SIMPLE LED CIRCUIT USING PROTEUS

▪ If you want to work on Proteus, then you must have some prior knowledge about electronics.
Proteus doesn’t provide any suggestions about circuit designing so if you don’t have electronics
knowledge then you can’t work with Proteus.
▪ We are required to create a simple LED lights project as shown below

▪ Open your Proteus ISIS software and then click on Components Mode in the left menu tab,
as shown in the figure.
▪ After that click on the P (Pick from Libraries) Button, and a new window will open up.

1|Proteus| LED circuit


▪ This new window is called Pick Devices and is used to search for electronics components.
▪ Proteus has a huge database of electronics components in the form of libraries. i.e. Diode Library
will have all the diode components.
▪ So, from these millions of components, we need to search for the required components to design
an electronic circuit.
▪ You can see the Pick Devices window in below figure, so let’s first discuss its layout:

2|Proteus| LED circuit


▪ Keywords textbox is used to search any component and Proteus will display the related
components in the Results panel.
▪ Category Section displays all the categories available in Proteus and when you click on
any category then its components will be displayed in the Results panel.
▪ After that, we have Sub-category & Manufacturer
▪ In the image below, we have Schematic Preview & PCB Review, so when we select any
component then its respective Previews will be shown here.
▪ So, now let’s search for LED, as shown below figure:

▪ As you can see in the above figure that Proteus has provided several Results and the boxed four
LEDs are the ones required for our circuit.
▪ Moreover, the Category section is now showing only those categories which are related to the
searched keyword.
▪ Moreover, we also have a Schematic Preview but we don’t have any PCB Preview as it is not
available for this component.
▪ So, double click on these four LEDs, and they will be added to the Proteus workspace.
▪ Moreover, we also need to add resistance to search for resistance.
▪ Double click on this RES component and then close this Pick Devices window.
▪ You will get these selected components in the Devices section, as shown below figure:

4|Proteus| LED circuit


▪ As we are designing a simple project so we have selected just four components but in
complex projects, we have a long list of components in this Devices section and it proves
quite helpful.
▪ So, let us place these components, one by one in the central work area.

▪ You can drag & drop them OR can select by clicking and then again click to place.
▪ Placed these components in the work area, as shown above
▪ So, now let’s connect them using wires and for that, we need to click on the pin terminal of each
component.

5|Proteus| LED circuit


▪ Now we need to provide voltage supply to this circuit and there are several voltage
sources in Proteus.
▪ For now, let us click on the Terminals Mode in the left Toolbar and you will get Proteus
Terminals, as shown in the figure on the right side.
▪ From these terminals, we are going to use Power & Ground, so place them in the circuit,
as shown below figure:

6|Proteus| LED circuit


▪ If we place multiple Ground components in the circuit then Proteus will consider them all
as connected/short.
▪ These Terminals are quite helpful, as in complex circuits, these wires can become too
messy and we can avoid them by using these terminals.
▪ So, we have completely designed our circuit but we need to change the properties of
these components a little.
▪ So, double click on resistance to open its Properties panel, as shown below figure:

▪ From this Edit Component window, we can edit different properties of the selected component.
▪ As you can see, first we have Component Reference, that’s the name of our component i.e.
R1. If we have multiple resistances, then their names will be R2, R3, and so on.

7|Proteus| LED circuit


▪ We can’t have multiple items with the same Component Reference, as it will create an error.
▪ The second Property defines the resistance of the component and I have changed it from 10k
to 1k.
▪ Then we have Model Type and its analog.
▪ Finally, we have PCB Package, we will use it when we will be designing the PCB design of this
circuit.
▪ So, click on the OK Button and the resistance value will change from 10k to 1k.
▪ Now, double click on the first LED to open its Properties panel, as shown below in the figure:

▪ As LED is a bit complex component as compared to resistance, that’s why it has a lot more
Properties to Edit.
▪ As we are designing a digital circuit, so we need to change the Model Type of LED from Analog
to Digital and then click on the OK button.
▪ You need to change this Model Type for all these four LEDs.
▪ Let’s run this simulation, by clicking the Play button at the bottom.
▪ If everything goes fine, then all LEDs will glow, as shown below figure:
