    >>18292047 Very good cool program! Can simulate PIC microcontrollers as well as Arduino and any digital ones. Very popular in education in Latin America and Spain, just don't know why not in Poland.

    >>18292416 as for me super, the best, because it can simulate the behaviour of digital circuits, microcontrollers and Arduino

Topic summary

The discussion centers on various circuit simulation software suitable for both amateurs and professionals, emphasizing the importance of virtual prototyping to avoid costly design errors before physical fabrication. LTspice is highly recommended for its robustness, free availability, and compatibility with Linux via Wine. Other notable simulators include Multisim (National Instruments), TINA (including the free TINA-TI version), QUCS and its enhanced QUCS-S variant supporting multiple SPICE engines, and SPISIM for signal integrity and power integrity analysis across multiple platforms. Proteus VSM is recognized for its advanced microcontroller simulation at the binary level but criticized for complexity and high cost. Free and simple tools like Falstad Circuit Simulator, CircuitLab (with limited free use), Electronics Workbench by Blastsoft, and Micro-Cap 12 (recently made free) are also mentioned. For digital circuit simulation, tools such as TTL2000, Simulak, TkGate, and logisim-evolution are suggested. The new QSpice simulator, developed by the LTspice creator, offers faster performance and supports component creation in C++ and Verilog. The discussion also touches on language preferences for software interfaces, with a consensus on the predominance of English in technical tools. Overall, the thread provides a comprehensive overview of simulation options, balancing cost, complexity, platform compatibility, and feature sets, including analog, digital, and mixed-signal capabilities.
