iCircuit Electronics Simulator is an electronic simulation tool. Here, you can realistically simulate real-world circuits like a Rubik's Cube, adding various devices including signal generators, electronics, diodes, and more. This allows you to understand whether certain combinations or device setups will successfully power on the circuit without physically touching it. Similar to a CAD program, you can add elements, set their properties, and read and adjust circuit data at any time, providing a convenient and quick way to understand numerical changes. Furthermore, the user-friendly interface makes it easy for even beginners to learn, and you can export icons to share with others at any time.

Features
The iCircuit electronic simulator enables real-time analog and digital simulations with adjustable parameters.
A virtual oscilloscope and multimeter for dynamic signal measurements.
An interactive schematic editor supporting drag-and-drop components and wiring.
SPICE-inspired component behavior for learning and basic prototyping.
Save, load, and share circuit files for labs and course assignments.
Highlights
Usage is the same as any CAD program: add elements, connect them together, and set their properties.
Unlike other CAD programs, iCircuit is always in simulation mode. It's like operating a real circuit. You don't need to stop to take measurements or spend a lot of time configuring reports. Instead, you can simply operate the circuit as usual, with it powered on!
You can build circuits using over 30 components. The application includes a wide range of components, from simple resistors, switches, and MOSFETs to digital gates.
The application has a built-in multimeter for probing circuits and instantly reading voltage and current. If you want to see how a value changes over time, you can add the value to the built-in oscilloscope. The oscilloscope can track multiple signals simultaneously over time and features a touch interface for controlling the total time displayed and stacked/non-stacked modes, making it easy to compare signals.
