DipTrace is an advanced PCB design software that consists of 4 modules: PCB Layout, Schematic Capture, Component and Pattern Editors. This EDA tool is a perfect combination of wide engineering capabilities and an intuitive user interface. PCB Layout features a shape-based autorouter, high-speed/differential signal routing tools and 3D PCB Preview/Export. Schematic Capture works with hierarchical and multi-sheet schematics. Instant converting to PCB, updating a circuit board from schematic, and comparing them keeps the entire PCB project in sync at all design stages.
Designing a component/footprint library is fast and easy with DipTrace thanks to an efficient toolkit and built-in Pattern Generator that creates patterns and 3D models in no time. Besides, SnapEDA integration makes over 10 million components readily available for immediate use in your design. DipTrace provides manual and automatic placement tools and is capable of routing single- and multilayer circuit boards automatically with a full control over the layer stackup. Smart manual routing tools allow designing complex high-density boards with differential pairs and high-speed data buses and get a working prototype on time. A shape-based copper pour system with a variety of fill types, thermals, and priority levels is available. Our advanced BOM generation tool integrates data from Octopart, including prices and availability, which facilitates an efficient component sourcing and project budgeting.
Electrical Rule Check (ERC), Design Rule Check (DRC and Real-Time DRC), and Net Connectivity Check ensure an error-free working environment. In addition, an integrated SPICE Simulator verifies the operation of circuit design. DipTrace is highly flexible and allows for exchanging schematics, layouts, and libraries with other EDA and CAD packages. Output formats: DXF, Gerber, ODB++, Gerber X2, IPC-D-356A, N/C Drill, and G-code. Standard libraries contain over 160,000 components and 11,500 3D models.
