The Electric VLSI Design System is an EDA tool written in the early 1980s by Steven M. Rubin.[3][4][5] Electric is used to construct logic wire schematics and to perform analysis of integrated circuit layout. It can also handle hardware description languages such as VHDL and Verilog. The system has many analysis and synthesis tools, including design rule checking, simulation, routing, Layout vs. Schematic, logical effort, and more.

Electric is written in Java, and was released as part of the GNU project in 1998[6] under the GNU General Public License.

In 2017, Electric development ceased, but support and bug fixes continue.[6]
