PADS Professional Solutions

Electro-Mechanical Co-design

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

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”.

Rigid-Flex

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.

Analog/Mixed-Signal Simulation

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

Signal Integrity Analysis

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.

Design-for-Manufacturing

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

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.
