About the suite:
The Circuit Design Suite combines Multisim and Ultiboard software to offer a complete set of tools for circuit design, simulation, validation, and layout. The Circuit Design Suite helps you design circuits using intuitive and cost-effective tools. You can perform interactive SPICE simulation and seamlessly transition to PCB layout and routing software. Built for education, research, and design, the suite provides advanced simulation capabilities to give you clear insights into how circuits perform under any situation.
About Multisim:
Multisim is industry standard SPICE simulation and circuit design software for analog, digital, and power electronics in education and research. Multisim integrates industry standard SPICE simulation with an interactive schematic environment to instantly visualize and analyze electronic circuit behavior. Multisim has an intuitive interface that helps educators reinforce circuit theory and improve retention of theory throughout engineering curriculum. Researchers and designers use Multisim to reduce PCB prototype iterations and save development costs by adding powerful circuit simulation and analyses to the design flow.
About Ultiboard:
Ultiboard is printed circuit board design and layout software that integrates seamlessly with Multisim to accelerate PCB prototype development. Ultiboard software offers efficient PCB design layout and routing with a customizable environment. You can use its flexible tools to place parts and copper with manual precision to define critical board elements. With its automated functionality, you can quickly complete a design. The advanced spreadsheet view, toolbox, and design wizards help you easily manage, control, and define any board layout. Seamless integration with Multisim software provides simple schematic transfer to PCB, and forward and backward annotation ensures design iteration management. You can easily export industry-standard file formats such as Gerber and DXF to complete the design flow from schematic to layout.
