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 simulation only, whilst the advanced simulation option enhances simulation capabilities by providing a full range of graph based analyses including frequency, fourier, distortion, noise and multi-variable AC/DC parameter sweeps.

Product Features

These features are included as standard in all Proteus PCB Design and Proteus VSM products, including the Starter Kit.

Basic Simulation Includes:

  • 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.
  • Over a dozen Virtual instruments for live and interactive measurement and analysis during simulation.
  • 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.
  • Thousands of traditional peripheral models and embedded peripheral models included.
  • Point and shoot component information display shows operating point and instantaneous device parameters at any point in the simulation.
  • Unique VSM technology allows co-simulation of microprocessor designs.

Analogue Simulation Features:

  • Full set of SPICE3 primitives including MOSFET, BSIM3, MESFET, lossy transmission line and expression based arbitrary source.
  • Direct compatibility with manufacturers' SPICE models.
  • Over 7500 models included with the package.

Digital Simulation Features:

  • Event driven digital simulation models timing, glitch and floating input behaviour.
  • Digital primitives include gates, registers, latches, counters, memory and much more.
  • Model library includes 74 series TTL, 4000 series CMOS, memory ICs and more.
  • Fusemap models allow simulation of PLDs directly from JEDEC files.

Advanced Simulation Option

The Advanced Simulation option can be used to upgrade the basic ProSPICE simulator to provide a full range of graph based analyses including frequency, fourier, distortion, noise and multi-variable AC/DC parameter sweeps.
