Altium Designer is an advanced CAD tool that provides a complete PCB design environment. The design tool has a modern UI and can interact with third-party analysis, synthesis, and 3D mechanical software.
Eagle (Easy-to-Use Graphic Layout Editor) is a design tool for drawing circuits and PCB traces for electronic devices. The package contains three modules: a schematic editor, a PCB layout editor, and an auto-router.
Cadence OrCAD automation tools provide PCB design capabilities. It has a user-friendly interface and features real-time PCB design, high-speed signal routing, DesignTrue DFM, and interactive 3D capabilities.
Allegro Cadence is a design tool for large enterprises that can design complex projects and low-performance hardware. This tool works even when installed on a computer with 512 MB of RAM.
Mentor Graphics PADS is a PCB software that integrates built-in DFF, automatic routing and high-speed interactive routing, as well as 3D visualization and placement.
The increasing complexity of electronic components and switches continually requires faster signal flow rates and thus higher transmission frequencies.
Rigid PCBs are often used as motherboards. Generally, FR4 is used as the substrate and cannot be bent. It is generally used where relatively hard strength is required.
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) will monitor the radiation and conductive electromagnetic interference (EMI) generated by electronic circuits.
