DipTrace is a powerful software for designing schematics and PCBs with tools optimized for fast and error-free design for both simple and complex boards. It also helps create and manage smooth libraries.
If you're looking for a comprehensive PCB design software with advanced functionalities, DipTrace is as good as it gets. This software consists of 4 modules including PCB Layout, Schematic Capture, Component, and Pattern Editors. The combination of the wide engineering capabilities and an intuitive user interface makes it an indispensable tool for circuit board designing.
The PCB Layout module comes packed with shape-based autorouting features, high-speed/differential signal routing tools, and 3D PCB Preview/Export capabilities. Meanwhile, the Schematic Capture works with hierarchical and multi-sheet schematics to aid in generating circuit boards with ease. With features like instant converting to PCB, updating a circuit board from schematic and comparing them, the entire PCB project stays synced at all design stages.
Designing a component/footprint library is fast and easy with DipTrace, thanks to an efficient toolkit, and the built-in Pattern Generator that creates patterns and 3D models in no time. The software also offers the option to integrate more than 10 million components readily available for immediate use in your design through snapEDA integration.
To manage the complex high-density circuit boards, DipTrace offers smart manual routing tools, differential pairs, and high-speed data buses, all with an eye in getting a working prototype on time. The system also offers a shape-based copper pour system with a variety of fill types, thermals, and priority levels.
The software's advanced BOM generation tool integrates data from Octopart, including prices and availability. This feature facilitates efficient component sourcing and project budgeting. DipTrace also checks for errors with features such as Electrical Rule Check (ERC), Design Rule Check (DRC and Real-Time DRC), and Net Connectivity Check, ensuring an error-free working environment.
In addition, DipTrace provides an integrated SPICE Simulator that verifies the operation of circuit design. The software is highly flexible and allows for exchanging schematics, layouts, and libraries with other EDA and CAD packages. Output formats include 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.
