Electric PCB CAD
Electric is an open-source electronic design automation (EDA) tool that provides a comprehensive environment for designing and simulating electronic circuits. It facilitates the creation of schematics, layout designs, and supports various aspects of integrated circuit design. The software is available for free, allowing users to download and utilize it without any financial commitment. This accessibility encourages users to familiarize themselves with the functionality of the CAD system, promoting an understanding of electronic design principles.
The key features of Electric include a user-friendly interface, extensive libraries of components, and powerful simulation capabilities. Users can create complex circuit designs using a variety of tools that allow for schematic capture, layout editing, and design rule checking. The open-source nature of Electric means that users can modify the source code to suit their specific needs, fostering a collaborative environment where improvements and enhancements can be shared within the community.
Furthermore, Electric supports various file formats, enabling interoperability with other EDA tools and facilitating the integration of design workflows. This flexibility is essential for engineers and designers who may need to collaborate with others using different software platforms. Overall, Electric serves as a valuable resource for both novice and experienced engineers, contributing to the democratization of electronic design tools and practices.That`s right, Electric is open source! You can download Electric from the web for free.There is no better way to get to know a CAD system than to use it for a while. Now you can use it at no charge! If you like it, keep it! If you don`t, you`ve lost nothing.Why are we doing this? Because we believe that software should not be proprietary, and we want everyone to be able to use Electric.
