Getting Started With the MPLAB Mindi Analog Simulator

After successfully downloading and installing the Mindi Analog Simulator, a new schematic can be created by selecting either the New SIMetrix Schematic or the New SIMPLIS Schematic option on the Welcome page. The SIMPLIS engine is primarily geared towards switching power systems, while the SIMetrix system is a more general-purpose SPICE-based simulation engine.

For the purposes of this technical brief, all schematics for the following examples were created using the SIMetrix simulation engine. Once a new schematic has been created, a blank canvas will appear along with several options to create an analog circuit for simulation.
