Looking for recommendations on a good overall Spice package for SMPS design and general mixed analog/digital simulations. By good I mean nice (and useful) feature set, flexible in what vendor models it can use, help with convergence problems, and easy to use. I'm primarily looking at PSpice from Cadence and ICAP/4 (Windows or Professional) from Intusoft. They're in the same general $3K-$5K price range, but I've had no luck finding any unbiased comparisons or evaluations of the two packages, or really of any Spice package. Only marketing fluff from the vendors themselves. Yes, I could and will eval the products, but would like to hear from others who have really run them through their paces. I'm pretty much a Spice newbie and can never get LTSpice to do what I want. I'm ready to invest time and money in a tool I can get some real work done with instead of having to outsource it.
