NI Circuit Design Suite 2022 seamlessly integrates Multisim™ and Ultiboard™ software, creating a synchronized environment that accelerates printed circuit board (PCB) prototype development. From schematic to layout, this integrated solution reduces development time and iterations, offering a comprehensive platform for electrical engineers.
Key Benefits
1. Unified Environment
Achieve circuit schematics, SPICE simulation, and PCB
layout all in one environment. The synchronization between Multisim™ and
Ultiboard™ streamlines the design process, fostering a cohesive workflow.
2. Extensive Component Library
Multisim™ software provides access to a vast library
of 55,000 manufacturer-verified components. Quickly capture your schematic,
simulate, analyze (including LabVIEW simulation), and lay out your PCB
prototype seamlessly.
3. Verification for Accuracy
Ensure accuracy in pin mappings and land pattern
dimensions based on manufacturer specifications. Early verification helps catch
errors, saving valuable hours of rework and iterations in PCB prototypes.
4. Faster Layout and Routing
Ultiboard™ PCB layout and routing software integrate
tightly with Multisim™, offering a complete end-to-end PCB prototyping
solution. Take advantage of efficient layout and routing tools to expedite the
design process.
5. Automatic Design Changes Annotation
Easily transfer design changes from schematic to
layout and vice versa. The integration between Multisim™ and Ultiboard™ allows
for smooth forward annotation from Multisim™ to Ultiboard™ and back annotation
from Ultiboard™ to Multisim™.
6. Hierarchical Blocks for Modular Design
Utilize hierarchical blocks in both Multisim™ and
Ultiboard™ to modularize your design. Create reusable sub-circuits at both the
schematic and PCB layout stages, enhancing efficiency.
