Mouser Electronics has announced the launch of a PCB design integration tool MultiSIM BLUE, designed in collaboration with National Instruments Co. (NI). The powerful tool is available free globally, and is offered in English and German as well as Simplified Chinese.

This all-new PCB design integration tool utilizes the Berkeley SPICE engine and includes a preloaded component library of over 100,000 frequently used components from multiple Mouser databases.  MultiSIM BLUE facilitates real-time BOM price quotes and component database updates enhance the creative design engineering efficiency. The tool supports pre-layout design convergence analysis and mixed-signal simulation, and can handle components as complex as BGAs with over 1000 pins on pin-pitches down to 0.8mm. MultiSIM BLUE also provides a 3D visualization of the PCB with no limits on the shape and size of the PCB, thereby enabling innovative, forward-looking design.
