SCHEMATIC CAPTURE

Schematic capture creates an integral link between the conceptual design of a circuit and its physical expression. Capturing the logic of a circuit allows the integration of simulation and physical layout into the design process. Schematic capture is the design entry point for a number of other technologies including IC design, FPGA and PLD programming, signal integrity analysis, and document generation.

CADnCAM has an extensive library of components which expedite the creation of the schematic, providing a significant cost savings to the client. Packaging, layout, and routing information are included in the schematic, saving additional time in later stages of the PCB design and documentation process.

Your schematic can be generated from a netlist, hand drafted or CAD generated drawing, or transferred from another design database. We can work with simple paper, PDF, DXF, DWG, and IGES files, and back-captured from PCB data, Gerber files, and actual finished boards.

The client company can specify many data and drawing format elements of the schematic, including:

Drawing Formats:

• A thru D size and A4-A0 metric size engineering drawings
• Hierarchical multi-sheet A size engineering drawings
• Client company drawing formats, fonts, and title blocks & logos

Schematic Notation:

• Client company part numbers and component descriptions
• Client company net identifiers and signal nomenclature
• Point to point or logical electrical connections

Document Generation:

• Netlist generation format
   
• Bill of Materials & BOM details:

Manufacturer, mfg part number, alternate sources
Vendor, vendor part number, vendor cost
Client part number, part description, stock location
Component packaging & PCB footprint
