Circuit Design - Simulation

Edison version 5 is a unique new learning environment for electricity and electronics. Teachers and students can use multimedia screens, virtual instruments, sound, and animation to create, test, and safely repair circuits. Real-time 3D graphics and lifelike 3D components will captivate your students as they build circuits in the real 3D world. Edison also comes with over 100 experiments and problems that teachers and students can use immediately.

TINA Design Suite is a powerful yet affordable circuit simulator and PCB design software package for analyzing, designing, and real time testing of analog, digital, HDL, MCU, and mixed electronic circuits and their PCB layouts. You can also analyze SMPS, RF, communication, and optoelectronic circuits; generate and debug MCU code using the integrated flowchart tool; and test microcontroller applications in a mixed circuit environment. A unique feature of TINA is that you can bring your circuit to life with the optional USB controlled TINALab II and LabXplorer hardware, which turns your computer into a powerful, multifunction T&M instrument. Electrical engineers will find TINA an easy to use, high performance tool, while educators will welcome its unique features for the training environment. TINA is an acronym of "Toolkit for Interactive Network Analysis.

Digital Works is a graphical design tool that enables you to construct digital logic circuits and to analyse their behaviour through simulation. Circuits can be composed of simple gates (AND, OR, NAND, NOR, XOR, XNOR, NOT) and simple flip-flops (D, RS and JK). You can also use tri-state and memory devices to construct systems with buses. Digital Works also provides mechanisms for detecting race conditions and bus contention. Input to the circuit can be achieved using switches, clocks, sequence generators and interactive input devices. Output can be viewed using LED, 7 segment LED and numeric devices. You can also view a history of logic events using the logic history window. Counters, shift registers, data registers, drivers and more are available from the parts centre. One of Digital Works most powerful features is the ability to create macros and add them to the parts centre. This enables you to convert a circuit into a logic element itself. The new logic element can be used as a building block in the construction of more complex circuits. The complex circuit can also be converted into a new logic element, and so on. This enables you to create a hierarchy of digital objects, with each new level hiding the complexity of its implementation. Some examples of macros include: counters, shift registers; data registers. You can even create integrated circuits e.g. a 74HC08. This version of the software (3.0.5.0) has had all the licensing restrictions removed and is now free for anyone to use.

The only think you have to do is to put the desired values and the the program will design the circuit. It can design active-passive filters, power supplies, operational amplifiers, 555 timer circuits, basic electronics, communication electronics and attenuator pads.
