Description
Learn PCB design with Pads Professional, Siemens's circuit design software (Software License is included)

One of the key parts of electronic design is creating a printed circuit board (PCB) but there are many challenges that many engineers face within a complex PCB design. Pads Professional is a powerful integrated circuit design software that supports a variety of PCB design needs and provides affordable features to help engineers to get products to market faster.

Pads layout software offers sketch routing tool that is an automated intelligent routing method to speed up PCB design and, hence, it reduces the PCB design time dramatically. In this software, the remarkable routing of automation capabilities are:

fan-out for signals, hierarchical 2D/3D planning & placement, dynamic copper pour, dynamic planes, tuning of high-speed nets, and sketch routing.

Hyperlynx thermal analysis is the other capability provided by this software that allows engineers to analyze the effect of heat generated by components and meet the thermal constraints

Integration between schematic and layout workspace is the other helpful feature that reduces errors within designing

A large number of parts, symbols, and footprints are accessible on the PARTQUEST website and you can download and use them in Pads Professional software, so it can be the other advantage of PADS-designed software.

In this course, we will focus on essential tools and features in pads professional software to create printed circuit boards and you will learn what you need to know about designing your own PCB by using this software.
