Introduction Electronic Circuit Designer eLabtronics has
integrated the documentation, hardware and software design of PIC
applications into a patented software technology called ezCircuit
Designer (ezCD). As
soon as the user selects a circuit, ezCircuit Designer displays all
the possible pin connections on the chip and suggested pins are
highlighted. Thus a node based block diagram is formed that
represents the functional circuit sections attached to the
microcontroller. Double clicking on a block will zoom into the
circuit down at the component level. Descriptive and design
information is attached to each circuit section. The
Programmer circuit group allows in-circuit programming
connectors to be added to the design. Users can also add their own
circuits that can be re-used and distributed to other users by means
of a graphical wizard.
Currently the software supports 10 PIC microcontrollers that can be selected
from a table that has the full product selection data
displayed. These chips include the PIC16F84A, PIC16F628A, PIC16F819,
PIC16F877, PIC16F877A, PIC12F629, PIC12F675, PIC16F882, PIC16F886
and PIC16F887 from Microchip
Technology Inc. (USA). Complete Data Sheets are available for each chip and ezCircuit Designer can suggest a chip based on the circuit blocks
currently in the design. A graphical oscillator setting wizard
allows easy clock settings for each chip. ezCircuit
Designer has three major outputs: the documents, the hardware
schematics and the program for the microcontroller Formatted
documentation structures are given to help with Specification,
Management and Design Documentation. Pin Settings, Parts Lists and
Test Procedures are automatically generated and updated. An overall
project summary shows all the project files currently contained in
the project folder. The
final hardware diagrams can be exported to Proteus Lite schematics
in a single step or graphic files of the circuit can be generated.
Printing is flexible with tick options to print each section. Each
of the circuits comes with software drivers that are formatted
into test microcontroller programs for the user. Hence a single
click export to Assembler or CoreChart Graphical Assembler generates
a step-by-step test sequence that formats all the necessary
connections and variables for the programmer to concentrate on the
algorithm needed for the product. Three
working example projects are provided to help the user become
familiar with the system. The Help Section includes a description of
all the available functions as well as the example projects. "I, too, have been most impressed with ezCircuit Designer and Robs feedback shows that people see this as enabling their start in electronics with added confidence. It also supports the work of the more serious and informed designers."
