CircuitLogix Student

CircuitLogix Student is a professional software application that features analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits and uses PSpice to simulate a wide range of electronic devices, models, and circuits. The utility provides accurate real-time results, thanks to its SPICE simulation, and lets you draw and edit analogue and digital circuit diagrams.

User interface

The layout may seem a bit overwhelming at a first glance but this is only because the tool comes packed with plenty of dedicated parameters and various built-in components.
The tool embeds the components that can be used to shape up the circuits in the primary panel (on the left side of the main window), and allows you to insert them in the working environment using click-and-point operations.
Additionally, you can move items to the desired position using the drag-and-drop support, and import data from CKT or CIR file format.

A wide range of built-in components

CircuitLogix Student comprises various items that can help you build up various circuits, such as semiconductors (resistors, capacitors, diodes, bridge rectifiers), displays, indicators, and switches (e.g. LEDs, 7-Segment LEDs, Hex display, Hex key, NC push-button, NO push button, SPDT PB), digital primitives (Gates, DeMorgan symboled gates, buffers, inverters, flip-flops), as well as digital and linear ICs (1K RAM, 32x8 PROM, op-amps, comparators, timers, buffers).
Additionally, you can make use of relays (control relay, SPST, DPDT, individual contacts and coils), as well as supplies and sources (e.g. battery, voltage Terminal, signal generator).

Editing operations and exporting options

The tool gives you the possibility to undo your actions, carry out basic editing operations (cut, copy, paste, delete, move), duplicate items, copy the circuit the clipboard, so you can easily paste it into other third-party apps, copy the waveforms, and mirror or rotate the selected component to different angles.
What’s more, you can view information about the circuit (e.g. devices, wires, nodes, text fields, bytes of memory used), run or stop the simulation, embed custom text messages, use various hotkeys for a better control over the entire process, print or save the circuits to WMF file format, save data to CKT file format, as well as create macros.

3DLab

CircuitLogix Student also includes an interactive 3-dimensional learning environment and various electronic devices, such as batteries, switches, motors, lamps, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and instruments including oscilloscopes, signal generators, and frequency counters.
Plus, you may copy the image to the clipboard, enable sound effects, as well as pick a default wire color and style (thick or thin).

An excellent software electronic circuit simulator

All in all, CircuitLogix Student proves to be a reliable application that comes bundled with a multitude of dedicated parameters for helping you build and simulate analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuits.
