Go Beyond PADS Logic with DxDesigner

Details

Overview

DxDesigner can reduce your time to completion, increase your design’s overall quality, and easily migrate your PADS Logic libraries and PCB designs to DxDesigner.

PADS Logic is an easy-to-use schematic entry tool used by designers around the world. However, if you need the capability to do more than just draw a schematic, you need a tool that enables complete PCB design creation.

With a powerful schematic design environment like DxDesigner, you can:

  • Reduce product cost and improve performance by ensuring proper component selection
  • Reduce time to market and increase quality through efficient design reuse
  • Set connectivity for high pin-count devices like FPGAs and connectors in an easy-to-use table
  • Improve personal productivity and design performance through tight integration with simulation, analysis and layout.
  • Reduce costs and library management overhead by tying your CAD library to your company's MRP/ERP systems
  • Avoid costly rework and shorten time-to-market through effective definition and variant management.

What You Will Learn

  • How to migrate your PADS Logic libraries and designs to DxDesigner
  • How the powerful and easy-to-use features in DxDesigner help you meet business objectives
  • How DxDesigner can increase your productivity throughout the design flow
