May 06, 2003 industry-leading schematic capture and simulation tools for professional printed circuit board (PCB) design.
For those who perform schematic entry without simulation, Electronics Workbench introduces Multicap 7. It is an
exceptional capture program, suitable for pure schematic entry, driving simulation or feeding PCB layout. Multicap�s
ease-of-use results directly from Electronic Workbench�s focus on optimizing the most repetitive tasks performed during every
schematic design.
Multicap 7 innovations include: modeless operation (eliminating the need to switch between part placement and wiring
modes), autowiring (just click on two pins and Multicap will automatically create a connection), quick and efficient part
placement from logical parts bins arranged on the desktop, rubber-banding on part moves, the world�s only �bus vectors�
(allowing users to wire wide buses of up to 128 bits in one simple step) and an integrated database that allows any design to
be instantly simulated or transferred to layout, each with the click of a single button.
Multisim 7 is a powerful simulation tool that allows the professional engineer to verify circuits and correct errors before they
propagate down the design flow and become costly mistakes. Multisim includes a completely integrated version of Multicap,
making it the ideal tool for creating and then instantly simulating circuits.
Multisim is the world�s most popular SPICE simulator offering a legacy of impressive functionality including: patented
co-simulation of SPICE/ VHDL/ Verilog/RF components, the industry�s only interactive simulator allowing circuits to be
changed �on-the-fly� during simulation and intuitive virtual instruments. Multisim 7 builds on this legacy with unique and
truly innovative capabilities � rare in today�s shrink-wrapped EDA market. These innovations include: circuit wizards that
self-generate circuitry to meet user defined parameters for filters and 555 Timers, automatic SPICE model makers, integration
with National Instruments� Labview� for acquisition of real signals and comparison to simulated results, Simulation Advisor,
new Virtual Instruments e.g. 4-channel oscilloscope, frequency counter, and new analyses e.g. characteristic I-V curves and 3dB
point.
�Multisim 7 and Multicap 7 are completely devoted to the requirements of professional mainstream designers,�said Ian Suttie,
vice president of sales and marketing for Electronics Workbench. �They form the foundation of our future integrated design
solutions and underscore our commitment to this market. We have more users around the globe than any other supplier of
shrink-wrapped EDA software. They have spoken and we have responded with innovative functionality simply not available
anywhere else.�
Added Bill Wignall, Electronics Workbench CEO, �These releases demonstrate our serious on-going commitment to
mainstream, desktop EDA. We are the only company in this portion of the market that is increasing its investments and
its attention to the customer, while dramatically enhancing its products with new features, power and functionality.
Electronics Workbench provides the long-term stability that corporations require and professional designers demand.�
