PCB Design solution that helps companies with circuit design time and design risk by simulating analog circuits
About MPLAB Mindi Analog Simulator
MPLAB® Mindi™ Analog Simulator reduces circuit design time and design risk by simulating analog circuits prior to hardware prototyping. The simulation tool uses a SIMetrix/SIMPLIS simulation environment, with options to use SPICE or piecewise linear modeling, that can cover a very wide set of possible simulation needs. This capable simulation interface is paired with proprietary model files from Microchip to model specific Microchip analog components in addition to generic circuit devices. This simulation tool installs and runs locally on your PC. Once downloaded, no Internet connection is required, and the simulation run time is not dependent on a remotely located server. The result is fast, accurate analog circuit simulations. Run the simulation tool directly on your own PC; once installed no Internet connection is required.

Sensbench
Sensbench is a browser-based circuit and microcontroller simulator for learning, prototyping, and testing Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi Pico, and other supported boards. Users place virtual boards and components on a breadboard, connect circuits, edit sketches, compile firmware, and run it in an emulated microcontroller while viewing serial output and component behavior. It also supports SPICE analog simulation and mixed digital-analog circuits. Guided examples and virtual sensors, displays, LEDs, relays, and other parts are included. An optional AI builder turns a written project request into a parts list, wiring plan, and firmware, while an MCP server lets compatible AI clients operate the workbench. The core simulator is free to use in a web browser; optional AI credits and subscription plans add AI usage and project features. Sensbench also sells physical project kits with pre-flashed boards and guides, including kits designed to connect to Home Assistant over local Wi-Fi.
