PCB copy board software comparison [PCB copy board]
Update date：2012-6-26
Copy board software market face with the following categories: 1.Quickpcb 3.0-5.0; Protel's protel 99se; 3.protel the DXP; 4.Protel, P-of CAD the; 5.PADS; 6.Cadence.
The PROTEL series products, we will certainly not unfamiliar protel software ACCEL Technologies Inc introduced the TANGO software for electronic-aided design software.
Quickpcb fact, it is modified protel software, and copy board has nothing to do something to delete all the left buttons and functions are designed specifically for the PCB copy board service, and the finished version, a lot of copy board companies and personal use, its advantage is that the grassland, suitable for beginners.
For PRTTLE range of products in particular, PADS, the PADS software is MentorGraphics circuit schematic and PCB design tools.
The the PowerPCB its series ---- PADS2005 ---- PADS2007 of ---- PADS9.0 ---- PADS9.1 ---- PADS9.2 ---- PADS9.3-- ..., there is no PADS2009. Mentor Graphics PADS Layout / Router environment as the industry's leading PCB design platform, with its powerful interactive placement and routing features and easy to use features, the most active communications, semiconductors, consumer electronics, medical electronics and other industrial fields a wide range of applications. PADS Layout / Router supports a complete PCB design process, covering imported from schematic netlist, rule-driven, interactive layout, DRC / DFT / DFM verification and analysis, until the final production file (Gerber), the assembly file and bill of materials (BOM) and output a full range of functional requirements to ensure high efficiency of the PCB engineers to complete design tasks.
The advantage is the function of the more powerful, the drawback is that too much memory, but more complicated to install.
We separate mention Cadence, Cadence Design Systems Inc. Is the world's largest Electronic Design (Electronic Design Technologies), procedures for program services and design service providers. Design software Cadence products covers the whole process of electronic design, including system-level design, functional verification, IC integrated and layout, analog, mixed signal and RF IC design, full custom IC design, IC physical verification, PCB design and hardware simulation modeling.
The software used in relatively small, estimated or popularity is not enough, but this software has a great advantage in many aspects of the routing, simulation, I believe that the software will be more and more people, and in many homes school to carry out such class.
Taken together, the currently most widely used or protel product, copy board software does not have good or bad, just like typing the same software you think Intelligent ABC is worse than what you Pinyin input method, as long as you use skilled, the same people quickly, select the one you are familiar with, of course, we have to learn some new products, so the product's features will be more powerful and can improve our speed and efficiency, we have to advance with the times.
