The complete PCB platform for electronic designers and small development teams

PADS Pro Essentials

PADS Pro Essentials is the Siemens solution for PCB Design, integrating into a single platform all the tools required to design, validate, and produce printed circuit boards, with advanced features accessible even to small teams.

Simple to use, yet as powerful as enterprise solutions, PADS Pro Essentials includes schematic, layout, simulation, thermal and electromagnetic analysis, plus PLM integration and library data management, reducing errors and development time.

Why choose PADS Pro Essentials for PCB Design?
A single environment for all PCB design

From circuit diagramming to layout, from simulation to production output generation: all integrated in one intuitive interface, reducing transfer errors between different tools.

Simulation and verification for reliable projects

Signal integrity analysis, power integrity, thermal analysis, and functional simulation enable the prevention of critical problems before production, thereby improving quality and reducing the need for prototypes.

Centralized data management and libraries

Library management, design review and versioning tools ensure consistency, traceability and speed in design evolution, even in distributed teams.

Accessible, scalable, professional

Designed for startups, SMEs and agile teams, PADS Pro Essentials offers the same technology used in large industrial environments, with a sustainable cost and the ability to grow over time.

With PADS Pro Essentials, you can design complex printed circuit boards with built-in tools for layout, simulation, and verification, achieving professional results from the earliest stages of the project.

The practical value of PADS Pro Essentials for electronic designers: everything in one environment

PADS Pro Essentials streamlines the designer's workflow by providing a seamless transition from schematic design to Gerber file generation. There is no longer a need to switch from one tool to another: layout, simulation, analysis, and production outputs coexist in an intuitive interface, reducing time, errors, and frustrations.

The practical value of PADS Pro Essentials for development teams: fluid collaboration and centralized libraries

With tools for version management and shared libraries, PADS Pro Essentials helps small teams collaborate effectively even remotely. Consistency between symbols, footprints, and component data is ensured, improving design quality and reducing rework.

The practical value of PADS Pro Essentials for production: validated and more reliable designs

Thanks to the integration of analytics such as signal integrity and power, PADS Pro Essentials enables the identification of critical issues prior to physical prototyping. This means fewer revisions, shorter industrialization time, and a safer and faster production startup.

The practical value of PADS Pro Essentials for the enterprise: affordable power, guaranteed scalability

PADS Pro Essentials offers the same technology used in large enterprises, but with a model designed for smaller entities. It is an affordable solution that allows you to start out lean and grow over time, while maintaining full compatibility with the most advanced versions of the Siemens platform.
"With PADS Pro Essentials, we've simplified the PCB design flow: everything is faster, more integrated, and more intuitive, without sacrificing technical precision."
