# Proteus Simulation and PCB Design Software

**Type:** Product page · **SKU:** PROTEUS · **Brand:** [Labcenter Electronics](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/labcenter)
**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/proteus-simulation-and-pcb-design-software.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/proteus-simulation-and-pcb-design-software.html.md))

Proteus Virtual System Modelling (VSM) combines mixed mode SPICE circuit simulation, animated components and microprocessor models to facilitate co-simulation of complete microcontroller based designs.

Price depends on the options selected — see the product page for current pricing.

## Availability & dispatch

- Available with a lead time — expect dispatch between Aug 17 and Aug 17.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=PROTEUS:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/PROTEUS:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)
- **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt
## Description

Proteus Virtual System Modelling (VSM) combines mixed mode SPICE circuit simulation, animated components and microprocessor models to facilitate co-simulation of complete microcontroller based designs.

Proteus is professional grade Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software, used in both educational and commercial environments. Simulation provides a fast development workflow which enables users to design with confidence. Some highlights of Proteus include:

- Design a schematic with use of thousands of parts
- Simulate your code, step by step, on hundreds of modern of microcontrollers
- Drop in test equipment to aid with simulation/confidence testing (such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, console terminals, frequency counters and meters)
- Create custom devices for use in schematic design or simulation
- Integration with popular toolchains
 
Proteus can save you countless hours worth of debugging and fault chasing, allowing you to quickly iterate toward a stable solution.

Educational use of Proteus provides more options and an easier introduction to real-world electronics (not just basic analogue devices). Consider the benefits of being able to step through code to demonstrate functionality, use complex digital devices along with other MCUs loaded with their own code. Drop in a four channel oscilloscope, or an arbitrary signal. Students have the ability to develop and simulate projects before damaging expensive hardware.

When combined with their industry leading PCB design tools (optional), PCB development becomes a part of the Proteus workflow. This ensures that from end-to-end your simulated project is prepared for manufacturing in a way that it was successfully simulated. 3D Visualisation of the PCB is the final polish to preview your board before it's manufactured and populated.
