content: Hello. Im looking at several schematic/simulators. Tried Circuit JS and it was very interesting. Very useful to actually watch where all the current was going. Made tuning my circuit a snap. But its mostly generic parts. The breadboard circuit did not work like the simulation. So looking around at several others and ran into Proteus. But which Proteus? I ran into 8.14 and 8.9. The website says the latest is 8.14. So 8.9 must be scammers luring clicks to pass out trojans on the higher version number. A sneaky trick. But I find reviews all over the place for 8.6 and 8.9. With tutorals on how to get started. So is there 2 different Proteuses out there for circuit design? Its got me stumped. I left a comment on a page that tutors on 8.9. But they deleted my comment. Hah. That makes me even more paranoid.

content: 8.9 was an actual release (from around May 2019) and 8.14 is the latest release version.However, if you're looking at downloading 8.9 then that suggests you're after a hookey copy (otherwise why not just download from their web site), and in that case any version should be suspect regardless of what version it's alleged to be.

content: Well that still doesnt make alot of sense to me. Im an actual engineer. And when Im told that a higher revision number is older than a lower revision number, Im not going to be quick to download anything till I can make sense of the story. For all I know, the Proteus website I found is the fake page ready to send me a trojan. And if they are both legit, then why did they derail on standard version number norms? Is one a light version and one a pro? Or is one a 32bit versus a 64bit? I certainly wont get the strait story if scammers are responding to me. So Im asking the same question on several sites besides the pages offering the downloads. That way I am sure to get good info eventually. Only then will I do a download, if it looks like it could fit my needs. Right off the top I would have figured 8.9 is the latest release. Thats the way version numbering works.

Despues de mucho investigar por que razon no funcionaba me di cuenta que el modelo que viene en la librería no es un modelo simulable, tan solo es esquematico.No he encontrado ningun modelo para simular , si alguien puede ayudarme con esto se lo agradezco.Sin embargo tengo aun una duda: si es solo un modelo esquematico el que viene por defecto en la librería de proteus, por que razón si pongo un voltimetro en el pin REF OUT del adc obtengo un voltaje de 1.25V, que a demás es el voltaje de salida correcto para este pin.?.No lo entiendo, y esa es una de las cosas que me hizo pensar que era un modelo que admitía simulación.Gracias.

content: Hi All,For my SMPS project, I made a custom transformer in proteus 8.1. I took the base transformer model TRAN-2P3S from standard Proetus library and modified to TRAN-2P6S (with 6 secondary). Before integrating this custom made transformer, I tried to test it by applying the square pulse through a pulse generator. The original one gives the output but custom made transformer doesn't. Though I defined all I/P and O/P points in child sheet. Can some one pls help me?Pls download the circuit from below link...I defined the child sheet also in test simulation.https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1u1zWlUME-GR_Uujg231SRth5J4qkF2wM?usp=sharingThe simulation file is also attached with the message.Thanks for your help in advance guys.Best regardsPrakash

content: Hi,I am inserting a Female Header / CONN-SIL in Proteus.Problems(1) I need a CONN-SIL20 (20-pin) package but the largest I have is 18 (at the moment I am trying to put 2x10 side by side)(2) When I print the layout to scale on a printer, all my design is correct, but the female header pins are not matching to the printed layout. I already tried to set it to 2.54 snap grid but it still does not match.Thanks

timestamp: April 16, 2022, 03:00:54 pm
content: Simplest way is to copy the 18-pin and then add two more identical pins (except for the pin numbers). Copy and paste in the schematic and layout editors makes this very simple and quick. Then adjust the silkscreen, etc, to encompass the extra pins.Extending a connector in this way is about as simple as you can get and a useful introduction to making your own components. For the schematic, follow these steps:1. Place the CONN-SIL18 connector, right click it and select 'Decompose tagged objects'. You should end up with the decomposed symbol and script as shown in the first screeny.2. Drag select the last two pins, right click and select 'Block Copy'. Drag 'em right 0.1".3. Double-click the new duplicate pin 17 and change 'Number' to 19.4. Repeat for the duplicate 18 and make it 20. You should now have the 20-pin connector shown in screeny 4.x. Double-click the script and change any instance of '18' to '20'. (Note, I missed this step in the following screeny. It is fixable later but better to get it done in one go here.)5. Drag select the entire thing, right click and select 'Make Package'.That's your schematic symbol. The PCB footprint is essentially the same process.

content: Hey guys, I just installed Proteus Design Suite v8.9 on my computer. But the problem is that the software automatically closes when a simulation is running, or when a schematic is being made. Even during a simple circuit simulation of a Battery, resistor and a LED, the software closes. I've had this problem in Proteus v8.7, v8.8 and now v8.9. I updated to 8.9 hoping the problem would solve but it is still the same. I've lost so many important schematics till now, even when designing it's not just convenient. Anyone facing the same problems? And any ideas how to solve the problems? Appreciate your help.

To me proteus may automatically close during or after I launched the simulation, but never happened again since I no longer use animated measuring devices like voltmeter, ammeter.To measure a voltage I use the "probe mode" measuring device. The device under "laplace primitive" named "OP : substract" can be used to measure a resistor voltage and the a voltage probe have to be placed at the output of the substract op.To measure a current I use the same technique with a shunt resistor.Hope that could help..

The next thing I need to do is be able to calculate the phase shift of the filtered (output) sine wave. I've plotted a second frequency response graph which shows the phase, but I can't seem to use it to get specific values. I can get rough values by just looking at the graph, but I need more specific answers.Can anyone show me a way to actually calculate the phase shift of the output?

