Protel is a mapping software for the electronics industry that draws circuit boards and schematics. If we are using a TV set with a circuit board, this circuit board is made by protel software or other similar software; the TV is often equipped with a schematic diagram (for easy maintenance), this picture is also the software said to draw .
PCB drawing software is the first protel company. After upgrading to protel99se, it will be gone. The company changed its name. The new software is DXP2004, followed by AD9 and AD10. Large companies now use AD9 or AD10.
At the end of 2005, AlTIum, the original manufacturer of the PROTEL tutorial Protel, introduced the latest high-end version of the Protel series, AlTIum Designer 6.0. AlTIum Designer 6.0, a new version of the fully integrated electronic product development system, is the industry's first and only complete board-level design solution. AlTIum Designer is the industry's first product to integrate design flow, integrated PCB design, programmable device (eg FPGA) design and processor-based embedded software development capabilities, a simultaneous PCB and FPGA design and embedding The solution of the design has all the functions needed to transform the design from concept to final product.
In addition to fully inheriting the features and benefits of the previous series including 99SE and Protel2004, this latest high-end version of Altium Designer 6. adds many improvements and many high-end features. Altium Designer 6.0 broadens the traditional boundaries of board-level design, fully integrating FPGA design functions and SOPC design implementation capabilities, allowing engineers to integrate FPGAs in system design with PCB design and embedded design.
Protel99 is a pure 32-bit circuit design plate-making system based on Win95/Win NT/Win98/Win2000. Protel99 provides an integrated design environment that includes schematic design and PCB layout tools, integrated design document management, and support for workgroup collaborative design over the network.
The main features of Protel99 are as follows:(1) The Protel99 system is optimized for Windows NT4/9X with pure 32-bit code, making the Protel99 design system stable and efficient.
(2) SmartTool technology integrates all design tools into a single design environment.
(3) SmartDoc technology stores all design data files in a single design database and manages them uniformly using the Design Manager. The design database is suffixed with .ddb and managed uniformly in the design manager. Documents that are uniformly managed using Design Manager are new in Protel99 and not in previous versions.
(4) SmartTeam technology enables multiple designers to safely design the same design over the network, and then integrate the various components into the Design Manager through workgroup management functions.
(5) The composite option of PCB automatic routing rules greatly facilitates the design of wiring rules.
(6) Support integrated rule-driven PCB layout with online rule checking.
(7) The inherited PCB automatic routing system uses the latest artificial intelligence technology, such as artificial neural network, fuzzy expert system, fuzzy theory and fuzzy neural network. Even for very complicated boards, the wiring results can reach the expert level. s level.
(8) There are two different layouts for automatic layout of printed circuit board design, namely Cluster Placer and Statistical Placer. Only statistically based layouts have been provided in previous releases.
(9) Protel99 has added an automatic layout rule design function. The Placement tab is newly added in Protel99 to set the automatic layout rules.
(10) Enhanced interactive layout and routing modes, including Push-and-shove.
(11) Board Signal Integrity Rule Design and inspection functions detect potential impedance matching, signal propagation delays, and signal overload issues. The Signal Integrity tab is also new in Protel 99 for rule-related design of signal integrity.
(12) The introduction of the part package class generator improves the management function of the part package.
(13) Extensive integration wizards guide designers through complex tasks.
(14) Schematic to the printed circuit board update function enhances the connection between Sch and PCB.
(15) Full support for plate output and board NC machining code file generation.
(16) A wide range of device libraries can be upgraded through the Protel Library Development Center.
(17) New schematic files can be generated using standard or user-defined templates.
(18) The integrated schematic design system collects over 60,000 components.
(19) Signal simulation can be performed directly in the schematic with the complete SPICE 3f5 simulation system.
(20) You can select more than 60 industry standard computer board layout templates or you can create a board template yourself.
(21) Protel99's open document function allows users to develop three times through API calls.
(22) The integrated (Macro) macro programming feature supports the use of the Client Basic programming language.
