Best PCB Design Software

EDWinXP is an EDA Software Package for automated design of electronic products. This integrated tool covers all stages of electronic design process - Schematic CaptureSimulation,PCB Layout DesignGeneration of PCB Manufacturing and Testing. Complete design information is stored in the integrated project simultaneously accessible by Schematic Diagram Editor, PCB Layout Editor, Fabrication Output Manager and Simulators. This simulator provides EDWinXP users with the facility to analyze and validate the functionality and behaviour of circuits captured in the form of schematic diagrams. The EDSpice simulator is based on SPICE3F5 and XSPICE with a number of extensions and improvements. Front and back annotation of all design changes is fully automatic.

EDWinXP comes with an extensive part library, which may be updated, customized and enhanced with the help of th the help of Library Editor. All data about hierarchical electronic design (which may consist of several circuits and sub-circuits) is stored in a single database, along with PCB layouts for every board in the design, i.e. the software works on the concept of integrated project database. In other words, the documentation of a complete electronic device may be stored in one disk file. All parts of the design project – schematics, PCB layout and PCB fabrication drawings and documents are simultaneously accessible by task oriented software modules of the system. Changes in the design, entered on diagrams are automatically and in real time annotated on PCB layout design and vice versa. 

The current version, EDWinXP 1.90 unveils a countless set of features, comprising of Schematic Editor,Simulators – Mixed Mode Simulator and SPICE Based Simulator EDSpicePCB Layout Editor – Create the PCB Layout, Fabrication Manager – generate Manufacturing output files for Photoplotter, NC Drill etc, Thermal Analyzer – check for hotspots on the board, Electromagnetic Analyzer (with Signal Integrity and Field analyzer) – check for electromagnetic effects on the board. 3D Viewers and Editors, VHDL Editor with facility of automatic project creation from VHDL source and Converters (CUPLJEDECXILINX), Microcontroller Simulation using8051,AVR,PIC,Motorola Microcontrollers3D Library Editor, Model Generators from VHDL for Mixed Mode and EDSpice Simulators with facility of automatic creation of model/ library along with other features. Apart from the major attraction, completely integrated design concept with Automatic Front and Back Annotation and 28,000 + Library Components and Library Editor for library component creation. EDWinXP supports Reverse Engineering – complete reconstruction of project database using full set of artworks in Gerber ASCII format or complicated PCB Outline. Other modules are VHDL/Truth Table to diagram converter, 3D IDF file viewer, Filter Designer, ODB++ Export and Import and much more..

PCB

PCB stands for Printed Circuit Board. It is a thin board made of fibre glass containing electrical wires which connects the central processor to the other components on the board.Printed Circiut boards in short are called as PC Boards as we use these boards in our personal computers.Other than personal computers there is a wide range of application for PCBs in radio,television,music players etc. PCBs provide mechanical as well as electrical support to the electronic components.If the board has only copper tracks and no circuit elements like resistors,capacitors,these PCBs are called are Printed Wiring Board(PWB).A PCB populated with electronic components are called as Printed Circuit Board Assembly(PCBA).
