Happy Birthday, CircuitLab community!
It was exactly one year ago that we launched CircuitLab for public use. In just this one short year, CircuitLab has grown to power a vibrant community of students, hobbyists, and professional engineers. In just the last 30 days, over 70,000 people have used our software and ran more than half a million circuit simulations! That’s almost enough people to fill AT&T Park twice!

Thank you for using CircuitLab. We look forward to serving you for many years to come!
The CircuitLab team is excited to announce a new partnership with UBM Tech, the electronics industry-leading resource for essential business and technical information and the parent of leading publications including EETimes and EDN.
At CircuitLab, our mission is to make powerful, easy-to-use engineering tools available to the widest possible global audience of electrical engineers, academics, and electronics enthusiasts. We are looking forward to working with a partner that supports this mission and will enable us to continue to deliver and grow a great software experience to our ever-growing community of CircuitLab users.
“Our strategic partnership with CircuitLab brings together the global leader in electronics media and marketing solutions with next-generation electronics design software and supports our strategy of scaling know-how among a community of engineers,” said David Blaza, VP Sales and Business Development, Electronics, UBM Tech.
"We are excited to partner with UBM Tech to help us bring the next-generation of EDA software to every electrical engineer around the world," said CircuitLab founder Mike Robbins.

The new third edition of "Practical Electronics for Inventors", by Paul Scherz and Simon Monk, was just published last month. Our team was pleasantly surprised to discover that the book features CircuitLab as recommended electronics software, and even includes a brief walkthrough with screenshots!
We just received our copy, and it’s an impressive 1000+ page volume, starting from basic theory and flowing into hands-on practical circuit design. It covers everything from basic transistor circuits to op-amps, digital logic, motor control, component selection, and how-to prototyping tips. The book would be a great fit for a hands-on electronics course at the undergraduate or high school level, or for hobbyists looking for a comprehensive getting started guide and lab reference. (And, of course, CircuitLab would be a great tool for exploring many of the concepts in the book!) For a more in-depth book review, also see Wired's "Geekdad" blog.
Paperback and Kindle editions of "Practical Electronics for Inventors" are now available from Amazon.com.
CircuitLab is an in-browser schematic capture and circuit simulation software tool to help you rapidly design and analyze analog and digital electronics systems.
