circuit board design, PCB design , also known as circuit board called the Printed circuit board, abbreviated as PCB, so the circuit board design , also known as PCB design in English ; circuit board design, draw by hand from the beginning to the present, the more massive component library , and powerful features such as automatic placement and routing , more engineers to help us design a circuit board .
A qualified electronics engineer, engaged in PCB design work must master more than one circuit board design software , we have been committed to teaching PCB software effort preparing to enter the electronics industry personnel for you to provide a variety of circuit board design software teaching materials , and now we have introduced a PCB software video tutorials, including video tutorials and Protel 99se CAM350 video tutorial two series.
Board to carry out design work , is a very lengthy process , because , when we conduct board design , it is necessary to choose a suitable design your own circuit board , PCB Resources Network which our article , we will introduction circuit board design tool in the time we choose to see which suit themselves, of course , in their daily use among different tasks, choose a different type of circuit board design software , it is necessary , no matter what kind of circuit board design software , is not perfect , the key is that we find a cooperative own tools that can quickly, easily complete their circuit board design.
Circuit board design , concrete can be divided into several parts , namely, schematic design , PCB design, circuit simulation , CAM engineering software , copy board software. Among this paper , we are mainly talking about the circuit board design software , refer to the schematic design and PCB design two parts .
Circuit board design software , generally contain schematic design and PCB design two modules , the mainstream powerful PCB design software , including even more modules , and now the mainstream circuit board design software are Protel, OrCAD, Viewlogic, PowerPCB, Cadence PSD, MentorGraphices the Expedition PCB, Zuken CadStart, Winboard / Windraft / Ivex-SPICE, PCB Studio, TANGO, PCBWizard ( with LiveWire supporting PCB production package ), ultiBOARD7 ( with multiSIM2001 supporting PCB production package ) , etc. and so on.
