About this course

This course teaches you how to design and simulate electronic circuits with Proteus software, step by step. You start with an introduction to the program and the course, then get to know the interface and the tools. Next you design simple circuits such as an LED circuit with a voltage source and a resistor, a circuit that controls an LED with a button, and you learn about measuring instruments in electronic circuits. Then you learn to use the variable resistor and the rectifier, switch LEDs on with a Deep Switch, and use the relay, the transistor and the MOSFET in circuits. After that you move on to the Operational Amplifier circuit and the motor circuit, then Logic Gate circuits, and you finish with the use of an Encoder and a Decoder. The course suits electronics students, hobbyists and anyone who wants to test circuits on the computer before building them. You need no previous experience with Proteus, because the explanation starts from the interface. Afterwards you will be able to build basic circuits, test them by simulation and understand how common components work.

Expected outcomes

Ability to design and simulate integrated electronic circuits.
Acquire skills to use Proteus efficiently and professionally.
Deep understanding of handling various electronic components.
Gain practical experience in solving technical problems in electronic circuits.
Boost confidence in your practical and professional skills in electronics.

Designing Electronic Circuits with Proteus

14 lectures

Introduction to the Course and ProgramIntroduces Proteus, which simulates and designs electronic circuits, and its value for drawing a circuit, testing it and catching errors before building it, plus its main parts and uses for students and engineers.5:27
Explaining the Program Interface and Tools UsedExplains the Proteus interface and tools, from opening Schematic Capture and the toolbar icons, to adding, moving and editing components, plus graphs, generators, and starting and stopping the simulation.12:14
Explanation of LED Driver Circuit with Voltage Source and ResistorExplains building an LED circuit with a battery and protection resistor in Proteus, changing voltage and resistance values, how a large resistor takes the voltage so the LED stays off, and the difference between series and parallel.13:42
Explanation of LED Control Circuit Using ButtonExplains a circuit that controls an LED with a button, adding a capacitor, a push button and a switch, wiring and running it, and getting the list of components, their values and prices from the software.10:38
Explanation of Measurement Devices in Electronic CircuitsExplains measuring instruments in Proteus for measuring voltage and current without a lab, showing the voltmeter connects in parallel and the ammeter in series, with voltage constant in parallel and current constant in series.15:57
Using Variable Resistor and Electronic RectifierExplains using a potentiometer to control an LED's brightness, and a diode that passes current in one direction only and blocks reverse current that could damage the circuit.9:06
Operating LEDs Using Deep SwitchExplains a circuit that powers several LEDs using a DIP switch that groups switches in one part, with a resistor per LED and a main switch, and measuring voltage and current in series and parallel.16:36
Using Relay in Electronic CircuitsExplains the relay as an electrical switch whose coil creates a magnetic field that moves the contact between Normally Closed and Normally Open, wired in an LED circuit with two voltages to switch a load with a small voltage.8:43
Using Transistor in Electronic CircuitsExplains using the transistor in circuits as a switch that passes voltage from one place to another depending on the voltage at its terminal, by building a circuit with resistors, an LED, a button and two voltage sources.12:39
Using MOSFET Component in Electronic CircuitsExplains using a MOSFET transistor as a voltage-controlled switch, connecting it to a relay coil to drive an LED and then a motor with a small voltage, and comparing it to the previous transistor types.13:59
Explanation of Operational Amplifier Usage CircuitExplains two circuits in Proteus: one with an operational amplifier that compares voltages and sets the LED output, and one with a 555 timer whose output depends on the on and off times and the resistor and capacitor values.16:47
Explanation of Motor Operating CircuitExplains a circuit that runs a DC motor in one direction using a MOSFET and a relay, then an attempt to run it in both directions by copying and mirroring the circuit, while fixing wiring and resistor value errors.13:33
Explanation of Logic Gate CircuitsExplains logic gates and the truth table of each: NOT, AND, OR, NAND, NOR, XOR and XNOR, testing them in Proteus with input toggles and an LED to show the output.14:32
Explanation of Using Encoder and DecoderExplains the difference between an encoder and a decoder, the decoder having few inputs and many outputs and the encoder the opposite, building a circuit for each in Proteus with an LED bar, and the difference between active high and active low.17:14
