Powerful Electronics Simulation Software for Hobbyists and Professionals
Electronics Workbench is a versatile tool for circuit design, testing, and analysis.
Electronics Workbench (EWB) 5.12
Electronics Workbench (EWB) is circuit simulation software for designing, simulating, and analyzing electronic circuits in a virtual environment, without the need for physical components. It is aimed at students, hobbyists, and professionals who want to check circuit behavior before building a prototype.
Circuits are assembled with click-and-drag operations. The component library includes resistors, capacitors, transistors, integrated circuits, and microcontrollers, and the software can simulate microcontroller activity within a circuit. Real-time voltage and current waveforms are displayed during simulation, and built-in multimeter and oscilloscope instruments support measurement.
- Real-time voltage and current waveforms during simulation
- Time-domain and frequency-domain analysis
- Built-in multimeter and oscilloscope instruments
- Debugging and error-checking tools for identifying design faults
- PCB design with autorouting and interactive 3D visualization of circuits
- Import and export options for several file formats
Tutorials, help files, and support materials are provided for users who are new to the software. The interface is designed for users with varying levels of experience, and the program runs on Windows 7 or later with a 1 GHz processor, 2 GB of RAM, and 10 GB of free disk space. An internet connection is required for download and updates.
