A complete schematic design solution for creation, definition, and reuse making the capture and definition of your schematic simple and fast.

PADS Professional includes advanced technology for all aspects of PCB layout, including sketch routing, hierarchical 2D/3D planning & placement, dynamic copper pour, panelization, and ECAD-MCAD collaboration.

Powerful and easy-to-use constraint management provides a common, integrated definition environment for the creation, review, and verification of PCB design constraints.

Optimize FPGA I/O in the context of the PCB, all the time keeping your FPGA in sync with the PCB. Also includes FPGA vendor neutral logic synthesis that lets you keep your options open before committing to a specific architecture.

Project data management features in PADS Professional ensure quality, integrity and security of data used throughout the design flow.

Create documentation and manufacturing-ready outputs at either the board or panel level.

Intuitive project and design navigation, complete hierarchical support, and advanced tools for rules and attribute management help you meet your PCB design goals.

Access all component information from a single spreadsheet, without concern for data redundancy, multiple libraries, or time-consuming tool overhead, and maintain an up-to-date, user-friendly parts database.

Powerful 3D layout capabilities within PADS enable you to easily design printed circuit boards, both simple and complex, regardless of their circuitry: high-speed, dense, analog and/or digital, or RF. PADS has everything you need to place and route with efficiency and ease, while making sure your PCB meets your design goals.

PADS PCB design analysis and validation is powered by HyperLynx® technology, renowned for its accuracy and ease of use. From design to manufacturing, the analysis tools within PADS help you achieve optimum efficiency.

Access all component information from a single spreadsheet without concern for data redundancy, multiple libraries, or time-consuming tool overhead. PADS also comes with a proven starter library, free library translators, and a wizard for generating IPC-compliant footprints.

Use PADS archive management throughout the design process to save time, improve design quality, and store information. Generate reports for design reviews, and compare archives to determine design differences.
