CLUSTER CIRCUITS-LOGIC-DIGITAL · 12 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2005-04-17

digital logic circuit simulators

This cluster consists of desktop applications for designing and simulating digital logic and analog electronic circuits, targeted at students, hobbyists, and educational use. The dated entries span from April 2005 to March 2026 with a thin, sporadic distribution—there are gaps of years between entries, with small batches in 2022–2023 and 2025. Traction as measured by stars is minimal, with issie, Qucs-S, and GTKWave each showing 0 stars, making them the most prominent by this signal.
