Fedora Electronics Laboratory

Fedora Electronic Lab (FEL) is an open source Linux based operating system custom tailored for EDA community.This is an adavanced design and simulation platform for electronics engineering.FEL is a spin of Fedora. Fedora Spins are alternate version of Fedora, tailored for various types of users via hand-picked application sets and other customizations. So FEL is a a complete operating system which contains free,opensource and best applications that are hand-picked to meet the requirements of the EDA community. Using FEL electronic engineers,hobbyists and students can design, simulate and program electronics



Fedora Electronic Laboratory provides a complete electronic laboratory setup with reliable open source design tools in order to help you keep in pace with current technological race. It reduces the risk assessment of open source hardware development and enable electronic designers tapeout quickly and efficiently.



FEl comes with a wide varitey of opensource EDA tools for designing electronic cirucits,integrated cicuits,VLSI circuits (about 10⁶ to 10⁷ transistors),microcontroller circuits,analog and digital circuits,PCB designing,embedded systems development



The Fedora Electronic Lab includes design tools for:

• ASIC Analog Circuit Design and Simulation
• ASIC Layout, DRC and LVS
• Digital Simulation and Verification
• RTL and logic synthesis design flows
• Circuit and PCB Layout
• Micro Controller (µC) Programming and Embedded Systems Development
• CAD Tools
• Project Management, Peer Review and budget tracking

Micro-Cap 10 released

spectrum software has released a new version of its popular EDA tool "Micro-Cap".The Micro-Cap 10 has many new features and improvements.Micro-Cap 10 incorporates many incremental refinements reflecting requests received from users. These and other small, incremental refinements are a big part of what makes the product so easy to use. The technical advancements in MC10 are principally four in number:

Threading
Using threading techniques, multiple CPUs are employed to reduce simulation time.

PSS
Periodic Steady State uses techniques pioneered by Aprille and Trick to calculate the periodic steady state, removing any short term transients from the time-domain waveforms, greatly simplifying many types of circuit analysis problems.

Distortion:
Two completely new analyses make creation of harmonic and intermodulation distortion plots easy.

Optimization
Optimization has been improved by the addition of three additional methods. The complete list of methods now includes, Powell, Hooke, Levenberg-Marquardt, and Differential Evolution.
