Description
Summary:A printed circuit board design process that employs simulation and analysis to insure that each design has accounted for all of the variables in components and processing, will produce far more successful designs in shorter times that conventional design methods. In order to exploit the process and the tools successfully, all members of the design process will need to acquire new skills and new design habits. Among competitors, the first to employ such disciplined design processes will be the most successful. Perhaps the biggest benefit of the simulation and analysis design process is a hidden one. Design improvements result as a matter of course from the need to approach design with more discipline and from the fact that it is necessary to provide the simulation and analysis tools with a complete set of information in order for the tools to do the job properly.
