How to Download and Use MicroSim Schematics for Circuit Design and Simulation

MicroSim Schematics is a software tool that allows you to create and simulate electronic circuits using a graphical user interface. You can use it to design and test analog, digital, mixed-signal, and power electronics circuits. MicroSim Schematics is part of the MicroSim DesignLab suite, which also includes PSpice, a powerful circuit simulator.

In this article, you will learn how to download and install MicroSim Schematics on your Windows PC, how to create a simple circuit using the built-in components library, and how to run a simulation and view the results. You will also learn how to access online resources and tutorials for more information and help.

Downloading and Installing MicroSim Schematics

MicroSim Schematics is no longer available as a standalone product, but you can still download an evaluation version of MicroSim DesignLab Release 8, which contains both Schematics and PSpice. The evaluation version has some limitations, such as the maximum number of nodes and devices in a circuit, but it is still useful for learning and experimenting with basic circuits.

To download the evaluation version of MicroSim DesignLab Release 8, follow these steps:

Go to https://microsim-schematics.software.informer.com/ [^1^] and click on the \"Request Download link when available\" button. You will need to provide your name and email address to receive the download link.

Check your email inbox for a message from Software Informer with the subject \"Download link for MicroSim Schematics\". Click on the link in the message to start downloading the setup file (msdl8.exe).

Run the setup file (msdl8.exe) and follow the instructions on the screen to install MicroSim DesignLab Release 8 on your PC. You may need to restart your PC after the installation is complete.

You can also download a more up-to-date version of OrCAD DesignLab, which is the successor of MicroSim DesignLab, from https://www.orcad.com/ [^2^]. OrCAD DesignLab includes OrCAD Capture, which is similar to MicroSim Schematics, and OrCAD PSpice, which is compatible with MicroSim PSpice. However, OrCAD DesignLab is not free and requires a license to use.

Creating a Simple Circuit Using MicroSim Schematics

Once you have installed MicroSim DesignLab Release 8 on your PC, you can launch MicroSim Schematics by clicking on the Start menu, then Programs, then MicroSim DesignLab 8.0 Evaluation Version, then Schematics. You will see a blank schematic window where you can create your circuit.

To create a simple circuit using MicroSim Schematics, follow these steps:

Select File -> New -> Analog or Mixed A/D from the menu bar to create a new schematic file.

Select Place -> Part from the menu bar or press P on your keyboard to open the Part Browser window. This window shows all the available components that you can use in your circuit.

In the Part Browser window, select ANALOG from the Group list and VDC from the Part list. This is a DC voltage source that you can use to power your circuit.

Click on OK to close the Part Browser window and place the VDC component on your schematic window. You can move it around by dragging it with your mouse.

Double-click on the VDC component to open its properties window. Here you can change its name, value, and other parameters. For example, you can change its value to 5V by typing 5 in the DC Voltage box.

Click on OK to close the properties window and apply the changes.

Repeat steps 3-6 to place other components on your schematic window. For example, you can place a resistor (R), a capacitor (C), an LED (D), and a ground (GND) from the ANALOG group.
