i need a software for drawing electronic circuit with components as below:
1. microcontroller 8051
2. MAX232
3. DS18S20 temperature sensor
4. serial port

anyone can suggest for me what software have the above components? i currently using multisim 2001 but i found that some of the components doesn't have in multisim 2001.

thanks

u can use NI Cicuit design suite 10.0 or advanced versions..... u can even simulate ur MCU based circuits....the component database doesn't have a temperature sensor but u can built one........u can get an evaluation version of this program and by a simple trick u can even extend its evaluation period..........

Hi Snehasish,

u can get an evaluation version of this program and by a simple trick u can even extend its evaluation period..........

does this simple trick mean deleting the software after trial period and re-installing it afresh ?

I say express PCB is good as far as freeware is concerned.

btw, I have not used that software yet. But i think u can only create but cannot simulate, coz you need to have spice simulation library for that (again kind of coding)

Another freeware is the PCB123 software which has a huge component library and is fully functional. But as far as simulation is concerned (especially for uC ciruits),I feel proteus is the best though u would require a full version.
check the chill out section , maybe u could get a hint.

Is there a software which can convert schematic diagram to PCB layout automatically?

there are many like proteus/protel/orcad /PCAD2008 etc but the auto routing algorithm to convert is not as efficient as the human touch. the best way is to create the netlist from the schematic, import it in the PCB layout editor and trace the artwork manually once the ratnest is displayed.
