About LTspice
Its graphical schematic capture interface allows you to probe schematics and produce simulation results, which can be explored further through the built-in waveform viewer. The key to most circuit designs is the speed with which you can reach an understanding of your circuit, its correctness, and its limitations. LTspice outperforms many other simulation tools and enables you to iterate your designs in minimal time. Keyboard shortcuts are an alternate way to invoke one or more commands in LTspice that would otherwise only be accessible by clicking through the menu or toolbar. Our extensive collection of technical resources tackles a wide range of LTspice topics. Learn how to use transformers, add third-party models, create, work with symbols, and more.

TopSpice
TopSpice is a true analog/digital/behavioral mixed-mode circuit simulator for the PC. It offers the most advanced SPICE simulator in its price range, compatibility, an easy to use integrated design environment from schematic capture to graphical waveform analysis, and full 64-bit operation for faster performance and larger memory space. With TopSpice you have the choice to design from schematic drawings, text netlist (SPICE) files, or both. All design and simulation functions are available from either the schematic or netlist editor front-ends. TopSpice includes a native full-featured mixed-mode mixed-signal circuit simulator capable of simulating circuits containing any arbitrary combination of analog devices, digital functions and high-level behavioral blocks. With TopSpice you can verify and optimize your design from the system to the transistor level.

EveryCircuit
One animated circuit is worth a thousand equations and diagrams. Animations of voltages, currents, and charges are displayed right on top of the schematic, providing great insight into circuit operation. The real-time circuit simulation engine is custom-built for speed and interactivity. Easy one-click simulation, from simple resistors and logic gates to complex transistor-level oscillators and mixed-signal designs. While the simulation is running, you can flip switches, adjust potentiometers, tune LED current limiting resistors, ramp up input voltages, etc. The circuit will immediately respond to your changes, in real time. Mini-waveforms on top of schematic wires look different for digital and analog signals. Constant analog voltages are shown as numbers, digital wires are color-coded. Any pair of time-domain signals may be plotted in the XY mode. The oscilloscope scale and grid ticks are auto-updated to convenient values as the data changes.

KiCad EDA
With the schematic editor you can create your design without limit, there are no paywalls to unlock features. An official library for schematic symbols and a built-in schematic symbol editor help you get started quickly with your designs. Make professional PCB layouts with up to 32 copper layers. KiCad now has a push and shove router which is capable of routing differential pairs and interactively tuning trace lengths. KiCad includes a 3D viewer which you can use to inspect your design in an interactive canvas. You can rotate and pan around to inspect details that are difficult to inspect on a 2D view. Multiple rendering options allow you to modify the aesthetic appearance of the board or to hide and show features for easier inspection. KiCad’s schematic capture is efficient, with all the tools you can expect for such a task. The interface focuses on productivity. There are no complexity limits, as large designs can be divided into hierarchical subsheets.
