CircuitLab
CircuitLab, formerly known as Pantelligent, is a B2B company based in Redwood City, CA, offering an online circuit simulator and electronic schematic editor primarily for electrical engineers, students, and electronics hobbyists.
History
CircuitLab, previously known as Pantelligent, was part of the Winter 2013 batch at Y-Combinator. The company has since evolved from its original name and now operates out of Redwood City, CA, USA, while also supporting remote work and a fully remote team. The organization has concentrated on providing tools and resources in the B2B sector, specifically within engineering, product, and design sub-industries.
Products
CircuitLab offers an online circuit simulator and electronic schematic editor designed for electrical engineers, students, and electronics hobbyists. The tool is accessible via Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox browsers, and it also supports iPad usage through Mobile Safari. Circuit simulations run locally in the user's web browser and can function offline if installed via the Chrome Web Store. The platform enables users to create, analyze, and share electronic circuits, allowing public linking and the generation of schematic PNGs and PDFs.
Subscription Plans and Licenses
CircuitLab provides a variety of subscription plans, including renewing and one-time options, along with site-wide, floating, and group licenses for organizations. Educational institutions can access the CircuitLab Student Edition free-of-charge for students, staff, and faculty with valid EDU email addresses. Additionally, there is a deeply discounted CircuitLab Micro plan available for student use. These options ensure flexibility and affordability for both educational and professional users.
Key Features
CircuitLab's platform includes several advanced features such as support for arbitrary behavioral voltage and current sources, piecewise linear (PWL) and piecewise step (PWS) sources for constructing voltage and current input waveforms, and custom IC or connector pin-out schematics for display purposes. Users can also make their circuits public and generate URLs for direct sharing. Furthermore, the service generates schematic PNGs and PDFs hosted on CircuitLab servers.
Support and Community
CircuitLab supports its user community with a Q&A site where electronics and electrical engineering students, hobbyists, and professionals can ask and answer questions. This collaborative environment fosters learning and sharing of knowledge, enhancing the value of the CircuitLab platform for its users.
