KiCad (/ ˈ k iː ˌ k æ d / KEE-kad [7]) is a free software suite for electronic design automation (EDA). It facilitates the design and simulation of electronic hardware for PCB manufacturing. It features an integrated environment for schematic capture, PCB layout, manufacturing file viewing, ngspice-provided SPICE simulation, and
Element files and libraries that can contain whole sub-layouts, metric grids; Up to 16 copper layer designs by default; Trace optimizer; Rats nest; Connectivity verification; Can interoperate with free schematic capture tools such as gEDA and XCircuit; GNU autoconf/automake based build system; PCB is Free Software
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.
Dia has special objects to help draw entity-relationship models, Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams, flowcharts, network diagrams, and simple electrical circuits. It is also possible to add support for new shapes by writing simple XML files, using a subset of Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) to draw the shape.
EAGLE is a scriptable electronic design automation (EDA) application with schematic capture, printed circuit board (PCB) layout, auto-router and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) features. EAGLE stands for Easily Applicable Graphical Layout Editor (German: Einfach Anzuwendender Grafischer Layout-Editor) and is developed by CadSoft Computer GmbH.
Fritzing's schematic view. The software was created with inspiration from the Processing programming language and the Arduino microcontroller [6] and allows a designer, artist, researcher, or hobbyist to document their Arduino-based prototype and create a PCB layout for manufacturing.
CircuitMaker is electronic design automation software for printed circuit board designs, for the hobby, hacker, and maker community. [1] [2] CircuitMaker is available as freeware, and the hardware designed with it may be used for commercial and non-commercial purposes without limitations. [3]
The software includes several automated tools to aid in PCB design: Autoplacer and Autorouter : These tools facilitate the automatic routing of the PCB layout. Design Rule Check (DRC) : This feature checks the design for short circuits and other violations of predefined design rules, such as minimum distances and drill diameters.
