Manjunatha_hv said:Hello,
It depends on what type of applications you want to release in a PCB
is full Digital or Mixed signal or RF circuit are their in your design?
What is the budget?
Who is going to use is a new layout engineer or experienced engg.?
what frequency? do you do complete module design ?
Any other cad or simulation tools interface etc?
Do you need circuit co-simulation, electromagnetic simulation or SI analysis on the PCB...etc...
based on above factots you have
1. Cadence- Allegro, APD, OrCAD
2. Mentor graphics-Boardstation, PADS, PowerPCB,
3. Zuken-CADStar, Visula,
4. AutoCAD
5. AWR Microwave Office,
6. P*otel
7. Intercept Pantheon
