Work in InfineonSpice is organized in projects. A project contains all needed schematics as well as imported or locally created components for use in the circuits.

A project is the fundamental organizational unit when working with InfineonSpice. Projects group everything that you need for a particular undertaking. They can be exported and so exchanged with other users. The Workspace view represents a project as a folder .

Each project must contain at least one schematic, which represents a circuit. It can contain multiple schematics, for example, for several development alternatives or if you want to test multiple aspects of a device in simulations.

A schematic contains components that are connected with traces. Components fall into different categories:

  • Basic components are generic elements like diodes, resistors, or grounds.

  • Infineon components represent electronics products that Infineon offers, such as gate drivers or MOSFETs. InfineonSpice comes with an extensive library of such components that allow you to test them in your designs.

  • Custom components can be either ready-made components that sources other than Infineon, in which case they appear in the Model Libraries view, or you can create your own local components that are listed in the project's folder in the Workspace view.

The behavior of components is described by models, snippets of Spice code, that are contained in libraries. Components are visually represented by symbols; a component is the combination of a model with a symbol.
