NanoTekSpice: A Digital Logic Simulation Tool

Overview

LogicCraft Simulator is a powerful digital logic simulation tool designed for educational and engineering purposes. It allows users to build and analyze the behavior of digital electronic components through a configurable graph. This simulator is capable of handling various digital components, including logic gates (AND, OR, XOR, etc.), special components like clocks, memory, and even supports undefined states beyond the basic boolean logic to more accurately mimic real digital electronics.

Usage

To use LogicCraft Simulator, first compile the source code using CMake and then run the simulator with a circuit configuration file as an argument.

./build/NanoTekSpice examples/basic_and_gate.nts

Compilation with CMake

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Example configuration for a basic AND gate circuit

.chipsets:
input a
input b
and_gate and0
output s

.links:
a:1 and0:1
b:1 and0:2
and0:3 s:1

Output

> a=1
> b=0
> simulate
> display
tick: 1
input(s):
a: 1
b: 0
output(s):
s: 0
