DCircuit Lab is a tool to simulate combinatorial and sequential digital circuits. Circuits can be simulated in two ways: 1) one single step: all the outputs values are evaluated at the same time 2) step by step: outputs and gates are evaluated one step a time If circuit contains clock inputs, its simulation is dynamic. This means that outputs change accordingly to the clocks. During this dynamic simulation, user can change inputs values to study the circuit behavior which is also provided via a timing chart. Circuits are built using basic components, gates and flip-flops: * inputs (three state: 1, 0, X - undefined) * outputs * wires * NOT, AND, NAND, OR, NOR, XOR gates with any number of inputs * Flip-flop RS, JK, T, D (Positive or Negative Edge Triggered and with Set and Reset Inputs) * Multiplexers with any number of inputs * Demultiplexers with any number of outputs * Fully configurable Clocks * Custom Components defined by their truth table * BCD to 7 Segments Display Decoder * 7 Segments Display Some video tutorials are available directly from the application to learn how to use it.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Talker holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Talker has 27 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 11% of DCircuit Lab's written reviews are positive against 100% of Talker's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

DCircuit Lab ships an update every 10 months, Talker every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
