Features: ProtelDXP expands the original design scope of Protel software, integrating powerful front-end design tools in the unified design environment of DesignExplorer. It can complete front-end design input, simulation, and verification for circuit schematics and FPGA. It also integrates a highly capable board-level design system, enabling the layout and routing of complex PCB boards with high-density and miniaturized packages. This includes various rule checks, such as signal integrity analysis before and after routing, as well as comprehensive production and manufacturing output file management combined with the embedded CAMtastic assisted manufacturing software. These two aspects ensure seamless connectivity from electrical principle design to printed board manufacturing file output. Therefore, ProtelDXP is one of the most advanced and widely used EDA software in the world today.
This book focuses on the general process of electronic design using the ProtelDXP software, combining its functional modules with design examples for explanation. The entire book is divided into 17 chapters, introducing fundamental knowledge of schematic design, PCB design, FPGA, simulation analysis, and the application techniques of software functions, covering most of the content in ProtelDXP. Each section includes examples, guiding readers step by step to complete exercises, deepening their understanding of key concepts while mastering the general process and practical skills of electronic design using ProtelDXP.
This book is suitable for intermediate and advanced users of Protel software. It can serve as a teaching or self-study textbook for faculty and students in electronic-related fields at universities, as well as a reference book for electronic engineers engaged in product development and design.
