A circuit design software forms a very essential part of an electronics engineers life. A good tool allows you to build designs and checks for problems with the design at regular intervals. It is also easy to navigate with sufficient options available for optimum circuit design. All these and many more features are available in today’s EDA tools, but often these tools cost a lot for engineers. Hence engineers are always looking for alternatives to use.
If you are an engineer looking for free alternatives for your circuit design software, then you have come to the right place. Here we bring to you 6 helpful software which are strong in features and soft on pocket. Build awesome circuits!
