LoCAD

LoCAD is a software for designing and simulating digital circuits. Special emphasis is given to simple creation and graphical visualization of a circuit's functioning. The inputs and outputs of the elements can be wired quite simply. Usually, two clicks are sufficient. The system searches a convenient way by itself.

In the simulation, you can watch the current flow and thus follow the cycle of state changes. This way, your understanding of a circuit's functioning is enhanced, and your perception of circuit faults is improved. It is possible to produce your own elements (ICs) with discretionary levels of nesting. Like this, you can build big and complex circuits in a clearly arranged way. During the simulation, you can watch the state changes in all ICs.

A detailed introduction facilitates your familiarization with the software. In the free version, the number of usable elements is reduced to 9 elements per circuit. The full version removes the restriction.

Note: This application contains in-app and/or external module purchases.

• The book "How computers work - Introduction to basic principles of computer hardware" announced in version 2.1 is now available in the Book Store. Among other things, it explains how the individual components can be interconnected to form functional units. In the submenu of LoCAD it can be viewed in extracts or purchased directly.
• Minor bug fixes and stability improvements.
