National Instruments Multisim is an analog and digital simulation environment based upon two simulation technologies: a SPICE-based simulator for analog simulation and an event-driven simulator, based on XSPICE technology, for digital simulation.

Circuit simulation is widely regarded as a critical step in the design flow. SPICE simulation is the de facto standard for analog circuit simulation. Over the years, many enhancements and additions to SPICE have extended its functionality and range of applicability. NI Multisim adds to the versatility of SPICE by incorporating a mixed-mode simulator, allowing fast simulation of both analog and digital components together.

R&D Staff Tip of the Month
A new useful and easy-to-use feature in NI Multisim 10.0.1 is the Arbitrary Spice Block component. It allows you to insert SPICE code directly into a Multisim netlist through a text interface, without needing to create a new component, or edit a pre-existing device model. Once the block is placed onto the schematic, you can simply type in the SPICE code to imbed a particular device, configuration or simulation process in any schematic.
