Lab - 2: Introduction to Proteus & Simulation of Basic Electronic Circuits
Objectives :
• To know about Proteus software.
• Hands-on Circuit Simulation (Enhances understanding of theoretical concepts and
builds problem-solving skills).
• Visualizing Circuit Behavior (Observe voltage waveforms, current flows).
• Safety and Cost-Efficiency (Proteus enables students to conduct experiments
virtually, avoiding any potential safety hazards and reducing material costs).
• Complex Circuit Analysis (students can design and analyze complex circuits that
might be challenging to implement physically).
PROTEUS :
Proteus is a widely used electronic design automation (EDA) software suite
developed by Lab center Electronics. It is primarily used for electronic circuit
simulation, schematic capture, and PCB (Printed Circuit Board) layout design.
Proteus offers two main components:
1. Proteus ISIS: This is the schematic capture module of the software. It allows you
to design and draw electronic circuits using various components such as resistors,
capacitors, transistors, microcontrollers, and more. You can create and interconnect
components to design complex circuits.
2. Proteus ARES: This module handles PCB layout design. After creating and
simulating the circuit in ISIS, you can transfer the design to ARES for designing the
physical layout of the printed circuit board. ARES provides features for arranging
components, defining the board shape, creating copper tracks, and generating the
Gerber files required for PCB fabrication. One of the key strengths of Proteus is its
integrated simulation capability. Users can simulate their designed circuits using a
powerful simulator that can model analog, digital, and mixed-mode circuits
accurately. This simulation helps to verify the functionality and behavior of the circuit
before prototyping and manufacturing. Proteus is popular among students, hobbyists,
and professional electronics engineers due to its user-friendly interface, vast library of
electronic components, and its ability to simulate a wide range of circuits. A
demonstration on the use of PROTEUS will be given to you in this lab session, after
that; you are encouraged to learn to use the software interactively.
DRAWING CIRCUITS IN PROTEUS
1.a Resistors in parallel Circuit :
Resistors are arranged in a parallel configuration and connected to a 12-volt power supply. A
voltmeter is placed across the parallel network to measure the voltage drop.
1.b :Resistors in parallel Circuit But with reversed connection
2.a : Resistors in Series Circuit :
A series resistor circuit is constructed, connected to a 12V voltage source. A voltmeter placed
across the entire series combination measures 12V
2.b : Resistors in series Circuit but with reversed polarity of
voltmeter :
To demonstrate the effect of reversed voltmeter polarity, a series resistor circuit is connected
to a 12-volt source. A voltmeter, intentionally connected with reversed polarity across the
series combination, yields a reading of -12 volts
3.a Resistors in Series Parallel (mixed) Combination Circuit :
To demonstrate the voltage characteristics of a mixed series-parallel resistor circuit, a 12 volt
source is connected to the resistor network. A voltmeter measures the total voltage drop
across the mixed combination, resulting in a reading of 12 volts
3.b : Series Parallel Combination of resistors But with reversed
polarity :
To demonstrate the effect of reversed polarity in a mixed circuit, a series-parallel resistor
network is connected to a 12-volt source. A voltmeter, intentionally connected with reversed
polarity, yields a reading of -12 volts
.
4.a : Putting the resistor and voltage as the teacher give us
instructions about it.
4.b : Putting the same resistor and voltage as above but reversing the
polarity of the battery.
5.a : Following the rules,the following voltage and resistor is same as
of the individual student’s registration number.
5.b : Following the rules,the following voltage and resistor is same as of the
individual student’s registration number.
6.a : Putting the resistors in series with battery(10V) and with voltage in
parallel connection so the net voltage is 6V as shown in the figure.
6.b : Putting the resistors in series with battery(10V) and with voltage in parallel
connection but reversing the polarity of the battery So the net voltage across the
battery would be -6V as shown in the figure.
