The PADS PCB Product Creation Platform from Mentor Graphics, Wilsonville, OR, is a design creation platform that provides schematic capture, component management, simulation and analysis, PCB layout and routing, and manufacturing analysis and outputs. The platform also provides intelligent component selection and data management, definition of rules and constraints, circuit reuse, and variant creation and management during circuit creation. Capabilities include analog/mixed-signal simulation that analyzes, solves, and verifies signal integrity and DDR memory issues; rules-based electronic design rule-checking to identify EMI, SI, and PI problems; thermal analysis; constraint and variant management; ECAD/MCAD collaboration; and design for manufacturing (DFMA) analysis.
