KiCad is a powerful software suite designed for creating and developing electronic circuits, enabling users to visualize and design printed circuit boards (PCBs) through interactive viewing. As part of the Electronics Design Automation (EDA) category, it offers a robust set of tools for building complex circuit diagrams, utilizing extensive electronic component databases while also ensuring the adherence to Electrical Rules Check (ERC).
This versatile software includes free applications, open templates, and libraries to facilitate the design process. Users can craft professional-grade PCB layouts with support for up to 32 copper layers, and it features a push-to-shove router for differential pair routing, along with an interactive track-length adjustment tool.
KiCad also boasts a built-in 3D viewer powered by OpenGL, allowing for a comprehensive visualization of designs beyond simple 2D representations. Key features include a project manager, schematic editor (EESchema), PCB editor (PCBnew), footprint editing tools, Gerber viewer (Gerbview), and a component selection tool (CVPCB), all complemented by a convenient text editor for logs and reports.
