NI Multisim (formerlyMultiSIM) is an electronicschematic capture and simulation program which is part of asuite of circuit design programs,[1] along withNI Ultiboard. Multisim is one of the few circuit design programs to employ the originalBerkeleySPICE based software simulation.[2] Multisim was originally created by a company namedElectronics Workbench Group, which is now a division ofNational Instruments. Multisim includes microcontroller simulation (formerly known as MultiMCU),[3] as well as integrated import and export features to theprinted circuit board layout software in the suite,NI Ultiboard.[4]
Multisim is widely used in academia and industry for circuits education, electronic schematic design and SPICE simulation.[5]
Multisim was originally calledElectronics Workbench[6] and created by a company calledInteractive Image Technologies.[7] At the time it was mainly used as an educational tool to teachelectronics technician andelectronics engineering programs incolleges anduniversities. 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 withUltimate Technology, a PCB layout software company.[citation needed]
In 2005, Interactive Image Technologies was acquired byNational Instruments[8]Electronics Workbench Group and Multisim was renamed to NI Multisim.[9]
