Many connectors and other components require decals/footprints that have their pins laid out in a polar pattern. In many CAD systems, this can be a time consuming effort to build these in the library. It can be done very quickly in PADS! Bill Tkachuk CSD AE, recently wrote TechNote MG582079 that steps the user through building these devices. If you have access to SupportNet, you can view a video…
When designing a PCB, most of your time may be spent interactively routing. PADS has always been known for having powerful, yet easy to use interactive routing capabilities to help engineers and designers in this phase of the design process. You need the ability to quickly connect the easy traces (is there such a thing anymore?) as well as be assured that your critical nets with length constraints,…
Managing DFM Validation for PCB Assembly and Test Processes Design for Assembly and Test is an essential stage in the NPI process. Using Valor NPI to perform DFM analysis during the design flow eliminates...
