## How is Ngspice interfaced with GHDL?
-Ngspice supports mixed mode simulation. It can simulate both digital and analog components.
+Ngspice supports mixed-signal simulation. It can simulate both digital and analog components.
Ngspice has something called code-model which defines the behavior of your component and can be used in the netlist. For example you can create a full-adder's code-model in Ngspice and use it in any circuit netlist of Ngspice.
