The ProSPICE Simulator |
|
All versions of Proteus include a copy of ProSPICE, our mixed mode SPICE circuit simulator. ProSPICE is based on Berkeley SPICE3F5 with extensions for true mixed mode simulation and circuit animation. |
|
ProSPICE is offered at two levels.The basic version supports interactive transient analysis only, whilst the advanced simulation option provides a full range of graph based analyses including frequency, fourier, distortion, noise and multi-variable AC/DC parameter sweeps. |
|
Basic ProSPICE Simulation Features |
|
These features are available in all Proteus PCB Design and Proteus VSM products,
including the Starter Kit. |
|
General Simulation Features |
|
 |
Fully integrated with ISIS schematic capture environment. |
|
 |
True mixed mode simulator based on SPICE3F5 coupled with our own, high performance event driven digital simulation engine. |
|
 |
11 Virtual instruments: DC Voltmeter, AC Voltmeter, DC Ammeter, AC Ammeter, Signal generator, Pattern Generator, Oscilloscope, Logic Analyser, Counter Timer, Virtual Terminal and Logic Probe. |
|
 |
Interactive/animated models for switches, buttons, potentiometers, lamps, LEDs, 7 seg displays and more. You can also created your own interactive models without recourse to programming. |
|
 |
Point and shoot component information display shows operating point and instantaneous device parameters at any point in the simulation. |
|
 |
Circuit animation shows logic state of pins, wire voltage as colour, and current direction with arrows - ideal for teaching basic electronics principles. |
|
 |
Basic electronics course comprising over 70 animated circuits included with the package. |
