A multiplatform vector drawing program with a complete library of electronic symbols. Schematics and drawings are stored in a very compact text format. There is no netlist concept behind the drawings (so no simulation, and this is a choice) but this allows a great graphical flexibility and ease of use, making FidoCadJ the perfect tool for exchange sketches in forum and newsgroup discussions with a few clicks. Drawings can be exported in several graphic formats, such as pdf. Follow the development live on Twitter: https://twitter.com/davbucci

GHDL is the leading open source VHDL simulator. *** Now on github.com/tgingold/ghdl *** We have binary distributions for Debian Linux, Mac OSX and Windows. On other systems, getting GHDL from here means downloading the current source package and building GHDL from source. Alternatively you can get the latest source version (warning : occasionally unstable!) by pulling a snapshot from the git repository.

Compiles and works under Linux, Windows and MacOS. Source code is available in "git" and as ZIP snapshot. For more information see README.md

KTechlab is an IDE for microcontrollers and electronics.

TimingEditor is a tool to graphically draw and edit timing diagrams.

Xschem is a schematic capture program, it allows to create a hierarchical representation of circuits with a top down approach . By focusing on interconnections, hierarchy and properties a complex system (IC) can be described in terms of simpler building blocks. A VHDL, Verilog or Spice netlist can be generated from the drawn schematic, allowing the simulation of the circuit. Key feature of the program is its drawing engine written in C and using directly the Xlib drawing primitives; this gives top speed performance, even on very big circuits. I have succesfully managed to simulate complete VLSI projects with this tool, both digital (Verilog / VHDL) and analog (Spice). Schematics can be printed in SVG, PNG, PDF, formats. XSCHEM runs on Linux or other Unix-likes with Xorg server and on Windows with the Cygwin layer and required tools installed. Can be found also on github: https://github.com/StefanSchippers/xschem

Sparse is a direct method solver for the large sparse matrices that are associated with electrical circuit simulation. It uses LU factorization and handles both real and complex square matrices.It is intended to solve many matrices with the same structure

DLD V 2.0 Released Digital Logic Design is a Software tool for designing and simulating digital circuits. It provides digital parts ranging from simple gates to Arithmetic Logic Unit. You may start your circuit from simple gates and flipflops and keep on converting them into ICs. These ICs, later on, may be incorporated into other circuits to built more complex circuits like CPU. You may even use SOP expressions to generate digital circuits in IC form. You can use this software to design Combinational, Synchronous and Asynchronous Sequential Circuits. The circuit working can be analyzed by using output parts like LEDs, Seven Segment Display as well as CRT and digital Oscilloscope all provided in the software. This Software may be used by professionals, hobbyists and students alike. The teachers may incorporate this software in their courses like Digital Logic and Computer Design, Computer Architecture, Computer Organization and Embedded Systems.

ADMS is a code generator that converts electrical compact device models specified in high-level description language into ready-to-compile c code for the API of spice simulators. Repository migrated to: https://github.com/Qucs/ADMS For checkout do: git clone https://github.com/Qucs/ADMS.git

A graphical tool for designing finite state machines and exporting them to Hardware Description Languages, such as VHDL, AHDL, Verilog, or Ragel/SMC files for C, C++, Objective-C, Java, Python, PHP, Perl, Lua code generation.

GNU SPICE GUI provides a GUI front-end for various freely available electronic circuit simulation engines ie. NG-SPICE and GNU-CAP. It's core function is to generate simulation engine instructions based on user input. However, it also offers extra functionality via applications and utilities developed by others. Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tool suites are used to provide schematic capture and editing, and schematic to netlist conversion. Waveform data viewers are used to display simulation results and PDF viewers to display user manuals.

JMCAD is an program for the modeling and simulation of complex dynamic systems. This includes the ability to construct and simulate block diagrams. The visual block diagram interface offers a simple method for constructing, modifying and maintaining complex system models. The simulation engine provides fast and accurate solutions for linear, nonlinear, continuous time, discrete time, time varying and hybrid system designs. With JMCAD, users can quickly develop software or "virtual" prototypes of systems or processes to demonstrate their behavior prior to building physical prototypes. The user builds his system model by selecting predefined blocks from a block library and simply wiring the blocks together. Each block of the diagram performs a function. Users can also create custom blocks in Java and add them to the JMCAD block library. JMCAD is a block diagram language for creating complex nonlinear dynamic systems.

MMTL, the Multilayer Multiconductor Transmission Line 2-D and 2.5-D electromagnetic modeling tool suite, generates transmission parameters and SPICE models from descriptions of electronics interconnect dimensions and materials properties.