Subcircuits work unexpectedly, hopefully this isn't by design - Page 1

timestamp: April 06, 2019, 08:20:49 pm
content: Ok, I'm using Proteus 8.8 SP1 and I have created a subcircuit, which is basically a linear power supply. Then I have made two copies of this subcircuit.First strange thing: The subcircuit copies haven't received a new reference, and are still showing up as SUB1. When I copy a single component, like a cap, Proteus gives it a new reference, but this isn't happening with a subcircuit.Oh well, so I went ahead and changed the references of the copies to SUB2 and SUB3. Then I entered the schematic of SUB1 and made a modification.Second MAJOR strange thing: The change I have made was not reflected in SUB2 and SUB3!!! This doesn't make any sense to me at all. This completely defeats the purpose of having subcircuits.I hope I'm doing something wrong and this isn't by design. But if it is by design, then I don't know how this feature can be effectively used. Imagine using subcircuits to build a stereo amp. If you have made 10 mods to the LEFT subcircuit, you have to make the same modifications to the RIGHT channel.

content: Contacted Proteus support. Their response was that this is by design and that it's sometimes useful for subcircuits to have slightly different component values ...I think instead of keeping component values totally separate as it is today, it would be much better to keep same and synchronize the component values BY DEFAULT, and allow on a case by case basis to separate the values. Right now, there is no easy way to ascertain that all subcircuits have the same component values.

These two ground planes are on the bottom of the PCB.It is important for EMC reasons when having tracks cross the two planes on the top side of the PCB, that underneath those tracks on the top, the two planes on the bottom are joined. I can't find a way of doing this. When I try and draw a third small plane to overlap the edges of the two it, of course, just clears the requisite space according to design rules.On a previous CAD system I've just been able to "draw" a patch of copper to do this without it being an part of the electrical tests.Is there a way to do this on Proteus please?Many thanks.

content: I would think you need to wire the the two grounds together on the schematic since they probably have different net names. That's why you're getting errors when you try to brute force a connection. It would also be good for documentation to add the connection on the schematic, maybe with explanation text as to why it's done.

Just draw a trace with the bridge style to connect the two planes together as shown in the attached image. You can change the BRIDGE style to be whatever desired thickness you'd like. Take caution, though, the "BRIDGE" trace style is ignored by the DRC.-Clayton

content: There are so many devices missing from proteus, and its not easy to add them.I wish it was as easy as mechanical design software -if you need a bolt you can just download an STL/SLDPRT/etc. file directly from McMaster carr and use it in your assemblyTo add a missing part in proteus I do: 1. Decompose a similar part 2. Add/rename pins 3. MakeDevice and fill in as much as possible.I exclude from simulation because I've not found an easy way to add the spice info.Its very frustrating if you have to add more than 1 or 2 "missing" devices to your designDoes anyone have tips to do this better?

content: I think most programs won't have the parts YOU want. I never find the parts i want. Altiums circuit studio comes full of promises with their "vault" that is a vacuous name for an equally vacuous function, it has nothing of any use, you want a resistor, you look up the resistor section and find 1! resistor, same with other parts, yes they have some of the samtec headers, strangely just not the one i need, So I also end up rolling all of my own and for the first project it's a royal pain. As creating parts these days includes adding 3D models essential particularly for things like connectors it is a long procedure. Nothing in proteus really made sense to me and the manual never really helped, not that the circuit studio one is any better.

content: I don't use that particular CAD program but suggest that not finding a library for a device is quite common. You will save headaches and time by learning how to make your own libraries. In fact, except for very common stuff like resistors, caps, and pin headers, I almost exclusively use my own libraries. Of course, I borrow design parts from existing libraries, but for footprints, I always check against the datasheet and make changes accordingly.

I have already created quite a few parts for my needs but I'm surprised that such a common part doesn't exist and that's why I asked.Also, some parts are "interactive" which means that they can be used in real time for simulations. For example, in the case of a switch you can change the position in real time.However, this involves some coding and I'm not able to do it myslef.

If you right clikck on any object, you have immediate +/- 90 degree increments, which is MOST designs.If you need finer controls, the Top bar icon will rotate just about anything, including highlighted blocks, which i what it is for, and always has been.

content: XC8 built-in delay routines only support a literal constant or an expression composed of literal constants as a parameter. If you need a variable delay, wrap a fixed delay (using the builtin routines) in a loop, with the desired delay as the loop count.Stepping through delays of more than a few tens of instruction cycles is a PITA. Put a breakpoint after the delay and run to it at full speed.P.S. Your question has sweet F.A. to do with Proteus. Why confuse the issue by mentioning it?

I don't know where this is in Proteus, but there should be a setting or dialog somewhere.There are also a lot of settings which work better for transient simulation, besides defaults. I typically use somewhere around these,http://seventransistorlabs.com/Images/SimSettings1.pnghttp://seventransistorlabs.com/Images/SimSettings2.pnghttp://seventransistorlabs.com/Images/SimSettings3.pngTim

I know this is a standard workflow for many, but I'm approaching to this only now.The software has an affordable price (the AVR version costs € 200,00 exl. VAT) but the demo version offers only one PIC to try this debug/simulation functionality, and I'd like to test it with my ATMEGA 328 sketches before buying it, so there is anyone that use this software?Do you suggest me to buying it for my purposes?
