pcb design software 

Whether in SMT processing industry, PCBA processing industry, or even in the entire electronic processing industry, circuit board design is also called PCB design, because the full name of circuit board in English is printed circuit board, abbreviated as PCB, so circuit board design is also called PCB design; Circuit board design, from the beginning of manual drawing to the current large-scale component library, powerful automatic layout and routing and other functions, is more and more convenient for our engineers to design circuit boards.

A qualified electronic engineer who is engaged in PCB design must master more than one PCB design software We have always been committed to the teaching of PCB software, and strive to provide teaching materials of various PCB design software for everyone who is ready to enter the electronic industry. Now we have launched two series of video tutorials of PCB software, including CAM350 video tutorial and Protel 99se video tutorial.

The development of circuit board design is a very long work, because we must choose a suitable circuit board design work when we design circuit boards. This article of our PCB Resource Network will introduce you the tools for circuit board design. When you choose, see which one is suitable for you. Of course, in your daily use, for different tasks, It is necessary to choose different circuit board design software. No matter what kind of circuit board design software is, it is not perfect. The key is that everyone can find a tool to cooperate with themselves to complete their own circuit board design quickly and conveniently.

The design of circuit board can be divided into several parts, namely schematic design, PCB design, circuit simulation, CAM engineering software, board copy software, etc. In this paper, we mainly talk about PCB design software, which refers to schematic design and PCB design.

The circuit board design software generally includes two modules: schematic design and PCB design. The mainstream powerful circuit board design software even includes the above modules. Now the mainstream circuit board design software are Protel, OrCAD, Viewlogic, PowerPCB, Cadence PSD, Expedition PCB of MentorGraphics, Zuken CadStart, Winboard/Wandraft/Ivex SPICE, PCB Studio, TANGO PCBWizard (PCB making software package matched with LiveWire), ultiBOARD7 (PCB making software package matched with multiSIM2001), etc.
