Proteus软件是英国Lab Center Electronics公司出版的EDA工具软件（该软件中国总代理为广州风标电子技术有限公司）。它不仅具有其它EDA工具软件的仿真功能，还能仿真单片机及外围器件。它是目前比较好的仿真单片机及外围器件的工具。虽然目前国内推广刚起步，但已受到单片机爱好者、从事单片机教学的教师、致力于单片机开发应用的科技工作者的青睐。

Proteus是世界上著名的EDA工具(仿真软件)，从原理图布图、代码调试到单片机与外围电路协同仿真，一键切换到PCB设计，真正实现了从概念到产品的完整设计。是目前世界上唯一将电路仿真软件、PCB设计软件和虚拟模型仿真软件三合一的设计平台，其处理器模型支持8051、HC11、PIC10/12/16/18/24/30/DsPIC33、AVR、ARM、8086和MSP430等，2010年又增加了Cortex和DSP系列处理器，并持续增加其他系列处理器模型。在编译方面，它也支持IAR、Keil和MPLAB等多种编译器。-Proteus is EDA software tools UK Lab Center Electronics, Inc. publication (the software distributor in China for the Guangzhou Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. Weathervane). Not only does it have other EDA tools simulation capabilities, but also simulation microcontroller and peripheral devices. It is better simulation tool microcontroller and peripheral devices. Although the domestic promotion has just started, but has been SCM lovers, teachers engaged in teaching SCM, SCM is committed to favor the development and application of science and technology workers. Proteus is the world' s leading EDA tools (simulation software),　the schematic layout, code debugging the MCU and peripheral circuit co-simulation, a key switch to the PCB design, truly complete design　concept to product. Is the only circuit simulation software, PCB design software and simulation software triple virtual model design platform, its processor models support 8051, HC11, PIC10/12/16/18/24/30/DsPIC33, AVR world, A
