List of free analog and digital electronic circuit simulators, available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and comparing against UC Berkeley SPICE. The following table is split into two groups based on whether it has a graphical visual interface or not.
Flying probes are test probes used for testing both bare circuit boards and boards loaded with components. Flying probes were introduced in the late 1980’s and can be found in many manufacturing and assembly operations, most often in manufacturing of electronic printed circuit boards. A flying probe tester uses one or more test probes to make ...
The following items are used for basic measurement of voltages, currents, and components in the circuit under test. Voltmeter (Measures voltage) Ohmmeter (Measures resistance) Ammeter, e.g. Galvanometer or Milliammeter (Measures current) Multimeter e.g., VOM (Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter) or DMM (Digital Multimeter) (Measures all of the above)
While in-circuit test is a very powerful tool for testing PCBs, it has these limitations: Parallel components can often only be tested as one component if the components are of the same type (i.e. two resistors); though different components in parallel may be testable using a sequence of different tests - e.g. a DC voltage measurement versus a measurement of AC injection current at a node.
A curve tracer is a specialised piece of electronic test equipment used to analyze the characteristics of discrete electronic components, such as diodes, transistors, thyristors, and vacuum tubes. The device contains voltage and current sources that can be used to stimulate the device under test (DUT).
The KiCad schematic editor has features including hierarchical schematic sheets, custom symbol creation, electrical rules check and integrated ngspice circuit simulation. Schematic symbols are very loosely coupled to circuit board footprints to encourage reuse of footprints and symbols (e.g. a single 0805 footprint can be used for capacitors ...
A kit is a set of components that has to be assembled by the buyer or at the site of use to get the definitive product. Examples: Electronic kit, a package of electrical components used to build an electronic device. Kit car ("component car"), an automobile that the buyer assembles into a functioning car; Kit bike; Folding kayak; Tent
Schematic capture or schematic entry is a step in the design cycle of electronic design automation (EDA) at which the electronic diagram, or electronic schematic of the designed electronic circuit, is created by a designer. This is done interactively with the help of a schematic capture tool also known as schematic editor. [1]
