EveryCircuit

I stumbled upon an amazing app called EveryCircuit that takes circuit design to a whole new level of interactivity. With this app, you can build any circuit and watch dynamic voltage, current, and charge animations. This allows you to gain insight into circuit operation in a way that equations can't provide. You can even adjust circuit parameters in real time with an analog knob and generate input signals with your finger. This level of interactivity and innovation is not found in other circuit simulation tools for PC.

But EveryCircuit is more than just eye candy. It has a custom-built simulation engine that is optimized for mobile use and uses serious numerical methods and realistic device models. This means that all the important concepts like Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's current and voltage laws, and nonlinear semiconductor device equations are included.

The app also has a growing library of components, giving you the freedom to design any analog or digital circuit, from a simple voltage divider to a complex transistor-level masterpiece. The schematic editor features automatic wire routing and a minimalistic user interface, making it easy to use and increasing productivity.

EveryCircuit is a must-have companion for high school science and physics students, electrical engineering college students, breadboard and PCB enthusiasts, and ham radio hobbyists. It is free to download and use, but there is an option to purchase the full version for $14.99. This allows you to build and simulate larger circuits, save unlimited circuits, store them on the cloud, and sync between devices. The app also requires permission to access your account for authentication in the EveryCircuit community.

The app offers various analyses, including DC analysis, AC analysis with frequency sweep, and transient analysis. It also has a growing public library of community circuits, animations of voltage waveforms and current flows, and animations of capacitor charges. Other features include an analog control knob, an oscilloscope, seamless DC and transient simulation, and a single play/pause button to control the simulation.

EveryCircuit has a wide range of components, including sources, signal generators, resistors, capacitors, inductors, transformers, and various measurement tools. It also has digital logic gates, flip-flops, latches, relays, and other advanced components. The app is designed with an intuitive user interface and has no ads, making it a user-friendly and distraction-free experience.
