NI Multisim (formerly MultiSIM) is an electronic schematic capture and simulation program which is part of a suite of circuit design programs, [1] along with NI Ultiboard. Multisim is one of the few circuit design programs to employ the original Berkeley SPICE based software simulation. [2] Multisim was originally created by a company named Electronics Workbench Group, which is now a division of National Instruments. Multisim includes microcontroller simulation (formerly known as MultiMCU), [3] as well as integrated import and export features to the printed circuit board layout software in the suite, NI Ultiboard. [4]

Contents

Multisim is widely used in academia and industry for circuits education, electronic schematic design and SPICE simulation. [5]

History

Multisim was originally called Electronics Workbench [6] and created by a company called Interactive Image Technologies. [7] At the time it was mainly used as an educational tool to teach electronics technician and electronics engineering programs in colleges and universities. National Instruments has maintained this educational legacy, with a specific version of Multisim with features developed for teaching electronics.[ citation needed ]

In 1999, Multisim was integrated with Ultiboard after the original company merged with Ultimate Technology, a PCB layout software company.[ citation needed ]

In 2005, Interactive Image Technologies was acquired by National Instruments [8] Electronics Workbench Group and Multisim was renamed to NI Multisim. [9]
