Microcontroller Based System Designproteus Simulation for Enhancing Designing Skills

Advancing Designing Skills through Microcontroller Based System Design and Simulation

Abstract

Today’s embedded world uses variety of microcontrollers as the heart of processing. Microcontrollers are one of the most important tools for solving engineering control problems. Several microcontroller programming and electrical circuit simulation software packages are available for industrial and educational use. These software packages allow the user to develop and test the complete microcontroller-based designs before the construction of the physical prototype. The proposed paper demonstrates the potential use of two software for microcontroller programming (Keil) and electrical circuit design and simulation (Proteus VSM) to enhance the designing skills. This paper elaborates the working and simulation of microcontroller based design before hardware implementation for the embedded system designers.
