Overview

Think you know PADS? Attend this webinar and see how PADS, the most widely used desktop PCB layout system, provides much more than ever before in PADS 9.0.

PADS still offers easy-to-use and powerful design capture and PCB design functionality, but now PADS' capabilities have been extended to include best-in-class tools for pre- and post- layout simulation, power integrity, thermal analysis, collaboration, and better ties to manufacturing.

  • How the PADS solution provides much more than schematic capture and PCB layout.
  • How best-in-class tools, now part of the PADS solution, can help you get your job done right the first time.
