nRF52832 Design Simulation

[Enrique]

Hi, I'm developing a new device using the nRF52832, I have finished the schematics design and I'm wondering how can I simulate the design to check if there is any mistakes in it.

Should I use Proteus? Multisim?

I have designed several schematics but never have simulate them, I would highly appreciate any info about How to do it.

Thanks.

What kind of simulations are you thinking of? Of the nRF chip itself?

[Enrique]

Hello Jorn, actually what I need to test in the simulation are the connections. The goal of the simulation is to ensure the proper functionality of the design once is sent to manufacture.

I apologise, I'm still not following, what kind of connections? The nRF chip itself cannot be simulated in a schematic designer as there is no model for it (it's behavior would depend on its programming). Typically you would simulate parts of the circuit individually, such as power supply, filters, RF output network etc. Then use design rule checks (DRC) in the layout designer to ensure the design full-fills the requirements.

Thank you again for your feedback Jorn,

Without knowing you just solved my question, I wantet to simulate the behave of the nRF chip and the connections with the sensors and actuators but taking in consideration your response, I shoul simulate only the behave of all the other IC's without the nRF.

Thanks again!
