Modern designers — especially for digital circuits — prefer to use some kind of hardware description language. There are a few options to do similar things with PCB layout, including tscircuit.

KiCAD combines three things, a Schematic editor, PCB editor, and 3-D viewer to create schematics, design PCB circuits, ... rectifiers, resistors, etc so that you can create any circuit.

The circuit was compared to a popular KBU8B silicon diode rectifier. At an input voltage of 5 V rms at 50 Hz and a constant load of 5 A dc, the KBU8B’s output was 4.45 V dc, average, measured ...

I came across an article on PCB layout in Electronic Design magazine. It’s a pretty good article and I am glad to see the trade magazines realize we care as much about PCB layout as the bus-caching ...

March 05, 2014 -- EasyEDA launches a free, zero-install, Web and cloud-based EDA tool suite, integrating powerful schematic capture, mixed-mode circuit simulation and PCB layout in a seamless ...
