Rework and repair tools, soldering guns and irons and accessories. Desoldering Stations, Hot Air Stations, Portasol Irons/Hot Air Tools (Cordless Butane). They also have Soldering Gun Kits and Cleaning Tools.
If built and tested programmer properly setup for your PC, you can program a wide range of tested chips from many different manufacturers easy, reliable and fast. With adapters dip 42, dip 40, plcc 32, tsop 32, 40, 48, psop 44 package chips are also supported, the 4.0 and 4.5 board programmers have adapters on board to make it even more convenient. Building it with a factory made board or a kit is not difficult if you have some experience with electronics. The software is easy to use and has all the functions you need.
An integrated circuit simulator. Sketch the circuit and simulate the large-signal, small-signal and noise behavior of the circuit. After that simulation has finished you can generate and display the simulation results on the presentation output page.
An open source USB programmer for PIC micros, I2C EEPROMs, some ATMEL micros, generic I2C/SPI devices and (soon) other devices.
"After searching a while I couldn't find an USB programmer which was at the same time functional, free, and open source, so I decided to design one. Open source means that all sources and schematics are given free of charge with the rights to modify and release them." - Alberto Maccioni
Custom IC layout, Schematic Capture, Languages such as VHDL and Verilog. An Open-source Electronic Design Automation, EDA. Electric VLSI uses connectivity for all design, even Integrated Circuit layout. This means that you place components (MOS transistors, contacts, etc.) and draw wires (metal-2, polysilicon, etc.) to connect them. The screen shows the true geometry, but it knows the connectivity too.
The latest version of the popular and powerful mixed mode simulator builds upon B2 Spice A/D v4's powerful capabilities to reach new standards in ease-of-use, power, and capabilities. Virtual Instruments - oscilloscope, ammeter, voltmeter, wattmeter, distortion meters. Curve Tracer to plot the behavior of a device before you place it in your circuit.
B2 Spice v.5 Circuit Simulation Software
