CircuitLogix
CircuitLogix is an electronic design automation (EDA) software tool that seamlessly integrates schematic capture and simulation in one complete program. Professional schematic capabilities include a built-in device editor, a macro feature for hierarchical devices, and automatic wire routing. Using simulation tools like CircuitLogix, students, engineers, designers, and bench technicians all have the freedom to try all the "what-if" scenarios - changing parts or component values, then re-running the simulation to see how changes affect the circuit's operation and performance. This type of testing is not always feasible with traditional breadboarding methods.
CircuitLogix allows users to simulate any combination of analog and digital components. Mixed-model simulation is as easy and the speed and accuracy rivals EDA tools costing thousands of dollars. CircuitLogix features a device library of over 10,000 devices, easy SPICE model import, and no limit on the number of pins for an individual device. CircuitLogix features a proven, accurate 32-bit SPICE3f5/XSpice-based simulator for analog and mixed-signal circuits, and a fully interactive digital logic mode when only logic simulation is needed. The simulations give real-world results designers can trust. CircuitLogix allows for testing and trouble-shooting in a "virtual electronics lab", without worrying about bad parts or faulty connections that often plague traditional prototyping. And with a click of the free-floating Probe tool, users can instantly see waveforms and measurements on virtual instruments like the digital oscilloscope, curve tracer, bode plotter or digital multimeter.
