Logisim

Tool specialized in the design of digital circuit boards.

Electric circuit board design and simulation tools are essential for anybody that work in the electronic field. One of the best tools for this purpose is beyond any doubt Pspice, capable of analyzing both analog as well as digital circuit board. Nevertheless, if you want to learn about digital circuit boards you can use a free application like Logisim.

Excellent educational tool to design digital circuit boards.

Digital circuits base their behavior on the principles of Boolean algebra and are materialized by using logic gates, also known as binary logic gates due to the fact that they work with binary numbers (1,0). Logisim allows the possibility to build all types of digital circuits, ranging from the most simple to the most complex.

For this purpose, this program gathers in its interface all the necessary elements, from basic logic gates (AND, OR, NOT) to other computer circuits that are generally used (parity detector, multiplexer, adder, comparator,... ).

Elements included in the Ligisim interface

• Conductors and associated devices (ground, tension source,...).
• Logic gates, basic and compound (AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, XOR, XNOR,...).
• Different varieties of plexers: multiplexer, demultiplexer, decoder, bit selector, etc.
• Arithmetic circuits: adder, operational amplifier, multiplier, divider, comparator, etc.
• Memories (bistable D, bistable T, bistable J-K, bistable S-R, counter, registry,...).
• Different input and output, like LED, keyboard, joystick and 7 segment display.

To sum up, Logisim is a excellent option to understand the logic of circuit boards and understand the principles of Boolean algebra. download Lodisim free and easily design your own digital circuits.
