PADS 2005 最新版,2005.2月底最新发布![推荐!]

( 全名Mentor Graphics PADS PCB 2005 Build 7.1)

由印制电路板(PCB)设计工具的领导者，美国PADS Software Inc．公司开发的PADS EDA系统包括PowerLogic、PowerPCB、CAM350和HyperLynx四个部分.

新年伊始，Mentor Graphics推出了崭新的电路设计解决方案PADS 2005。这一次由2004升级到2005有一些改进和提高，软件的名称也有做了一些调整。

原理图：由原来2004的PowerLogic改为PADS logic(原PowerLogic)

PCB：由原来2004的PowerPCB改为PADS Layout(原PowerPCB)

布线器：由原来2004的BlazeRouter改为PADS Router

仿真器没有变名称，还是HyperLynx.

PowerLogic 7.1和PowerPCB 7.1是Mentor Graphics公司推出的优秀EDA设计软件，目前已成为众多EDA设计软件中的佼佼者，深受用户的喜爱。

PADS2005 Release Highlights

HyperLynx 7.2 - Overview

HyperLynx?7.2 includes features and functionality to address new

challenges facing high-speed system designers. This is an

incremental release for HyperLynx users.

This release includes the following:

?Integrated Eldo simulation

?S-parameter model support

?Usability enhancements and quality improvements for existing Hyper

7.1 users with maintenance.

Enhancements for HyperLynx EXT

Usability

PCB translators - The Cadence Allegro translator can now translate

the native Allegro design file (.BRD) to the .HYP file format. The

following translators have improved quality: Mentor Graphics

BoardStation, Visula, and Specctra DSN.

Copy stackup to clipboard - The two-dimensional output version of

the copy stackup to clipboard now provides comprehensive properties

labeling and is in Windows MetaFile format.

Enhancements for HyperLynx GHz

SPICE

Eldo SPICE simulation - If Eldo is on the computer, you can now

launch Eldo SPICE simulation from the oscilloscope.

S-parameter model support - You can now simulate connectors and

packages using Touchstone models in SPICE simulations. Touchstone

models can provide the following information: S-parameters

(scattering), Y-parameters (admittance), Z-parameters (impedance),

and so on.

SPICE parameter passing - When assigning SPICE models, you can now

specify parameters to pass to the simulator.

SPICE stimulus voltage control - When assigning SPICE output models,

you can now specify stimulus switching times and stimulus logic-one

and logic-zero voltages.

Copy SPICE and Touchstone model assignments - When copying and

pasting SPICE or Touchstone models in the Assign Models dialog box,

the paste operation now preserves all port-mapping information,

except for ports connected to other pins in the schematic or board

circuit.

Change SPICE netlist base name - You can now change the base name

for the SPICE netlist and related files. This capability enables you

to save multiple SPICE netlists and simulation files for the design.

Usability

Loss versus frequency graphing in stackup editor - You can now use

the stackup editor to graph loss versus frequency data for a stackup

layer.

Copy lossy graphs to clipboard - The default copy to clipboard graph

now has a white background, to save toner or ink when printing. The

right-click copy to clipboard menu names are now more intuitive.

Tip: For a complete list of HyperLynx 7.2 enhancement and quality

improvements, see the BSW.VER and LSW.VER files located in the

HyperLynx installation folder.

PADS Logic

Defect fixes - Several defects have been corrected in PADS Logic.

See customer_fixes.txt at the root of the CD for a complete list of

what was fixed in this release.

One button Print ?Print more like standard Windows programs. Use

the button on the standard toolbar, or the Print command from the

File menu.

Windows-like Cut, Copy, and Paste -You can now use Ctrl + X, C, and

V, or pop-up menu controls to cut, copy, and paste.

Floating connections - You can organize your design the way you want

with floating connections. A floating connection is an unterminated

wire with, or without, a net name. You can also delete a part and

re-insert a new one more easily. You can choose whether to allow

floating connections.

Automatic connections ?You can connect parts to parts and parts to

nets automatically to accelerate your capture process. Just touch

the pins and/or nets together and they are connected.

Custom title blocks and borders - Your drawings can easily follow

your standards with custom title blocks and borders.

Active fields - You can have text data automatically updated and

propagated to multiple places with active fields. This capability is

especially useful in your title blocks. There are system-defined

fields, like sheet name and number, or you can define your own

fields, like company name or checked by.

TrueType?Font support - Provide more readable schematics ?on the

screen and when printed. True Type Font capabilities also add the

ability to use international characters as supported by Microsoft

Windows.

Selection toolbar - Like PADS Router (formerly known as

BlazeRouter), the Selection toolbar provides rapid change between

selection modes.

Licensing - You can now have floating seats and better control your

installation with new Mentor Graphics licensing.

Pin name character increase - You can now have up to 40 characters

in a pin name. The pin name limit has also been extended in PADS

Layout.

For the PADS2005 release, there are also two options for PADS Logic:

PADS Logic PDF - Create intelligent PDFs of your schematics for free

sharing with anyone with a PDF reader. All of the part attribute

information and net traceability are available in the PDF document.

(Optional product)

PADS SPICEnet - You can easily add simulation to your design flow

with the new netlisting from PADS Logic to standard SPICE programs.

(Optional product)

PADS Layout

Defect fixes ?About 60 defects have been corrected in PADS Layout

and Router. See customer_fixes.txt at the root of the CD for a

complete list of what was fixed in this release.

TrueType?Font support - You can print and photo plot all design

representations, including Gerber outputs. True Type Font

capabilities also add the ability to use international characters as

supported by Microsoft Windows.

Ease of use enhancements:

稭any additional dialog boxes are now re-sizeable

稩ncrease in the number of characters for pin names to 40

Improved copper pour - To accurately handle overlapping flood areas

and board outlines, there have been many copper pour improvements. A

new Copper to Board clearance has also been added to the design

rules hierarchy.

PADS AutoRouter and PADS Router

Defect fixes ?About 60 defects have been corrected in PADS Layout

and Router. See customer_fixes.txt at the root of the CD for a

complete list of what was fixed in this release.

Drill clearances ?The way PADS Router handles drill clearances has

been improved to account for drill clearances in all cases, avoiding

the creation of routing violations.

Trace length calculations ?Calculations have been improved to take

into account overlapping traces, now providing accurate trace length

measurements.

Differential pairs with component rules - PADS Router now has

improved handling of escape paths for routing of differential pairs

with component rules. This provides PADS AutoRouter more options,

resulting in better performance and more efficient routes.

Translators

Several defects have been corrects in the Translators. See

customer_fixes.txt at the root of the CD for a complete list of what

was fixed in this release.
