About this app

This is a free version, which contains ads. The "PRO" version without ads is named "ECStudio". The full documentation is available at ecstudiosystems.com/help
There you can see that labels (grey border boxes) can be moved and switches can be switched using long tapping, etc. We also recommend to view the Screencast Tutorial on our YouTube channel.

Electric Circuit Studio is a set of tools used for building electronic circuits, SPICE simulation, and calculation of circuits. These tools are complemented by the information center containing resources, connector pinouts and short interactive book explaining basic electrical theorems, laws and circuits. It is a useful application for all electronics hobbyists, students, or other people with an interest in electronics.

• Schematic editor and SPICE simulator
These tools allow easy creation of circuit diagrams and SPICE analysis of the created circuits. The simulator is focused on visual representation of simulated results, such that simulated voltages and currents can be placed elsewhere in the circuit, as a text or graph. Moreover, the magnitude and polarity of voltages and currents can be represented by visual indicators, so you can check the results quickly. All results can be additionally displayed on the top plot, where they can be explored using two cursors.

DC, AC and Transient analyses are supported.

The simulation can be run repeatedly (in Transient analysis) and results can be displayed consecutively with a user controlled speed (in all analysis types), or all simulation results are displayed immediately. When the results are shown consecutively, you can control parameters of circuit elements by the seek bar and see the change of results in real time.

In AC analysis, you can display the magnitude, real value, imaginary value and phase of voltages and currents.

The schematic editor supports undo and redo and also working with several selected elements. All elements except wires allow proper rotation and flipping of the text inside elements.

Supported elements: wire, ground, resistor, capacitor, polarized capacitor, inductor, DC voltage source, pulse source, sinusoidal source, DC current source, text, picture, diode, zener diode, LED, transistors (NPN, PNP, NMOS, PMOS, NJFET, PJFET), logic gates (NOT, AND, NAND, OR, NOR, XOR, XNOR), SR latch, D flip-flop, T flip-flop, JK flip-flop, operational amplifier, 555 timer, LM317, LM337, 7805, 7905, VCVS, VCCS, CCVS, CCCS, potentiometer, transformer, switch SPST, switch SPDT, open push-button, closed push-button, relay SPST, relay SPDT, crossover.

Screenshots and exporting the whole circuit are also supported.
Wires are drawn using autorouting or they can be drawn manually using single-segment lines.

Ratings and reviews

The user interface is good enough but needs improvement. 1. No option to search components instead we have to slide through the bottom menu. 2. Very few components available. No option to search components on an online basis like cloud or something so that we could download and use specific required component plugins. 3. No option to change the value of current we get from the power source! Why only voltage can be changed and current cannot??? That's the biggest downside of this app!!!

It's very useful, it has some animations at the moment of the simulation to see how currents goes. For me the best thing is that you can see charts and plot the signals along the simulation. It is very interesting and useful. However, it was difficult to me to understand how the plots works and how can I Select the variable I would like to see. It's an awesome app

Excellent work! Still new to all of this but I have a new found passion for electronics. This app has helped prototype some ideas whilst keeping things simple enough for me to understand and not feel too overwhelmed. Great work flow. Easy to use. The ability to see extra information about current flow, etc. helps guide me when I'm trying to grasp more difficult concepts. Not too many adds either. (please keep it that way for others) I will definitely go premium. 👌
