DesignSpark PCB Software
Powerful, convenient and affordable design system for creating professional diagrams and printed circuit boards.
DesignSpark PCB can be used successfully as professional developers, and radio amateurs and students, it is similar to other modern programs and creation of electronic devices is based on the schematic editor module and PCB layout. Design environment allows you to work with the boards to an area of one square meter, restrictions on the number of sheets and layers not. There is a function autorouting, the result if necessary be adjusted manually.
This software allows you to export your spreadsheet circuit connections (ie netlist) in Spice-industry standard simulators that can test the circuit for errors and perform wiring before manufacturing PCB. Supported program for analysis of electronic circuits LTSpice, TINA, LSSpice and TopSpice. Special menu converts the files into *. Cir, *. Net and *. Sch-formats. Grouping allows you to combine a number of different elements or circuits in one unit. This applies to automatic instrument wiring boards, facilitating placement of parts. Specialized design calculators can calculate the impedance parameters radiators, distributed capacitance, inductance and group delay of different types of microstrip lines, width and thickness of the PCB track within the allowable heating, maximum current, resistance, voltage drop, as well as several other parameters.
Thanks to the library of 3D-models, the program has the option of constructing a three-dimensional image projected unit with all radio components and the possibility of arbitrary rotation and scaling. The application generates files in popular formats manufacturing Gerber, DXF, Excellon, IDF, LPKF. Besides, DesignSpark PCB has web access services offers PCB manufacturing and procurement of components used in the project, based on the generated specification.
This software package is absolutely free. Thus it contains no restrictions on the number of circuit elements, or by time of use. On the official site is freely available library components ModelSource, containing over 85,000 circuits printed circuit boards and 35,000 three-dimensional models presented in more than 20 formats, compatible with the most famous package design of electronic equipment. When you first start must complete the free registration, which needs access to the Internet. If you do not, then save the results of work will not be available.
DesignSpark PCB software package was released in July 2010. It was developed by RS Components , whose headquarters is located in Corby (UK). His way up from a small office for the sale of spare parts for the station, established in 1937 in London, currently RS Components has offices in 27 countries around the world (including in Russia), offering more than 550 000 items of products, including all necessary components for automation and information technologies, as well as office equipment, tools, measuring devices and reference books.
Unfortunately Russian interface in DesignSpark PCB is not, the program is fully in English.
To work environment sufficiently low power design of personal computers running the Windows operating system to version 7 inclusive.
Distribution of the program: Freeware
