Summary of Mouser releases free version of NI MultiSIM simulator, PCB tool
MultiSIM BLUE, now released by distributor Mouser, is a free Multisim Component Evaluator (Mouser Edition) offering schematic capture, SPICE-based simulation, PCB design, and bill-of-materials compilation with direct links to Mouser's catalog. It lets engineers design and simulate analog, mixed-signal, power-management, passive, discrete, connector, and electromechanical circuits using Mouser-distributed components, leveraging NI Multisim’s parser and BSIM/advanced parameters for accurate simulation.
Parts used in the MultiSIM BLUE Project:
- Schematic capture module
- SPICE-based simulation engine (NI Multisim parser)
- PCB design tool
- Bill-of-materials compilation feature
- Component library of Mouser-distributed analog ICs
- Component library of Mouser-distributed mixed-signal ICs
- Component library of power management ICs
- Passive components library
- Discrete semiconductor components library
- Connectors and electromechanical components library
Previewed in August this year, distributor Mouser has now formally released MultiSIM BLUE, the National Instruments Multisim Component Evaluator, Mouser Edition. The free software is a multifunction package that covers schematic capture, simulation, PCB design and bill-of-materials compilation with direct links to Mouser’s site.
Available via free download on Mouser.com, MultiSIM BLUE enables engineers to design and simulate circuits before laying them out in physical prototypes. MultiSIM BLUE adds features and functionality to provide engineers with an industry-standard SPICE simulation environment of electronic circuits using Mouser’s distributed components, including the newest in analog and mixed-signal ICs, passive components, discrete semiconductors, power management ICs, connectors, and electromechanical components. Simulation is driven by the same advanced parser technology as NI Multisim software with support from BSIM and other advanced parameters.
