NI launches Multisim 12.0 software for circuit design and electronics education purposes
National Instruments
Multisim 12.0 simulation software
National Instruments (NI) has launched the latest version of its Multisim 12.0 simulation software, which features specialised editions for circuit design and electronics education.
Multisim 12.0 Professional Edition — which is based on industry-standard Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis (SPICE) simulation — enables engineers to improve design performance to suit their applications by minimising errors and prototype iterations with Multisim simulation tools. These include both customisable analyses developed in the NI Labview graphical system design software and standard SPICE analyses and measurement instruments.
Multisim 12.0 Education Edition, meanwhile, incorporates teaching features and is complemented by hardware, textbooks and courseware. This integrated system is designed to help educators engage students and reinforce circuit theory with an interactive, hands-on approach to investigating circuit behaviour.
Key features and benefits
Multisim 12.0 Professional Edition
- The system-level, closed-loop simulation of analogue and digital applications with Multisim and Labview saves time in the design process.
- Database enhancements include electromechanical models, AC/DC power converters and switch-mode power supplies for designing power applications.
- More than 2,000 new database components are included, from companies including Analog Devices, National Semiconductor, NXP and Phillips.
- Around 90 new pin-accurate connector symbols simplify custom accessory design for NI hardware.
Multisim 12.0 Education Edition
- Student project facilitation and design is easier thanks to the new pin-accurate connectors to NI education hardware including NI MyDAQ.
- The software features new power and machine components for teaching mechatronics and power electronics theory.
- There is improved support for digital theory curricula with the latest Xilinx FPGA tool support (12.x and 13.x).
- Analogue and digital system-level simulation with Labview enables the simulation of complete laboratories via the desktop to teach controls, energy, power and mechatronics theory.
