Mentor Graphics Corp. introduces PADS 9.0, allowing designers to employ many of the company’s technologies for design, analysis, manufacturing and multi-disciplined collaboration.
 
Users can design products from standard to the most complex, highest performance and densest PCBs. Manufacturing and collaboration tools, core design entry and layout enhancements and powerful thermal, signal and power integrity analysis have been added.
 
Features include a 3D viewer that provides a design’s true 3D representation and the DxDesigner tool that gives a complete system design capability in a single user environment.
 
Padstack creation has been improved, allowing rounded and chamfered corners, and PADS 9.0 includes new outputs, such as IPC356 netlist and a “flat” DXF file.
 
Users are able to integrate many of Mentor’s advanced technology offerings, including HyperLynx Analog, I/O Designer, HyperLynx Signal Integrity and Power Integrity, the viseECAD tool and HyperLynx Thermal.
