SPICE models also work within KiCAD's hierarchical sheets allowing complex logic gates to be built and reused in schematics.

Placing all four NAND gates of a 74HC00 into the model exposes 14 pins and KiCAD expects a SPICE model with 14 parameters. Now switch to system terminal and execute ngspice: Then run simulation and see waveforms: run plot v (drain) The simulation fails for this schematic with Qucs, but ngspice simulates it correctly. Spice netlist is located at HOME/.qucs/spice4qucs.cir. KiCAD assumes that each IC maps to one SPICE model. To test spice4qucs open this schematic with Qucs, then execute Simulation->Simulate with spice. When multiple NAND gates (U1A, U1B, etc) from the same IC are placed in the schematic the ngspice model fails. However, in practice, all four NAND gates of the 74HC00 are going to be used. Multiple pairs of NAND and power units could be added to the schematic and used with the default ngspice 74HC00 model if they were treated as discrete components (U1A, U2A, U3A, etc).

Note that the NAND gate and the power unit need to be part of the same IC (U 1A and U 1E). Placing one of the NAND gates and the power unit exposes five pins in eeschema and the circuit simulates properly.

#Qucs nand not software
This model works well if the schematic contains a single gate. An equivalent-circuit model for MEMS electrostatic actuator using open-source software Qucs Abstract No full-text available Citations (24) References (4). Each instance of the 74HC00 SPICE model requires five connections: two inputs, an output, VCC, and ground.SUBCKT 74HC00 in1 in2 out NVCC NVGND The experimental ngspice model assumes that each gate maps to one instance of the SPICE model.
#Qucs nand not code
KiCAD splits the IC into five discrete components: four individual gates (Units A-D) and one power unit (Unit E). The Falstad simulator has an example circuit of a NAND SR latch. Qucs-Schematic can drive digital simulation by converting the schematic to drive HDL code on either Icarus-Verilog or FreeHDL engines.With the release of KiCAD 5, KiCAD supports circuit simulation within eeschema using ngspice. Nand actually means NOT of AND,so NAND is a combination of AND and NOT.
