Yenka Digital Electronics

Yenka Digital Electronics is a powerful simulator which lets you design circuits using digital electronic components, including logic gates, counters, decoders, shift registers, buffers and drivers.

Developed using the acclaimed Crocodile Clips electronic simulation engine, both 4000 and 7400 series components are on offer.

User-friendly schematic editing

Using a brand new version of the Crocodile Clips engine, Yenka Digital Electronics has been refined to make electronic design more straightforward - even for less experienced users.

For example, drag a component onto a wire, and it will be automatically inserted; no need to delete old wires or draw new ones. Drop it on an existing component, and it'll replace that component.

The interface refinements make whiteboard work easier, too. The toolbar, parts library and editing panels can all be moved, or even hidden away completely - to let you use the full screen. Customised topics refine the component libraries, so that you only see the parts you need.
