Good products just keep getting better. By the time you read this article, Interactive Image Technologies expects to have put the finishing touches on a new version of Workbench (available in October). According to the company, this new version will address many of the concerns our reviewer had with version 3.0:
-- Analog and digital simulators will be combined in one package, enabling
mixed-mode simulation.
-- Digital components will have propagation delays and other more realistic
properties.
-- There will be a choice between TTL (transistor-transistor logic) and
CMOS parts.
-- There will be multiple input gates and a larger array of standard parts,
such as counters, RAM, ROM, 555 timers, SCRs (silicon-controlled
rectifiers), and triacs.
-- Op amps will have power-supply pins.
-- Clock generators will support multiple
frequencies.
No price had been set when we went to press, but Interactive Image expects the price to be a bit higher than for version 3.0.
