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 designed right the first time, avoiding costly overdesign and saving test cycles with HyperLynx Signal Integrity.

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.
