My example of a design using DipTrace PCBA design Professional.

1. A Simple PCBA Design
Using DIPTrace EDA Design Tool

2. Cadence, Allegro, OrCAD are cool...but
● The price to get them is too high.
● The time to be spent on learning them is too long.
● Any additional tool to plug into them is expensive
So, unless you want to make a career out of these expensive
tools, DIPTrace is a good alternative since you can tackle your
design from start to finish in a more co$t-saving and timely
fashion.

3. My Personal Design - Using TINA and
DipTrace - Very highly affordable tool$.
First step: Draw up a design
specification. Les choses
commencent à s'organiser.
Second step: piece-wise
simulation throughout the
design (TINA.)
Third step: Schematic
capturing and DRC
(DipTrace).
Fourth step: Layout and DRC
(DipTrace).

4. The first and second steps are yours to
decide what and how to do...
Then, comes the third steps, ah, thanks to DipTrace.

5. Look ma, it's a WLAN to RS-232
converter.

6. And then the fun part: Layout...yeah! top side
baby.

7. Bottom side...almost there.

8. Garçon, the bill please! (BOM)

9. What does it look like - Fabrication
time, top side

10. Lastly, the physical view of bottom side

11. What do you want to see at the end of
the day? A board - the fruit of your
labor
In my time there was a drafting table with drawing arm...and I
was happy.
The Apollo space capsule was designed with slide-rules...and it
got out there and back.
and then came DipTrace that makes designing circuits a joyful
thing for a fraction of what the other guys co$t.
Thanks Novaram for taking circuit design to a personal level.
