Download and install the MC34063 Boost Converter Library for Proteus Simulation

If you’re working on power electronics simulations in Proteus, adding the MC34063 Boost Converter library is essential. The MC34063 is a versatile DC-DC converter IC that can step up (boost), step down (buck), or invert voltages efficiently. In this guide, you’ll learn how to download, install, and use the MC34063 Boost Converter library in Proteus software for simulation.

Step 1: Download the MC34063 Boost Converter Library

Before you start, you’ll need the library files. You can download the MC34063 Boost Converter Library from the link provided below:

Once downloaded, extract the files. Inside the extracted folder, you’ll find two subfolders:

• Library (contains the schematic symbols and footprints)
• Model (contains the simulation model for Proteus)

Now, let’s move on to the installation process.

Step 2: Install the Library Files in Proteus

Follow these steps to add the library files to Proteus:

1. Copy the Library Files

• Open the extracted folder and go to the Library folder.
• Copy all the files inside this folder.

2. Paste in the Proteus Library Folder

• Locate the Proteus shortcut icon on your desktop.
• Right-click on it and select Open file location.
• Navigate to the main Proteus 7 or 8 folder.
• Open the Library folder and paste the copied files here.

Step 3: Install the Model Files in Proteus

1. Copy the Model Files

• Open the Model folder from the extracted files.
• Copy the contents of this folder.

2. Paste in the Proteus Model Folder

• Again, go to Proteus’s installation directory by right-clicking the Proteus icon and selecting Open file location.
• Open the Models folder.
• Paste the copied files here.

Now, you have successfully installed the MC34063 Boost Converter library in Proteus!

Step 4: Verify Installation in Proteus

1. Restart Proteus if it was already open.
2. Open Proteus ISIS and search for Boost Converter in the component selection.
3. You should now see the MC34063 Boost Converter.
4. Place the component on the schematic workspace.
5. Zoom in to view the input and output pins (labeled +, – for input and +, – for output).
