Multisim<\/a> is a circuit simulation tool that is traditionally used to simulate analog circuits. While this is incredibly useful, we were delighted to discovery that Multisim has been known to also<\/em>\u00a0be useful on the digital side.<\/p>\n

We were all heartbroken when we found that schematic capture was not going to be supported in <\/span>Xilinx Vivado<\/a>. Well dry your tears and ungrind your gears, for Multisim has solved that problem!<\/span><\/p>\n

On specific Digilent Boards, you can now use <\/span>Multisim<\/a> to program with schematic capture. This means that you can take full advantage of specific Xilinx FPGAs without writing a single line of code<\/em>. Currently Multisim works with the Vivado-compatible<\/span> Basys 3<\/a>, <\/span>Arty<\/a>, and <\/span>Cmod A7<\/a>. It also works with most<\/span> ISE<\/a> compatible boards.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Here you can see some of the Digilent Boards Available to use in Multisim.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

All you have to do, after (downloading and installing Multisim<\/a> and required files) is drag and drop the block diagram you want to be implemented on the FPGA.<\/p>\n

At NI Week 2017 we showed off this capablitity with a demo of\u00a0<\/span>Multisim<\/a> working with the Basys 3!<\/span><\/p>\n
