xschem is a schematic capture program, it allows creation of hierarchical representation of circuits with a top down approach.

A VHDL or Verilog or Spice netlist can be generated from the drawn schematic, allowing the simulation of the circuit. Key feature of the program is its drawing engine written in C and using directly the Xlib drawing primitives; this gives very good speed performance, even on very big circuits. The user interface is built with the Tcl-Tk toolkit, Tcl is also the extension language used.
