When you launch Prteus click on New Project or press CTRL+N. A black colored window would appear that is PCB layout tab, you can switch the tab to schematic captureClick on P button it stands for place, a new window would appear, In this window you can search for the components by typing exact names like 1n4007(diode) or simply type diode but if you want to make PCB you have to check that your selected component has a PCB design which is shown in PCB preview.
Power Supply Circuit Simulator Proteus 1
Loaded Solar cell simulation on Proteus. Power-supply current solar-cell simulation proteus. Share improve this question. $ So if I want to make a solar cell with a working load I have to do it physically, I can't do it virtually,to see if my circuits works or not. Hi.I have a problem using DC voltage in proteus.In the attachment photo you see dc voltage in proteus has only one side for wiring and that's the +ve side.but there is no -ve in there.but when I came to analyse this circuit I had to find the current through the -ve side of the voltage source to ground.If proteus voltage source is virtually grounded then that means current will be zero because.
What Is Proteus
For this tutorial I designed a Variable Power Supply. Make sure you selected the little diode button. select any component as I clicked 1n4007 from devices section by clicking them once, then click in the area provided for drawing the circuit now the component is available to be place anyzhere, to place click again. If you want another 1N4007 just click again as many times as you want. Similarly place all the components.
to join the components with each other click on one end of a component, a line would start, you can click on the other components where you want it to join like in the picture. Similarly complete your circuit diagram. To change the values of components(resistors, capacitors) double click on the component and change it. Similarly change the value of VSINE by double clicking it.
As it is AC you need to add frequency and voltage value as mentioned at output terminals of transformer. To add a voltmeter click on the meter icon and select DC VOLTMETER then click where ever you want to place it connect it by wires(lines) if necessary. To check the circuit click on the play icon on bottom left of the proteus.
I have attached last two pictures by changing the value of variable resistor check the output voltage. At this step we have simulated our circuit and verified it on Proteus you need to save this file for later purposes. Board Edge (Border or Size).
Click on the PCB layout tab then zoom in to upper left corner as shown in pictures this block is 1x1 cm in area. Now from the left toolbar click on the Square button and from the bottom toolbar select Board Edge. Draw a rectangle of any size by clicking anywhere inside the blue area of the PCB window, as you can see I have drawn a 2 x 2 cm² block. This is the size of your PCB you can change it by hoovering your mouse pointer at any corner off this Block. As I have also changed it after completing the design.
Now click on the small diode icon which indicate that component lists. Select the component and then click inside the yellow Square to place it. When you would be placing a component you will see green lines which indicates the connection of one point to the other point and the Yellow arrow head which indicates that this component is to join with this terminal of the other component.
Place the components wherever you like keep in mind that you choose simple and easy path which is indicated by the green lines. For etching you need to print the PCB layout on a glossy sheet from a laser printerFor printing the PCB layout there are two methods. Go to output click on export graphics then click on export Adobe PDF file in this method you will save the PCB layout as a PDF file and dialog box will open from this box only select the bottom copper and the Board Edge and un-check everything else and click OK. You need to check the actual size printing option while printing from a adobe or any other PDF viewer. Go to output click on print layout, a dialog box will appear only check bottom copper and board Edge adjust the PCB as shown in the print preview you can print it anywhere on the page and click OK.
