>eSim was formerlly known as freeEDA/Oscad. Seeds for eSim were sown when the National +Mission on Education through ICT (NMEICT) was launched: the mission document identified +<span +class="cmti-10x-x-109">Adaption & deployment of open source simulation packages equivalent to Matlab,</span> +<span +class="cmti-10x-x-109">OrCAD, etc.</span>, as one of the areas NMEICT would concentrate on. The FOSSEE +(free and open source software in science and engineering education) group at IIT +Bombay, of which we are a part of, initially started working on Python and Scilab. The +Standing Committee of NMEICT encouraged us to contribute to other open source +software as well. This push helped us develop eSim, an open source alternative to +OrCAD. +<!--l. 18--><p class="indent" > eSim is an electronic design automation (EDA) tool, developed using KiCad and Ngspice. +We have made the netlist files generated by KiCad suitable for simulation through +Ngspice. In order to provide an explanation facility, we have developed a method to +automatically generate differential equations that describe a given analog circuit. +Once satisfied with simulation results, the user can create a Gerber file for PCB +fabrication. +<!--l. 24--><p class="indent" > The FOSSEE team has also created more than 160 Scilab Textbook Companions, +each of which contains Scilab code for worked out examples of standard textbooks, +mostly in engineering and science. These have been created by the students and +professors from various educational institutions in India. These textbooks can be +downloaded free of cost from <span class="cite"> [<span +class="cmbx-10x-x-109">?</span>]</span>. They can also be executed remotely on GARUDA cloud +<span class="cite"> [<span +class="cmbx-10x-x-109">?</span>]</span>. +<!--l. 32--><p class="indent" > We are embarking on a similar methodology for eSim as well: we have solved most of the +worked out examples of <span class="cite"> [<span +class="cmbx-10x-x-109">?</span>]</span> and given the solution in Appendix <a +href="#x1-79000A">A<!--tex4ht:ref: ch:appen --></a>. We hope to create eSim +Textbook Companions for all other relevant standard textbooks as well in the near future, +once again through students and other volunteers. +<!--l. 38--><p class="indent" > Solving the worked out examples of <span class="cite"> [<span +class="cmbx-10x-x-109">?</span>]</span> was a good exercise, as it helped identify and +include some missing features. The yet to be created eSim Textbook Companions +are expected to help in this regard, while simultaneously increasing the available +documentation. +<!--l. 44--><p class="indent" > Lab migration is another important activity that the FOSSEE team is involved in. It +provides equivalent Scilab code for Matlab based labs. This is also carried out through +students and volunteers. We are starting this activity for eSim as well: we will try to provide + +equivalent eSim based solution to all circuit design labs that currently use proprietary +software. +<!--l. 51--><p class="indent" > Another important project supported by NMEICT is the Teach 10,000 Teachers (T10KT) +programme. This methodology, pioneered at IIT Bombay <span class="cite"> [<span +class="cmbx-10x-x-109">?</span>, <span +class="cmbx-10x-x-109">?</span>]</span> has demonstrated that it is +possible for the best people in the field to provide extremely high quality training +to a large number of learners simultaneously. eSim is expected to be used in the +forthcoming T10KT course on Analog Electronics, organised by IIT Kharagpur +<span class="cite"> [<span +class="cmbx-10x-x-109">?</span>]</span>. +<!--l. 60--><p class="indent" > We invite all EDA enthusiasts to work with us through the following resources: +<a + id="x1-2001r1"></a>1. URL for all FOSSEE activities: http://fossee.in <a + id="x1-2002r2"></a>2. URL for all eSim resources: +http://oscad.in <a + id="x1-2003r3"></a>3. Textbook companion: textbook-companion@oscad.in <a + id="x1-2004r4"></a>4. Lab migration: +lab-migration@oscad.in <a + id="x1-2005r5"></a>5. SELF workshops: SELF-workshop@oscad.in <a + id="x1-2006r6"></a>6. eSim +development and enhancing its capabilities: Oscad-dev@oscad.in <a + id="x1-2007r7"></a>7. Feedback on this book: +Oscad-textbook@oscad.in. +We also hope to establish forum based discussion services for eSim. +<!--l. 75--><p class="indent" > Finally, an electronic version of this book is available for noncommercial purposes at +http://oscad.in. + + <h3 class="likesectionHead"><a + id="x1-3000"></a>Acknowledgements</h3> +<a + id="Q1-1-5"></a> +<!--l. 81--><p class="noindent" >We would first like to thank Mr. N.

