A simulation version of the PICDEM mechatronics board created in Proteus VSM is provided on the support Web site www.picmicros.org.uk. The ISIS schematic is shown in Figure 4.14. The circuit has been organized into functional blocks, and some hardware features are not included to simplify the schematic.

For example, generic drive FETs were used for compactness on the schematic, rather than the specific devices. It was not necessary to include the ...
