Mouser MultiSIM BLUE Premium circuit design tool

Mouser Electronics has announced MultiSIM BLUE Premium, the latest release of the MultiSIM BLUE circuit design tool. Powered by National Instruments (NI), the product offers unlimited components within the schematic and integrated design capabilities.

The tool provides engineers with a simulation environment using Mouser’s vast selection of products and a larger selection of NI components, including analog and mixed-signal ICs, passive components, discrete semiconductors, power management ICs, connectors and electromechanical components. It helps to further enhance development, giving engineers a better understanding of their designs and speeding time to market.

Featuring a Berkley SPICE simulation environment of electronic circuits, the product provides engineers with the freedom to design and simulate circuits before laying them out in physical prototypes. Users can now visualise and evaluate linear performance, making this critical step of circuit design easier, faster and more productive.

To help better organise and modularise schematics, hierarchical design capabilities have been added so engineers can incorporate classification blocks in place of a circuit and then repeat it in other parts of the design to save time. The product also includes forward and backward annotation capabilities, allowing engineers to transfer changes from a schematic to a PCB layout environment or from layout to schematic.

Other features include unlimited schematic sheets and levels to help provide greater context and flexibility to an engineer’s overall design, and unrestricted access to components and custom components to offer limitless possibilities when building a design in real time.
