Mentor PADS PCB Layout Services
PCB Layout Support in Mentor PADS
We review your schematic, design files, and project requirements before we start the PCB layout.
We then set the layout rules, place the components, route the board, and prepare the files for PCB fabrication and assembly.
- Schematic and design input review
- Component placement and board routing
- High-speed and controlled-impedance layout
- Fabrication and assembly file preparation
Mentor PADS Layout Workflow
We review your design files and project requirements. We then set the layout rules, place the components, route the board, and prepare the production files.
- Review schematic and design files
- Check the board outline and mechanical requirements
- Place components and plan critical nets
- Route high-speed signals, power, and ground
- Check design rules and manufacturability
- Prepare fabrication and assembly files
