Learning electronics on your own?

I'm just learning electronics on my own (such as taking an online course, reading books, or other self-study).

Great! Simply join with our CircuitLab Micro (limited to 10 items per schematic) or CircuitLab Hacker Lite (unlimited!) membership using the button above.

Is your school registered?

My school, college, or university is already a member of the CircuitLab Academic Institution Program. (See list.)

Great! Your school pays us for a site-wide license membership, so you can get free access to CircuitLab Student Edition using the button above once you've confirmed your official email address.
My university does not yet have a site license membership.

Any school, college, or university is able to participate, including graduate programs, undergraduate departments, high schools, and more. Contact your instructor or department and ask them to sign up for the CircuitLab Academic Institution Program, a site-wide membership which gives all students, staff, and faculty unlimited access to CircuitLab Student Edition.

In the meantime, you may sign up for the CircuitLab Micro or CircuitLab Hacker Lite membership using the button above.
I don't have an official school email address.

No problem. Simply join with our CircuitLab Micro or CircuitLab Hacker Lite membership using the button above.

Continue your electronics journey with our growing library of video tutorials.

We've also gathered curriculum resources that cover lots of electronics topics from beginner to advanced.

Dive deep into theory and practice with our interactive textbook.

Interactive Electronics Textbook New!

Master the analysis and design of electronic systems with CircuitLab's free, interactive, online electronics textbook.

Open: Ultimate Electronics: Practical Circuit Design and Analysis

Mike, co-founder of CircuitLab

Hey there, I'm Mike! Nice to meet you.

The reality is that CircuitLab has grown to be quite popular. In just the last thirty days, y’all have run 376,989 simulations and used CircuitLab for 16,421.20 hours. Wow! (Hit refresh — these stats update every 60 seconds )

As a result, it takes substantial time and talent to develop, maintain, and support our infrastructure 24/7. Paid individual memberships (plus academic site licenses sold to schools and universities) keep CircuitLab up and running.

CircuitLab membership also allows you to:

save unlimited circuits to the CircuitLab Cloud and access them from all your devices
run unlimited circuit simulations anywhere, anytime
export sharp presentation-quality schematics as PDF/PNG/SVG/EPS
enjoy an ad-free, easy-to-use software experience

As many of our users are still learning electronics, we’re also building the first online, interactive electronics textbook: Ultimate Electronics: Practical Circuit Design and Analysis which includes hundreds of CircuitLab example circuits and simulations. It's included with your CircuitLab membership.

Choose a membership level that works best for you. Thank you and welcome!

“Smart Wires” Technology:
Build your schematic faster than ever before with our unique, intelligent Smart Wires technology for connecting terminals and rearranging components.

Proprietary CircuitLab simulation engine

Proprietary Simulation Engine:
An extended-precision numerical solver core plus an advanced mixed-mode event-driven simulation engine makes it easy to get simulations running quickly.

Presentation-Quality Schematics:
Print sharp, beautiful vector PDFs of your schematics, plus export to PNG, EPS, or SVG for including schematics in design documents or deliverables.

Powerful Plotting Engine:
Work with multiple signals easily with configurable plotting windows, vertical and horizontal markers, and calculations on signals. Export plot images for inclusion in design documents.

Rapid Symbol Creation:
Draw generic rectangular symbols for IC or system-level wiring diagrams with just a few clicks.

Behavioral Sources & Expressions:
Experiment and iterate rapidly with programmable algebraic sources and expressions. See documentation

“ CircuitLab is the best editor I have ever used. Bug-free design, excellent simulation. Well done. No more using LTSpice. ”
