These suites have just the right mix of technology necessary for complex PCB design, yet they can be supplemented with a variety of add-on capabilities should your needs change. PADS Suites are a complete family of integrated solutions that improve personal productivity and speed time to market. Available in three configurations of increasing functionality, the PADS Suites provide low-risk entry points to the PADS flow. A PADS Suite for Everyone Each PADS suite is designed to meet the specialized needs and job requirements of individual engineers and PCB designers: • PADS Design Station (the PADS DS Suite) is ideal for the•Electrical Design Engineer looking for rapid product definition. • PADS Layout Station Suite (the PADS LS Suite) is designed for the Layout Designer who wants to quickly define and complete PCB designs. • PADS Engineering Station (the PADS ES Suite) is created for Engineers who want complete product definition within a single solution and Layout Designers who need high-speed routing capabilities. PADS DS Suite Ideal for the Electrical Design Engineer looking for rapid product definition. PADS LS Suite Designed for the Layout Designer who wants to quickly define and complete PCB designs. PADS ES Suite Created for Engineers who want complete product definition within a single solution and Layout Designers who need highspeed routing capabilities.

Design Without Compromise With PADS, your tools won’t limit your ability to design. Unlike other systems that advertise “price conscious” tools, the PADS flow is infused with vibrant, dynamic technology for a complete and comprehensive solution. Because PADS is based on industry standards such as Windows automation, Visual Basic scripting, and an ASCII database, you can work the way you want and customize the capabilities you need – such as creating special function keys or outputs formatted to your standards. Design Definition The PADS flow delivers the most robust system design capture and...

Thermal Analysis HyperLynx Thermal allows engineers and PCB designers to analyze board-level thermal problems on placed, partially routed, or fully routed PCB designs from all popular PCB layout environments. Temperature profiles, gradients, and excess temperature maps enable designers to resolve board and component overheating early in the design process. PCB Layout As the standard in desktop PCB layout tools, PADS offers unparalleled price-performance for the layout and design of complex circuit boards, including high-speed applications and RF circuits. PADS offers advanced design rules with...
