Proteus PCB Design Packages

Proteus PCB design combines the ISIS schematic capture and ARES PCB layout programs to provide a powerful, integrated and easy to use suite of tools for professional PCB Design..

All Proteus PCB design products include an integrated shape based autorouter and a basic SPICE simulation capability as standard. More advanced routing modes are included in Proteus PCB Design Level 2 and higher whilst simulation capabilities can be enhanced by purchasing the Advanced Simulation option and/or micro-controller simulation capabilities.

Proteus Professional Starter Kit

• Full feature ISIS schematic capture with support for hierarchical design, bus pins, configurable bill of materials and much, much more.
• Netlist based ARES PCB layout with support of up to 16 copper layers, 10nm resolution, any angle component placement, full electrical and physical design rule checks and much more.
• Standard version of our integrated shape based auto-router (fully automated routing only)
• External Autorouter Interface - allows export and import of designs (in the most common format) to/from a dedicated external Autorouter.
• Support for one shaped based ground plane per layer.
• Component libraries containing over 10000 schematic parts and 1500 PCB footprints.
• Includes ProSPICE mixed mode simulator with 8000 models and 12 virtual instruments.
• 500 pin capacity for PCB design.
• Please note that the Starter Kit is limited to netlists of 500 physical pins and does not support automatic component placement, gate-swap optimization, partial power planes (including cut-outs), 3d Visualisation, ODB++ Output or the advanced routing modes. These features are only available in Level 2 and above.

Proteus PCB Design Level 1 and Level 1+

• These products offer exactly the same functionality as the Starter Kit but offer more realistic design capacities of 1000 or 2000 pins.
• Full feature ISIS schematic capture with support for hierarchical design, bus pins, configurable bill of materials and much, much more.
• Netlist based ARES PCB layout with support of up to 16 copper layers, 10nm resolution, any angle component placement, full electrical and physical design rule checks and much more.
• Standard version of our integrated shape based auto-router (fully automated routing only).
• External Autorouter Interface - allows export and import of designs (in the most common format) to/from a dedicated external Autorouter.
• Support for one shaped based ground plane per layer.
• Component libraries containing over 10000 schematic parts and 1500 PCB footprints.
• Includes ProSPICE mixed mode simulator with 6000 models and 12virtual instruments.
• 1000 pin capacity in Level 1; 2000 pin capacity in Level 1+.
• Please note that Level 1/1+ is limited to netlists of 1000/2000 physical pins and does not support automatic component placement, gate-swap optimization, partial power planes (including cut-outs), 3d Visualisation, ODB++ Output or the advanced routing modes. These features are only available in Level 2 and above.

Proteus PCB Design Level 2 and Level 2+

• These products are restricted in terms of pin count only, and same set of features as the top of the range Level 3. Extra functionality over Level 1 includes:
• Automatic component placement - this tool will automatic place the component specified in the netlist onto the board.
• Ability to run the integrated shape based router in interactive mode (partial routing, fanout control, etc.) or by loading custom scripts.
• 3D Visualisation of the current board including navigation and user application of 3D data to footprints.
• The ability to export your layouts using the ODB++ CAD/CAM data exchange format.
• Unlimited shape based power planes per layer.
• Automatic gateswap optimization.
• 1000 pin capacity in Level2; 2000 pin capacity in Level 2+

Proteus PCB Design Level 3

This is the top of the range package and offers all system features as above plus unlimited design capacity.
