Proteus (design software)

( 1 April 2011)

Proteus is a software package for computer-aided design, simulation and design of electronic circuits. It consists of two main parts, the ISIS, the circuit design environment, which also includes the VSM simulator, and the ARES the PCB designer. Developer and manufacturer is the company Labcenter Electronics.

Proteus PCB Design

Proteus PCB design electronic circuit can computer-aided designed and printed circuit boards are designed.

ISIS (Intelligent Input System Schematic )

The ISIS Intelligent Schematic Input System ( Intelligent circuit input system ), is the environment for the design and simulation of electronic circuits.

The component library contains claims to more than 10,000 circuit components with 6000 Prospice Simulatons models. Own components can be created and added to the library.

ISIS includes a base VSM engine with support for the following functionality:

  • DC / AC voltmeter & ammeter, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers
  • Analog signal generators, digital pattern generator
  • Timer functions, protocol analyzers (including RS232, I2C, SPI)

VSM ( Virtual System Modelling )

The VSM Virtual System Modeling ( Virtual System Modelling ) provides a graphical SPICE circuit simulation and animation directly in the ISIS environment. The SPICE simulator is based on the Berkeley SPICE3F5 model.

It can microprocessor based systems are simulated. With the VSM engine can interact during the simulation directly to the circuit. Changes of buttons, switches or potentiometers be queried in real-time and LED indicators, LCD displays, "Hot / Cold" Wires displayed.

Proteus VSM for microcontrollers

  • PIC12 / PIC16 / PIC18
  • PIC24 / PIC33
  • HC11
  • 8051/8052
  • BASIC Stamp
  • ATMEL AVR
  • 8086
  • MSP430

The microcontroller (with a few exceptions that are explicitly listed in the manual ) in the periphery and in the code fully supported (interrupt, ADC, I2C, USB, Comparators, among others. ). It contains a debugging environment for the program code of the microcontroller. COF for the simulation. HEX and. Compiled file of the software required. The clock signal is simulated in real time.

Proteus VSM Advanced Simulation

  • Generation of frequency responses
