Advanced PCB Layout
Enhance your layout capabilities
If PCB layout is your game, the Advanced PCB Layout option is worth a serious look. Available only with PADS Standard Plus, this bundle adds best-in-class high-speed autorouting, time-saving DFT audits, and an advanced packaging toolkit for designing with bare-die components – all at an incredible price.
Availabe for: Standard Plus
PADS HyperLynx DC Drop
Identify high current densities and excessive voltage drop
Power delivery and reliability are critical for product creation with today’s modern, high-performance electronic circuits. Avoid unexpected or unpredictable circuit behavior by identifying power-delivery issues early in the product creation.
Available for: Standard, Standard Plus, Professional
PADS FloTHERM XT
Manage thermal issues across the entire design space
Insufficient cooling can result in schedule delays, low reliability, and increased product costs, especially in today’s high-performance devices where components are densely packed into ever-smaller enclosures. Guarantee your product’s success with PADS FloTHERM XT.
Available for: Standard, Standard Plus, Professional
Design for Manufacturing
MCAD Collaborator
RF Design
Create RF circuits and interface directly with Keysight® ADS
Use the option to draw RF shapes and to interface with Keysight ADS. Parametrically create RF circuits in PADS Professional and send them to ADS for simulation. Or have your RF specialist send circuits to you, via the two-way interface.
Available for: Professional
FPGA-PCB Co-Design
Overcome design challenges related to high pin-count FPGAs
Improve routability and signal integrity by optimizing FPGA pin-out assignments with the FPGA-PCB Co-Design option for PADS Professional. HDL synthesis and advanced FPGA-PCB I/O optimization help reduce time-to-market and manufacturing costs.
Available for: Professional
Design Review
Review, document, and share design data with stakeholders across the design process
Design Review option for PADS Professional lets you easily review complex PCB schematic and layout designs, add feedback, and share design information between departments and with manufacturers.
Available for: Professional
PADS HyperLynx DRC
Identify complex electrical rule violations affecting design integrity and performance
Ensure your product ships without signal integrity or EMI issues. PADS HyperLynx DRC identifies problems, such as traces crossing a void, that the assumptions made by simulation-only approaches cannot catch.
Available for: Standard, Standard Plus, Professional
PADS HyperLynx DDR
Quantify timing and SI concerns for DDR 1/2/3 memory interfaces
Successful design of DDR interfaces requires investigation of signal integrity issues and characterization of timing margins. The easy-to-use wizard in PADS HyperLynx DDR walks you through the steps needed to set up parameters for use in SI and timing simulations, helping you achieve first-time design success.
Available for: Standard, Standard Plus, Professional
Multi-Trace High-speed Routing/Tuning
Save time when routing high-speed designs
Set and protect net topologies and eliminate impedance changes. With this option you’ll gain superb control of matched-length, differential pairs, and min/max length nets anywhere in the rules hierarchy.
Available for: Standard, Standard Plus, Professional
