What is a good program for mixed mode circuit simulation? [closed]

I'm looking for a program that will perform schematic capture and mixed-mode (analog and digital) circuit simulation. If it also did PCB layout and routing, that would be a bonus, but not necessary. I currently use an old version of CircuitMaker/TraxMaker, but it's dated, and the simulation engine is a bit lacking. Windows or Linux, doesn't really matter.

"LTSpice from Linear Technology for simulation.
KiCad for PCB"

"You can try the following two links.

Electronics Lab

OrCAD

If you want to try for ""PIC uC"" micro controllers specially, you can get useful software from MicroChip, and also ask in their wiki.

I've some useful software but you will need more time & value to pay for these. So I don't share.

But ""ORCAD"" is not bad for normal users for schematic capture, mixed-mode (analog and digital) circuit simulation, PCB layout and routing."

Check out Xilinx (SP?). I remember they had a pretty good sweet a few years ago when I was in college. Requires either verilog or VHDL knowledge though, it won't just let you diagram it.

NGspice is a mixed-level/mixed-signal circuit simulator. Its code is based on three open source software packages: Spice3f5, Cider1b1 and Xspice @ http://ngspice.sourceforge.net/
