I'm a electronics engineer with over 35 years experience in bioelectronics, payment systems, wireless communications, data acquisition and IoT internet of things. I specialize in embedded systems design and am an authorised Microchip design partner in Venezuela, recently I was granted the Certified Trainer Status from Microchip for our RTC (Regional Training Center).
I use the Proteus tools almost daily for design, test and layout of my products. Some products I've designed with Proteus include:
Medical devices:
Commercial devices:
The Proteus VSM simulation tools let me work on firmware development before I create a physical PCB because I can simulate my code on the schematic. This helps me find and fix problems before we make physical prototypes. For example, our patient monitor system firmware was developed almost completely using the VSM module, and this allowed us to refine the physical layout once we optimized code.
One bug capture example was when testing the physical pcbs of our brain wave analysis system, a bug showed intermittently in our pcbs and it was getting hard to identify the source, so we reloaded our VSM simulator with the latest version of the firmware, as well as 6 different variants, and were able to reproduce the bug, that appeared while performing a FFT on decomposing a delta wave, due to a an impedance unbalance in the instrumentation op amp which cause a drift in the calibrated range we were using in our pic32.
New libraries and parts added have been great but the capability to generate our own parts or nodules is one of the best options we use.
On the layout side we make approximately 7 pcb boards a year with Proteus, from simple 2 layer PCB's up to more complex 4 layers boards.
Some of the latest additions to the pcb module that has probed to help us greatly is the Serpentine and equal length tracks, BDSM footprint import capability, zone auto placement, route auto placement, better 3D Visual rendering speed, etc.
There are many things I like about Proteus but since I started to work with it, many years ago, I personally discarded other suites we had at my office.
15 million library parts integrated and on demand.
Differential Pair routing and group Length Matching.
Remote front panel design for Arduino and Raspberry Pi Appliances.