The idealistic guiding principles of NMEICT, namely, reliance on open +source software, providing free access to e-content and Internet connectivity for all +educational institutions, egged us to contribute our best and one of the outcomes is +eSim. +<!--l. 90--><p class="indent" > We would like to thank the former Human Resource Development Minister (HRM) Mr. +Arjun Singh for getting NMEICT started. We would like to acknowledge the former HRM Mr. +Kapil Sibal for his unstinting support and the faith he had in the NMEICT administration +team.

We also want to thank them for urging us to +work on more FOSS systems than what we were prepared for. Without this kind of active +support, the ecosystem required for projects like eSim to flourish, established at IIT +Bombay through the many projects funded through NMEICT, would not have +materialised. +<!--l. 106--><p class="indent" > We want to thank the FOSSEE faculty members Profs.

They have +simplified our lives to a great extent. Starting from small systems made of a few +discrete components to the present day integrated circuits (ICs) with millions of +logic gates, electronic systems have undergone a sea change. As a result, design of +electronic systems too have become extremely difficult and time consuming. Thanks to +a host of computer aided design tools, we have been able to come up with quick +and efficient designs. These are called <span +class="cmtt-10x-x-109">Electronic Design Automation </span>or <span +class="cmtt-10x-x-109">EDA</span> +<a + id="dx1-5001"></a>tools. +<!--l. 20--><p class="noindent" >Let us see the steps involved in EDA.<a + id="dx1-5002"></a> In the first stage, the specifications of the system are +laid out. These specifications are then converted to a design. The design could be in +the form of a circuit schematic, logical description using an HDL language, etc. +The design is then simulated and re-designed, if needed, to achieve the desired +results. Once simulation achieves the specifications, the design is either converted to +a PCB, a chip layout, or ported to an FPGA. The final product is again tested +for specifications. The whole cycle is repeated until desired results are obtained +<span class="cite"> [<span +class="cmbx-10x-x-109">?</span>]</span>. +<!--l. 31--><p class="indent" > A person who builds an electronic system has to first design the circuit, produce a virtual +representation of it through a schematic for easy comprehension, simulate it and finally +convert it into a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). <a + id="dx1-5003"></a>There are various tools available that help do +this. Some of the popular EDA tools are those of <span +class="cmtt-10x-x-109">Cadence</span>, <span +class="cmtt-10x-x-109">Synopys</span>, <span +class="cmtt-10x-x-109">Mentor Graphics </span>and +<span +class="cmtt-10x-x-109">Xilinx</span>.

The main +drawback of these open source tools is that they are not comprehensive. Some of them are +capable of PCB design (e.g. <span +class="cmtt-10x-x-109">KiCad</span>) while some of them are capable of performing simulations +(e.g. <span +class="cmtt-10x-x-109">gEDA</span>).

Components can be assigned to their corresponding footprints manually or +automatically by creating equivalence files. Equivalence files are look up tables +associating each component with its footprint. This interactive approach is simpler +and less error prone than directly associating footprints in the schematic editor. +This is because CvPcb not only allows automatic association, but also allows to +see the list of available footprints and displays them on the screen to ensure the +correct footprint is being associated.

Circuit design is the +first step in the design of an electronic circuit. Generally a circuit diagram is drawn on a +paper, and then entered into a computer using a schematic editor.

As EEschema is originally intended for PCB design, there are +no fictitious components such as voltage or current sources. Thus, a new library for different +types of voltage and current sources such as sine, pulse and square wave, has been added in +eSim. A library which gives the functionality of printing and plotting has also been +created. +<!--l. 234--><p class="indent" > The schematic editor provides a netlist file, which describes the electrical connections of +the design. In order to create a PCB layout, physical components are required to be mapped +into their footprints. To perform component to footprint mapping, CvPcb is used. Footprints +have been created for the components in the newly created libraries. Pcbnew is used to draw +a PCB layout. +<!--l. 242--><p class="indent" > After designing a circuit, it is essential to check the integrity of the circuit design. In the +case of large electronic circuits, breadboard testing is impractical. In such cases, electronic +system designers rely heavily on simulation. The accuracy of the simulation results can be +increased by accurate modeling of the circuit elements. Model Builder provides the facility to +define a new model for devices and edit existing models. Complex circuit elements can be +created by hierarchical modeling. Subcircuit Builder provides an easy way to create a +subcircuit. +<!--l. 253--><p class="indent" > The netlist generated by Schematic Editor cannot be directly used for simulation +due to compatibility issues.
