A collection of circuit calculators and netlist checks that runs ngspice in the browser, covering topics from surge and ESD protection to PCB impedance and power integrity.

Worth noticing
Its sample IEC 61000-4-5 table shows calculated values, reference values, error percentages, and the definitions behind the comparisons.

Field notes

The page exposes a validation table rather than relying only on a broad accuracy claim: sample IEC 61000-4-5 rows show calculated values, reference values, error percentages, and source definitions. It says the tools run ngspice in the browser and describes an offline Playwright check in which changing a surge-tool resistor changed the reported peak current from 34.3 A to 43.6 A without a network request. The homepage also says two via-stub comparisons with openEMS were suggestive, not conclusive.
