What is MacAC?

MacAC is a fully integrated linear circuit entry and simulation package that allows a user to graphically enter and edit analog circuits, perform analyses to investigate circuit properties and display or print the results in graphs or tables. It is designed to run on numerically non-intensive machines (Macintosh Plus and SE), as well as on the 020 and 030 machines with math coprocessors.

MacAC performs AC (frequency), Monte Carlo and time simulations on linear circuits. Circuits are easily entered and edited through a schematic capture interface. When voltage and current probes are placed in the circuit, MacAC automatically checks connections and collects data corresponding to those probes. The circuit may be quickly altered and the simulation rerun at the click of a mouse.
