National Instruments Multisim now has microcontroller unit co-simulation capabilities, allowing you to include a microcontroller, programmed in assembly or C code, within your SPICE modeled circuit. The MCU functionality in Multisim enables students, educators and professional users to program MCU`s in assembly or C language within the familiar Multisim environment.

The MCU capability can be used with any of Multisim`s virtual instruments for a complete system simulation, including the microcontroller and all connected analog and digital SPICE components. The MCU Module supports Intel ®/Atmel ® 8051/8052 and Microchip PIC16F84a chips as well as a broad range of advanced peripherals like external RAM and ROM, keypads, graphical and alphanumeric LCDs and others. The MCU Module takes full advantage of the Multisim educational platform which makes it the ideal choice for courses such as digital electronics, computer architecture, MCU programming, embedded control, senior design and more! The attached archive contains all files necessary to complete this tutorial. However, this tutorial is showing how to create an MCU Module project from scratch, with the exception of source files. The MCU project used in this tutorial uses a PIC16F84 from Microchip to demonstrate a simple up and down counter. Port A of the microcontroller is configured for input and connected to two switches. Port B is configured as output and connected to a 7-segment displays. The switches are used to turn the display on and off and change counting direction. The 7-segment display shows the current counter value (0-F). This MCU Module example consists of two identical projects. One build with assembly and one with C code. Use the following components to complete the circuit as shown below. All components can be used with...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
