Spice simulator library

Schematic Simulation (Ngspice)

Hi Guy, where can I download the spice simulator library? I have looked but didn’t find it

Otherwise, can I insert the values related to the simulation inside the model? What are the essential parameters, for example, for transistors and operational amplifiers

Kicad doesn’t provide a spice library. I think it’s a copyright issue (?). I go to the manufacturer website and download models for my components from there and add them to my library. Ngspice has a compatibility mode for Pspice and LtSpic which works great.

There is no spice simulator library. Spice is integrated into KiCad. For an introduction, you may visit
KiCad Eeschema as GUI for ngspice, tutorial for setting up the simulation and https://www.youtube.com/@holger8105/videos. Device models are available at Spice models and model parameters for ngspice circuit simulator. Some generic models are linked with the Simulation_SPICE symbol library. As Lucas has said, semiconductor companies may offer models as well.

This is indeed a very basic question, not directly linked to KiCad/ngspice. So this may not be answered here, but would require you to have a look at some electronics tutorials.
