Design Electronic Circuit Software

If we want to create an electronic circuit, the first thing done is to construct a circuit board on the project in order to alter the value and its components. Then after it obtained the proper circuit so that the circuit is not disturbed, we designed it on the PCB board.

There are many of software used to design electronic circuits. Here we will discuss two software are often used to design electronic circuits, both in making the circuit schematic and PCB layout.

1. Eagle

Eagle is a popular software in designing electronic circuits. In the eagle there are schematic and PCB layout design. In the latest version of the eagle, Eagle V6 has been there Autorouter feature to run the simulation.

2. Proteus
In addition to designing electronic circuits, Proteus can also run a simulation on a design that was built, by pressing the play button on the design that has been created then the simulation runs.

The difference between these two software are:

1. In designing the circuit schematic, easier to use Proteus. Necessary components are easy to find in Proteus, so the job drawing schematic more quickly resolved.
2. In designing the PCB layout easier to use the eagle as it's easier to set the components used. In the eagle there also present conversion schematic to the PCB board or board to the schematic if we begin by drawing a schematic or board.
3. If our purpose in running simulation circuits, easier to use Proteus.
4. Eagle has a 3D-visualization features, these features can make real form (3D) of the components that are designed on the PCB, so using Eagle for the purpose of making a PCB layout more attractive.
