It allows for co-simulation of complete microcontroller-based designs. This suite includes mixed-mode SPICE circuit simulations, animated components, and microprocessor models. This version will look different than the previous one that opened directly the schematic layout. Click on the Proteus 8 desktop icon and open the Proteus 8 Home page. The “.pdsprj extension” will automatically save it. A pop-up window will open up where you can name the project, and select the directory in which to save it. You can also choose another layout from the provided list.Ĭlick on the “New Project” button. Next, choose the Schematic layout from each category. The trial version cannot save or print and is therefore very limited. The pre-selection for the microcontroller will be found in the Schematic capture window and the header file selection in the Source code window. This is a core component that is included in all product configurations. This program allows changes to the schematic to be reflected across PCB and BOM in real-time.

Proteus integrates ISIS, ARES, and 3D Viewer modules as tabbed modules. This allows you to run schematic capture and PCB Layout with a common database and in sync. Version 8 differs from previous versions in terms of its application framework and a common database. Proteus 8 offers many different functions such as Schematic capture, PCB layout, and source code. Proteus can be used for circuit simulation and virtual system modeling. This software is used by technicians and electronic designers to create schematics and electronic prints that can be used for the manufacture of printed circuit boards. Proteus is a proprietary software suite that is used for electronic design automation. Product configurations can limit the design size.

PCBs with up to 16 copper layers are possible. This information is combined with user-specified design rules and other design automation tools to ensure error-free board design.
