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.

CircuitSim
CircuitSim is a full SPICE circuit simulator with a 3,000+ component library and a modern schematic editor. No install, free to get started. Built for students, educators, and professionals.
It runs in a browser tab and needs no admin rights, so it works on Chromebooks and locked-down school laptops. Run seven kinds of analysis: interactive, interactive operating point, transient, AC sweep, DC operating point, DC sweep, and parameter sweep. Results plot on oscilloscope-style charts, with probes you can drop anywhere in the circuit. Define custom parts from SPICE model text or import KiCad symbols.
CircuitSim also imports Multisim Live designs ahead of that product's retirement on September 15, 2026. It is the only browser tool that opens .csim, .ms14, and .msjs files, and it rebuilds the schematic with wiring, placement, net labels, probes, and simulation settings intact.
Classroom licensing adds seat assignment, anonymous student seats, and private student work.
