Features: ProtelDXP expands the original design scope of Protel software by integrating powerful front-end design tools in the unified design environment of DesignExplorer. It enables front-end design input, simulation, and verification for circuit schematics and FPGA. It also incorporates an outstanding board-level design system, capable of layout and routing for complex PCB boards with high-density and miniaturized packages, various rule checks including signal integrity analysis before and after routing, as well as comprehensive production and manufacturing output file management combined with the embedded CAMtastic software. These two aspects ensure seamless connectivity from electrical design principles 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, explaining its various functional modules with design examples. The book is divided into 17 chapters, introducing fundamental knowledge of design principles, PCB, FPGA, simulation analysis, and application techniques of software functions, covering most of the content in ProtelDXP. Each section includes examples, guiding readers step-by-step through exercises to deepen 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 university electronic-related programs, as well as a reference book for electronic engineers engaged in product development and design.
