Proteus 8.14 Released

Proteus v8.14 has been released. This latest version of the PCB Design and Circuit Simulation software adds dedicated support for testpoints, improvements to Differential Pair Routing, Resin Filled Via Support (NCVF), additional support for track tapers and teardrops, improved “align and distribute” functionality in the PCB Layout, and simulation support for new microcontroller variants. Track tapering and teardrops are typically more important on relatively fragile “Fleible PCBs” (FPCs), and help to counteract cracking and tearing of flexed tracks at otherwise sharp joints. Resin-Filled-Vias (otherwise known as “Non-Conductive-Via-Fill”) are typically used when via-in-pad situations are necessitated, such as with high-density BGAs. On the simulation side, support for a number of the latest PIC18 MCUs from the 18FQ and 18FK lines has been added. Support for the “Arduino Blue Pill” board (based on an STM32F103C8T6) has been added to Visual Designer, the drag-and-drop code-by-flowchart editor.
