How to Add a New Library in Proteus 8 Professional

Are you tired of not having access to the components you need for your circuit board design in Proteus? Do you wish there was an easier way to add new components and use them in your simulations? Look no further! In this article, we will show you how to add a new library in Proteus 8 Professional.

As we all know that Proteus doesn't have all the components in its database, so if you want to add new component in Proteus and want to use it in your simulation, then you have to add its library first. This may seem like a daunting task, but don't worry, we will guide you through each step.

Limitations of the Demonstration Version

Before we dive into adding a new library, let's take a look at the limitations of the demonstration version of Proteus 8 Professional. The demonstration version includes all features offered by the professional system including netlist-based PCB design with auto-placement, auto-routing, and graph-based simulation.

Adding a New Library in Proteus

To add a new library in Proteus, follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Download the Proteus library zip file for the component you want to add. For example, if you're looking to add an ARDUINO component, download the ARDUINO Proteus library.

Step 2: Extract the contents of the zip file to a folder on your computer.

Step 3: Open Proteus and go to File > Add Library.

Step 4: Browse to the folder where you extracted the components and select the .lib file.

Step 5: Click 'Open' to add the library to Proteus.

Adding a new library in Proteus 8 Professional is a straightforward process that can be completed in just a few steps. By following this tutorial, you'll be able to access all the components you need for your circuit board design and simulations. Whether you're a professional designer or just starting out, Proteus is an amazing software that makes it easy to build and verify complex circuits.
