Hi there, and welcome to the Tools portion of EEWeb. I started to experiment with electronics way back in the mists of time when I was about 14 years old. I cannot count the hours I spent with a hot soldering iron before I actually got something to work. My first job after graduating from university was a member of a team designing central processing units (CPUs) for mainframe computers. At that time, we did all of our design at the gate level by using pencil and paper. Functional verification consisted of sitting around a table with your colleagues to walk then through a portion of your design. They would respond by saying, "That's good (when do we see the next bit?)," OR "That won't work because..." But change is inevitable. We never dreamed of having free access to the professional-grade tools you will find on our site (or of having the computer power to run them, LOL).

I invite you to enjoy our free tool offerings and hope you find them useful in your personal and professional projects. If you have any suggestions for improvements to our existing tools or additional tools you would like to in our collection, please feel free to email me at Max.Maxfield@AspenCore.com
