logic simulator recommendations

[Mike]

Hi, I'm taking a digital logic class and I'd like to use a logic
simulator to visualize circuit states (clocks, flip-flop outputs,
register, etc). Can anyone recommend a good (preferably free) simulator
for this purpose?

Thanks.

Hi!

SIMetrix has a general purpose simulator for analog as well as digital
circuits. The demo will work for your needs though the circuit size is
limited.

Download @ http://www.catena.co.uk

I get a 403 http error. Is there another place where I can download it?

Go to www.altera.com and download the Quartus web edition. It is free (but
you will have to register).

You can enter your logic via schematic, compile for a selected device and
then do a full waveform simulation.

If you are serious about logic design for the future it would really be
worth your while coming to grips with this free software as it simulates for
the real world.

If you want a quick solution then this may be too complicated for you, but
please have a look.

I use Digital Works to test my CPU designs. It used to be sold by
mecanique (www.mecanique.co.uk) but they no longer sell it nor make it
available for download. There is still a copy of version 3.04 at:

http://www.electronics-lab.com/downloads/schematic/002/index.html

But I don't use this version. Instead I use the freeware version (2.0)
available at:

http://www.spsu.edu/cs/faculty/bbrown/circuits/howto.html

As far as I can tell the only real difference between version 2.0 and
version 3.0 is that version 3.0 is no longer freeware. Also, files
created in version 3.0 are not compatible with version 2.0.

What I like about Digital Works is that the RAM/ROM object has a built
in, easy to use hex editor. Otherwise, if I don't need to use RAM or
ROM I prefer Logisim:

http://ozark.hendrix.edu/~burch/logisim/

which is even nicer for complex designs because it supports busses. But
its RAM/ROM interface sucks.

I use pads of 4-to-the-inch blue-lined paper and a roller-ball pen.
OK, sometimes on tricky designs I start with pencil.

Hi Mike,

I'm truly sorry for that. Yes, that link you gave is correct.

If you're not going to use a newsreader to access Usenet,
it's important to realize that most folks DO.
