Microchip Technology MPLAB® Mindi™ Analog Simulator

Microchip Technology MPLAB® Mindi™ Analog Simulator reduces circuit design time and design risk by simulating analog circuits before hardware prototyping. The simulation tool uses a SIMetrix/SIMPLIS simulation environment, with SPICE or piecewise linear modeling options, that can cover a comprehensive set of possible simulation needs. This capable simulation interface is paired with proprietary model files from Microchip to model specific Microchip analog components and generic circuit devices. Finally, this simulation tool installs and runs locally on the user’s PC. Once downloaded, no internet connection is required, and the simulation run time is not dependent on a remotely located server. The result is fast, accurate analog circuit simulations.
