CircuiTikZ On Top Applications

Based on the CircuiTikZ project project at the institute of electronics engineering several On Top Applications were created to simplify and speed up the design flow of drawing circuits in TikZ. These applications make it easier to create nice graphical drawings, suitable for use in LaTeX and TeX based papers.

CircuiCanva

CircuiCanva is a browser-based progressive Web Application that serves as a GUI for CircuiTikZ. This JavaScript-based, multi-platform browser application can draw circuits, supporting all current CircuiTikZ components and rectangular wire connections. The project consists of two parts: the GUI itself and the SymbolConvert Tool, allowing the addition of new components to the GUI when CircuiTikZ introduces new components. The current official build is available here. You can refer to the documentation for help on the functions.

ablToTikZ

ablToTikZ („ADS Board Link to TikZ“) is a Converter Tool that converts schematics already designed in your EDA design tool to CircuiTikZ. The idea is to avoid redrawing the circuitry for your paper if you already have it drawn in your simulation tool. It supports every EDA tool allowing for XML export (such as Cadence Allegro, Cadence Virtuoso, Altium, etc.), though it is currently mostly maintained for Keysights Path Wave Advanced Design System. The tool runs on Windows and Unix-based systems as a command-line tool, providing TikZ code from your XML file exported from your simulation tool.

GitLab Repositories

All projects were initiated as research projects at the institute of electronics engineering and are available on GitLab. We welcome support and new ideas.
