Most Popular Electronics Design Software

The most popular electronic system design software used by professional electronics and computer engineers are are follows:
Most Popular EDA
Most Popular EDA
Cadence comes with combined tools from orcad, allegro and pspice. Their functions are combined in one EDA package called Cadence. For example, pspice is for modelling and simulation of electronics components and electronic software. Orcad and allegro is used for PCB layout design for PC Board manufacturing. Thus Cadence is an integrated tool that allows one to start the schematic design and finish up the project with PCB for manufacturing. The schematic is drawn with the tool called orcad capture.
  • Agilent ADS(Advanced Design System)
Agilent ADS is another popular tool useful for communication system designer. It contains libraries and set-up for simulation of different communication system such as GSM, EDGE, Microwave Communication system, CDMA, 3G etc. It is more often used for microwave communication system design for s-parameter, power spectral density calculation, harmonic simulation etc. It can also be used for antenna designs, layout of PCB, microstrip simulation and once the design has been verified and agreed to the part can be transferred to the Cadence software.

EDA Software Proteus is becoming increasingly popular electronics design software. It is used for microprocessor simulation with PCB design. It supports schematic drawings with its system component called ISIS schematic capture.  Other components of software Proteus is the Virtual System Modelling(VMS), ARES PCB layout for pcb design. Other features includes 3D simulation view, footprints library support etc. Download software proteus links for various version are provided in this blog.
Mentor graphics expedition provides integration of PCB design flow to provide better productivity, mangement of components and faster manufacturing ability. Like other PCB design software, it provides schematic design ability, symbol and libraries, interconnectivity, constraint manager, BOM generation, PCB layout, component placement, simulation, thermal analysis, pcb packaging for manufacturing etc.
Altium Designer is also a PCB layout designing software. It also supports FPGA and embedded system design. 

CST Studio Suite 2012

CST Studio Suite is contains antenna modelling software called  CST Microwave Studio, cable modelling software, particle modelling software, pcb modelling software, CST EM studio, CST MPhysics  and because of integrated solution to different problem domain it is called suite. CST microwave studio is popular to practicing electronics design engineers. It provides 3D visualization of electromagnetic waves around the designed system such as cell phones.
