EXPERIMENT NO 2:
Introduction to Proteus

OBJECTIVES

 To learn the use of simulation software for circuit analysis.

 How to creatively draw the circuit and analyze it before giving it a practical
touch.


EQUIPMENT
 Computer/Laptop
 Proteus Software

THEORY
What is Proteus?
Proteus 8 is a single application with many service modules offering different
functionality such as PCB layout, Schematic capture, and source code with Virtual
simulation. The Proteus schematic capture program is an experimental canvas for
students. Placing and wiring is very intuitive and with tens of thousands of
components to simulate, curiosity and creativity can be encouraged in equal
measure. Together with our world class mixed-mode SPICE simulation engine
Proteus provides a safe, fast and immersive learning environment for students.
The ability to interact with a running simulation in Proteus by pressing buttons,
ramping POTs or flicking switches makes it ideally suited for engaging students in
learning electronic theory. At introductory levels, simple animations for voltage
levels on pins and current flow can be turned on to help students visualize what is
happening. As students advance, they can use basic meters to take
measurements and then be introduced to instrumentation such as an oscilloscope
or logic analyzer for analysis. Advanced students can then work with more
complex circuitry and use graphs to perform a host of more detailed analyses such
as frequency, Fourier or distortion.
How to use Proteus?
1. Click on the desktop icon of Proteus 8 and Open the Home page of Proteus 8.
The interface you see on the screen is the starting window of the simulation
software.
2. Now, click on "New Project" option and then, a pop-up window will be opened
up in which you have to name the project and choose the directory to save the
project. It will be saved automatically with ".pdsprj" extension.

3. The Next step is to select the Schematic layout from the categories and
'Default' will be A4 size. You can select the other layout from the list provided.

4. In next step, you can also create PCB layout in the next step by selecting it and
choosing the required layout. In This Experiment PCB is not in our scope so,
select 'Do not create PCB layout' option, because we don't want any PCB
design of your schematic circuit.

5. In the NEXT step select “No Firmware Project” because we are not going to
use any Microcontroller.

6. Finally, Click on NEXT and then FINISH. Now you will be directed to the
Schematic Capture window. In the central area, we design our circuit i.e., place
the components and then join them.

7. Now let’s create a simple circuit. For this we need components like resistor and
voltage source. To pick up components go to component mode in the left pane.
Then click on “P” to pick devices/components. A new window will open up as
shown in the below figure.

8. In “Keywords” box type “resistor”, and double click on the device. Again type
“Battery” in Keywords box and double click the battery with description “DC voltage
source”. Now click “OK” in the bottom right corner. By clicking “ok” you will be
directed back to the Schematic Capture Tab.

Type the components

2
here.

9. Now you can see the selected components/devices in the devices list.
10. Place the components in the workspace by selecting each component. (You
can also rotate the components using the rotation sign mentioned above as 2
in figure, just beside component node button or you can use plus or minus on
keyboard for anti-clockwise and clockwise direction respectively.
NOTE: The value of any component can be changed by double clicking on that
component.
11. You need to measure the voltage and current in the circuit. For this purpose, go
to the instrument’s mode in the left pane. And you will see a list if instruments
including DC volt meter and DC ammeter.

12. Connect the meters in the circuit (to measure voltage and current) as shown in
figure. And click on the triangle button in the bottom left corner to “Run the
simulation”. Now you can see the voltage across and current through each
element as shown in figure below.

13. To make any changes in the circuit, the simulation must be stopped by clicking
on the square button.
