Your work in this course has required you to perform numerou

Your work in this course has required you to perform numerous lab activities using Multisim and its virtual instruments to measure the operational characteristics of several electronic circuits.

Explain how you believe the quality of your work has improved through exposure to these virtual instruments. How does a tool like Multisim enable you to perform your work in a timely manner at a high level of quality? Do you think that Multisim is a quality software package? Do you have faith in its simulation results? What confidence do you have that a circuit simulated by Multisim will behave the same way if it is actually constructed out of real components? How is the quality of your lab reports enhanced through screen shots of Multisim? How have your new skills in using Multisim improved your ability to develop and test an electronic circuit?

Solution

Multisim is equipped with a database of over 26,000 components validated by leading semiconductor manufacturers such as Analog Devices, Infineon, NXP, ON Semiconductor, and Texas Instruments. The comprehensive Multisim library of up-to-date amplifiers, diodes, transistors, and switch mode power supplies paired with advanced simulation makes it possible to save as much as 15 days of development time per design.

An intuitive simulation environment makes it possible for you to optimize the performance of circuits earlier in the design flow to meet specifications and reduce prototype iterations. Evaluate circuit behavior with 20 advanced SPICE analyses (such as AC, Monte Carlo, and Noise) and 22 easy-to-configure measurement instruments. Unique to Multisim is the ability to expand analysis capabilities with a library of custom instruments developed in NI LabVIEW software.

Evaluate transient response, visualize steady-state ripples, determine power efficiency, and review thermal performance with the Multisim library of advanced power components such as power MOSFETs, IGBTs, and switching controllers. The complete NI design solution for power electronics helps you to design intuitively and with greater accuracy.

Easily move through the design flow from complex schematic files to part placement to copper trace routing and finally to industry-standard fabrication file export. Domain experts, engineers, and researchers can shorten time to prototype using the integrated platform of Multisim and Ultiboard

Multisim has proven success in a wide range of aerospace and national research applications including avionics equipment for data acquisition, communication applications, and the design of electronics for defense systems.

Multisim combines an industry-leading simulation engine with a library of accurate devices from semiconductor manufacturers such as Analog Devices, Maxim, Infineon, EPC, and more for in-depth analysis of a broad range of applications.
