I'm looking for software that would allow me to design PCB's What i've found thus far does not support the 74 series of logic IC's . Best i've found is proteus , but it costs money .

 

Anyone know of such software?

AMD Ryzen R7 1700 (3.8ghz) w/ NH-D14, EVGA RTX 2080 XC (stock), 4*4GB DDR4 3000MT/s RAM, Gigabyte AB350-Gaming-3 MB, CX750M PSU, 1.5TB SDD + 7TB HDD, Phanteks enthoo pro case

Any decent software will allow you to create custom footprints for ICs so you can create your own layouts.  Try DipTrace.

 

I suspect for some reason you're thinking of simulation of circuit. That's not part of a regular pcb design software afaik, it's a bonus feature.

I use express PCB, create the circuit in their schematic software and import it to the PCB maker software. It will tell you if you missed connections and you can even have them make the board for you if you want.

I would give kicad a shot. Decent library to begin with and if the ic you want is not there by default someone has probably made a library for it. I prefer kicad over other free eda software as it is still free for commercial use and is open source. That and you can easily generate gerbers for a fab.

Eagle comes with the 74- series in it's library and it has a free version limited to 10x10cm PCB's if that is enough for your needs ?

That should be enough, as I'll be using multiple smaller PCB's anyway. Thanks!
