PADS Professional

PADS Professional enables PCB and mechanical engineers to collaborate in real-time built on world-class collaboration data transfer standards that eliminate boundaries and accelerate time-to-market.

Routing automation reduces PCB layout by up to 80%. With electronics design becoming more complex, automation is a major competitive advantage for experienced designers and engineers who “do-it-all”.

From flex/rigid-flex operations that understand unique structures, constraints, plane management, materials, and stack-ups, PADS Professional has the features to support flex/rigid-flex design.

Proper design practices and close attention to detail are essential for accurate functionality in analog mixed-signal (AMS) portions of your PCBs.

Ensure that you are getting designs right the first time, avoiding costly overdesign, and saving recurrent test cycles with built-in HyperLynx signal integrity analysis in PADS Professional.

Using integrated design for manufacturing analysis, electronic engineers and PCB designers can quickly and easily identify common issues that cause costly delays in PCB fabrication and assembly, before hand-off to manufacturing.

RF design is being driven by a growth in electronic devices using 6 to 100 GHz wireless technology, requiring access to PCB design tools to enable wireless design automation.

Empowers engineers to find the highest quality part content with validated and maintained ECAD models of tens of millions of parts. Powerful templates make part building easy for even complex parts.

Connect for PADS Professional is a secure cloud workspace empowering design team collaboration. With desktop integration, design data is organized for sharing, visualization, BOM review, and more.

The Supply Chain application empowers engineers with real-time component sourcing data to make more informed part decisions when cost-of-change is lowest.
