NI Circuit Design Community Documents
By partnering up with the world’s largest semiconductor manufacturers, NI provides the components designers need to evaluate their circuit design. Multisim 12.0 has over 22,000 components with models that are developed and verified by the semiconductor manufacturers.
In the Automotive field, Multisim with its improved database, powerful simulation tools, and rapid prototyping capabilities offer an environment for optimized electronic circuits in many design areas such as LED drivers, motor control systems, sensor circuits, and automotive audio applications.
NI's relationship with ON semiconductor allowed us to include accurate models for over 1600 original components in Multisim's database from switching controllers, to integrated drivers, constant current regulators, and others.
In this example, I am trying to show how easy it is to use an integrated driver circuit for relays and inductive loads based on the models from ON Semiconductor in a Multisim design. Just drop a component on your design sheet such as the NUD3124 and with the proper bias, you will be able to visualize the circuit operation by running a quick transient analysis.
