PCB schematic design software

Orcad, which supports more than netlists, is basically an industry standard.

PCB layout software

1. Protel, now promotes Altium Designer. The mainstream of domestic low-end design is basically unused abroad. Easy to learn, suitable for beginners, easy to use, occupies more system resources, and has high requirements for computer configuration.

There is still a large market for people using Protel in China. After all, the hardware circuit design of small and medium-sized enterprises is still the majority of low-end, but it is recommended that you contact early and learn other better software functions. Do not always hover at a lower level. The salary is not very friendly, ha ha. Altium Designer Winter 09 only provides unified application solutions one by one to integrate all the necessary technologies and functions required for electronic product development.

Altium Designer Winter 09 integrates board-level and FPGA system design in a single design environment, embedded software development based on FPGA and discrete processors, as well as PCB layout design, editing and manufacturing.

It also integrates modern design data management functions, making Altium Designer Winter 09 a complete solution for electronic product development-a solution that meets current and future development needs.

2, PADS Pads software is also quite a lot of people, easy to use, easy to use, personally feel how many times than Protel. It is suitable for low-end design and is called the uncrowned king at the low end. Now the most widely used EDA software on the market is suitable for the needs of most small and medium-sized enterprises.

In the high-speed circuit board, there is no simulation. It is used in combination with other special simulation tools (such as Hyperlynx). Pads Software is Mentorgraphics' circuit schematic diagram and PCB design tool software. At present, this software is one of the most commonly used circuit design software for circuit design engineers and technicians, and the most commonly used tool software for high-end PCB design users. As the mainstream PCB design platform in the industry, Mentor Graphics’ land layout/router environment has powerful interactive layout functions, easy to learn and easy to use, and has been used in the most active industrial fields such as communications, semiconductors, consumer electronics, and medical electronics. being widely used. PADS layout/router supports a complete PCB design process, including importing schematic netlists, rule-driven interactive layout, DRC/DFT/DFM check and analysis, until the final production file (Gerber),

A full range of functional requirements such as assembly files and BOM output ensure that PCB engineers complete design tasks efficiently. 3. The actual industry standard for Cadence Allegro high-speed circuit board design. Regardless of the other side is Super Bull. The PCB layout tools are absolutely top-notch. After a little familiarity, I never want to use other tools. The layout is super cool. The simulation is also very good, with its own simulation tools, signal integrity simulation, power integrity simulation can be done. It firmly occupies a dominant position when making PCB high-speed boards.

You know, 60% of computer motherboards and 40% of mobile phone motherboards in the world can be drawn with Allegro! Cadence's Electronic designs Automation products cover the entire process of electronic design, including system-level design, functional verification, IC synthesis and layout, analog, mixed-signal and RF IC design, and fully customized integrated circuit design.

The Cadence Allegro system interconnection platform such as IC physical verification, PCB design and hardware simulation modeling can design high-performance interconnections on integrated circuits, packages and PCBs. Using the collaborative design method of this platform, engineers can quickly optimize the system interconnection between I/O buffers and between integrated circuits, packages and PCBs. This method avoids hardware rework, reduces hardware costs and shortens the design cycle. The constraint-driven Allegro flow includes advanced functions for design capture, signal integrity, and physical implementation.

Because it is also supported by Cadence encounters and artist platforms, the Allegro collaborative design method makes efficient design chain collaboration a reality.

4 Mentor WG is slightly lower than Rhythm, it is also a top tool, suitable for high-end circuit design, and it also has its own simulation tool. It's just that there are relatively few support service providers in the country, and not as many as the rhythm.

It should now be changed to Mentor EE2009 version. Mentor WG is a PCB design tool run by Mentor Graphics Company on the Windows NT/2000 platform.

It covers the design process fr
