but i stopped frustrated. any solution?

Since I’m only using Windows I unfortunately don’t know any work around to get it running on Linux.

I have one version running under Win7, one under Win10 and one under Wine Ubuntu. Works under Wine when compatibility mode is set with the winecfg option: Staging - check Hide Wine version from applications

@@batishchev i will check. the trouble initally was the 'compatibility' during the installation which fails recognizing the 64bit OS and 'blocked' with Windows 10 not detected.

According to your method, you also need to unlock the QUX.exe file

Isn’t this an AtoA converter? ;-)

In this example the output is only there for demonstration purposes. It does however convert the analog input into an integer. For the defined 12-bits the input value is converted to a range from 0 to 4095.

cmon, an ADC has a digital serial (in most cases) out, not a discrete analog voltage

You‘re 100% right. However, here it was just for demonstration purposes. The idea is more to use the simple code of the ADC input as a modulation of a microcontroller ADC and then further process it internally before providing an output through different peripherals.

@@engineeringhustleI supposed this ) Just found out this new great software recently, and I was really impressed how easy many things can be made with it.

It would be better described as simulate ADC sampling and not ADC per se, I think and the voltage sampled cannot be in KV, right? kzread.info/dash/bejne/X5WNztCrn7qrk7w.html

Maybe modeling an ADC in C would better describe what is shown in this video. The voltage in kV just shows the internal value you get from an ADC conversion within a microcontroller. This output is just there for demonstration.
