About:
Logisim Evolution is an educational Java-based tool for designing and simulating digital logic circuits. It provides a graphical user interface for building circuits from basic logic gates and sequential components. The project is an actively maintained fork of the original Logisim, featuring a modern UI and various enhancements.
Key Features:
  • Interactive graphical circuit design
  • Simulation of combinational and sequential logic
  • Component library including standard gates, flip-flops, and memory
  • Support for custom components and sub-circuits
Use Cases:
  • Teaching digital logic design in academic courses
  • Prototyping and verifying digital circuits before hardware implementation
  • Learning computer architecture fundamentals
Alternatives:
  • Digital – A similar logic simulator with a focus on simplicity and ease of use.
  • Quartus Prime / Vivado – Professional FPGA synthesis tools that target specific hardware, rather than being purely simulators.
