Many digital logic circuit simulators have been developed for the education on the experiments of digital logic circuits for college or high school students. But the existing simulators have some constraints on the number of inputs of gate, on the display of gate and wire states, and on the number of logic diagrams to be simulated. 1n this paper, we propose a simulator XSIM(eXpandable digital logic circuit SIMulator) which mitigates the constraints and allows multiple diagrams for large scale logics. It is expected that the multiple diagrams on large logics are helpful for team-teaching in school.

This paper presents a web-based Java applet for understanding the concepts in digital logic circuits and student satisfaction survey was carried out in order to show its educational validity. Through our educational Java applet, the learners will be capable of learning the concepts and principles related to digital logic circuit experiments and how to operate virtual experimental equipments and virtual bread board. The proposed educational Java applet is composed of five important components: Principle Classroom to explain the concepts and principles for digital logic circuit operations, Simulation Classroom to provide a web-based simulator to the learners, Virtual Experiment Classroom to provide interactive Java applet about the syllabus of off-line laboratory class, Assessment Classroom, and Management System. With the aid of the Management System every classroom is organically tied together collaborating to achieve maximum learning efficiency. Finally, we have obtained several affirmative effects such as high learning standard, reducing the total experimental hours and the damage rate for experimental equipments.
