DEX PCB Designer Design Features

Unified Platform

Traditional concepts of an electronics design system haven’t changed much, at least for most EDA vendors. This can be apparent in the way they struggle to meet even the current challenges. The fragmented approach of trying to glue separate solutions together eventually breaks down as more challenges are thrown at them. It’s just unsustainable and difficult to innovate on top of inconsistent design applications that rely on constantly unmatched data exchanges. That’s not how DEX is designed.

DEX has been designed from the ground up as a powerful, single-application electronics development environment that contains all the advanced design tools you’ll need to capture and simulate hardware, design PCBs, collaborate with MCAD, manage your ECAD data and documentation, as well as manage your designs from concept to production. It’s all there in a single, unified design platform.

DEX also unifies your design data, from component models to sub-assemblies. Unlike conventional design systems based on a collection of linked tool applications, the DEX unified platform allows each design application to access and modify a single, centralized model of the design data. That’s one design project; one model of the design data; one development environment, visible to everyone. With this unified and coherent source of design data being available to all the design applications at the platform level, design synchronization and data management becomes a simple process.

Schematics

With DEX you can quickly transform your ideas into reality using the comprehensive hierarchical schematic capture features and fully constraint driven design.

DEX’s powerful and easy to use schematic capture enables you to design your printed circuit boards quickly and reliably and be confident that the design will work. You are guided during the design process with interactive symbols, or to routing of into symbol wires and fully integrated and synchronous PCB design. Gone are the days of forward and back annotation as there is absolutely no need for such prehistoric ideas, because your design is contained in one project file: changes in a schematic of automatically reflected in your PCB layout and similarly any changes in your PCB layout are instantly reflected in your associated schematics.

Simulation

Accurately simulate helps you create your design first time with integrated XSPICE analog & digital simulation.

You can place real instruments such as oscilloscopes and signal generators directly onto your schematics and you will see the output and input change in real-time.

Not only is it easy to do but it is also fun.
