Proteus (Labcenter) does not include every IC by default. IR2153 model files or symbols/footprints for Proteus are available from:
Proteus does not have the IR2153 by default, but it does have the IR2151. These are almost identical for simulation purposes (same driver stage, same internal oscillator). The main difference is the IR2153 has a higher start-up voltage (13.5V vs 9.5V), which usually doesn't matter in basic transient simulation. ir2153 proteus library download best
Proteus includes the IR21531 (often labeled IR21531 or IR2153_31 in the ARDUINO or POWER libraries). This is functionally identical to the IR2153 for simulation purposes. The only difference is a slightly higher dead-time.
