Protel 99

Making Electronic Design Easy ™

Schematic Capture. Start your design

Protel’s superb schematic editor

provides fast and smart multi-sheet

hierarchical schematic entry with

high quality output. Choose from

over 60,000 supplied schematic

symbols, representing the widest

range of component manufacturers

and categories available, and build

on these symbol libraries with

regular updates from Protel’s

website. Wire components together

using the intelligent manual and

automatic wiring tools then validate

the design with Protel’s powerful

electrical rules checker. Capturing

your design has never been easier.

Regardless of your preferred design

strategy, Protel 99 puts you in the

driving seat. Use standard block-

diagram methodology – create and

wire the top-level block diagram and

Protel will automatically create the

necessary sub-sheets, complete with

ports, ready for you to place and

wire the components. If you prefer a

“bottom-up” approach, simply create

the separate sections of the design,

then automatically create the sheet

symbols on the top sheet, complete

and ready to wire. Whichever way

you like to work, Protel 99’s

schematic editor will work with

you to make the schematic capture

process easy.

Superior component

and library management

features

The heart of any design is the

components and Protel 99 comes

with one of the most comprehensive

library sets available, as well as a

powerful library editor that makes

creating and managing your own

component libraries a breeze.

Create professional components

using familiar graphical drawing

tools and techniques, including

IEEE notation. Move and copy

components freely between libraries

to easily set up a library structure

that suits your needs. And with

Protel 99’s Smart Team technology

you can easily control access to

your company libraries, defining

the read/write privileges of each

team member.

Fully-hierarchical design

environment with

advanced project

management

And with the Protel 99 Design

Explorer navigation tree you can

examine the entire structure of your

circuit at a glance. Any sheet in your

design is just a mouse click away.

For finer control use Protel 99’s

powerful browsing and hierarchy

navigation tools to jump to any

design object or trace any signal

throughout the entire design.

Protel 99’s schematic editor is easy

to use, yet capable of managing even

the largest design. There is no limit

to the number of sheets, or the depth

of design hierarchy. With Protel 99’s

schematic editor you can design

anything from a simple single-sheet

light dimmer, through to a 200-

sheet, multi-level, complex

hierarchy, 128-channel audio

mixer.

With such an extensive array of

components at your fingertips you'll

appreciate Protel 99’s powerful

library search capabilities, which

allow you to search for components

by name or description. With full

support for wildcards and the ability

to search all libraries in a single

directory or sub-directories, a

defined path, your entire hard disk,

or across the company network,

you’ll quickly locate the components

you need.

Protel 99’s comprehensive libraries

and powerful library management

features help you build up the

heart of your design quickly and

efficiently.

Protel’s hierarchical schematic design

features let you take a “bottom up” or

“top down” approach, depending on

your preferred methodology. Protel can

automatically generate sub-sheets

based on higher-level sheet symbols,

or create sheet symbols based on

existing sheets.

Powerful editing

capabilities

Design verification

Make sure your schematic is

accurate before starting the board

layout. Protel 99’s comprehensive

Electrical Rules Checker (ERC)

analyzes your schematic for

common drafting errors, as well

as invalid electrical connections.

Conditions such as unconnected

power objects, floating input pins,

and output pins connected to input

ports are flagged for your attention,

and a unique electrical rule matrix

makes it easy to change and define

relevant electrical warning and

error conditions. The ERC works

on single sheets or across entire

projects, with problems highlighted

directly on the schematic and

detailed in a comprehensive

ERC report.

Making the right connections is easy

with Protel 99’s Guided Wiring and

Auto-Junction features. As you wire

your schematic, active electrical “hot

spots” guide you to valid connection

points, allowing you to accurately

wire at lower zoom levels. Because

you are guided to the right point

each time you make a connection

you’ll spend less time tracing faulty

wiring in your finished schematic.

And there’s no need to terminate a

wire at each connection point. Wire

across multiple component pins

or the end points of existing wires

and Protel 99 is smart enough to

insert the connection junctions

automatically.

Protel 99’s schematic editor uses

standard “point-and-click” and

“click-and-drag” graphical editing

techniques that give intuitive control

over the schematic editing process.

Quickly craft your design using

familiar move, drag, copy and

paste actions. Regardless of the

complexity of your design, you’ll

feel right at home and be in total

control throughout the entire

design capture process.

Need to change the PCB footprint

for all 245 resistors in your

15-sheet schematic? No problem

with Protel 99’s powerful global

editing capabilities. Global editing

is as easy as editing one component,

then applying that change to a

defined group. You can perform

complex changes, and precisely

control which objects are to be

changed. You can perform global

edits on virtually every type of

Protel 99’s Autowiring mode makes

Protel’s Design Synchronizer makes it easy to keep your schematic and PCB

documents in step. You can run the Synchronizer at any time to pass design

changes from the schematic to the PCB, and vice-versa.

Direct interface

to simulation and

programmable logic

design

program and test the device. Protel’s

PLD compiler also supports direct

PLD design using the industry-

standard CUPL description

language. With universal device

support and seamless schematic

integration, Protel 99 opens up the

world of programmable logic to

all designers.

With Protel 99, keeping your

schematic and PCB documents

in synchronization is as easy as

pressing a button.

Comprehensive

crossprobing

Protel 99’s schematic editor brings

more muscle to the design capture

process with seamless integration of

circuit simulation and PLD design.

There’s no need to export your

design to another application to

perform mixed-mode simulations,

or to design a PLD functional block.

Simulation and PLD design menus

and toolbars form part of the

schematic capture environment.

There’s no need to play hide-

and-seek when tracing signals

in Protel 99. Protel’s Smart Tool

technology supports advanced

crossprobing between editors.

Select a net name on the schematic

sheet using the Crossprobe tool

and the corresponding net will be

highlighted on the PCB. Highlight

a component pin in the ERC report

and the Crossprobe tool presents

that component on the schematic

sheet. Tracing between design

documents couldn’t be easier.

Tight integration with

Protel 99’s PCB editor

Netlisting woes are a thing of the

past with Protel 99. At the touch of a

button Protel’s Design Synchronizer

transfers your schematic information

to the board design. There’s no

netlist import/export to deal with

and you'll never have to contend

with daunting text files.

Run mixed-mode simulations

directly from your schematic at

the touch of a button. Protel’s

simulation engine provides full

SPICE 3f5/XSPICE support, as

well as integrated digital component

modeling using the powerful Digital

SimCode language, an extension of

the XSPICE standard. Protel 99

comes supplied with comprehensive

“simulation-ready” schematic

component libraries that let you

accurately model your circuit’s

behavior. And Protel’s simulator is

easy to use, regardless of your level

of simulation experience. There’s no

need to delve into cryptic text files

to configure a simulation run – all

simulation parameters are set up

using a single dialog box.

During the initial transfer to the

PCB design stage, the Design

Synchronizer automatically

adds all necessary footprints and

connectivity information to the PCB

document, warning you of any

common transfer problems such as

missing libraries. Components are

arranged neatly to the side of your

board area ready for placement.

With Protel 99’s powerful

crossprobe features you can

concentrate on your analysis, not

which document you should look in.

Hot-link components to

your company database

Schematic components have 16

user-definable property fields that

can be used to contain static text or

hot-linked to fields in an external

database. With this feature you can

set up direct links to your company

stock databases to extract company-

specific part numbers, descriptions,

stock status, etc.

After the initial transfer, the Design

Synchronizer can be run at any time

during the board layout process to

ensure complete synchronization of

your design files. Add components

or modify component values in

the schematic and the Design

Synchronizer will automatically

reflect these changes on the PCB.

Similarly, designator changes made

on the PCB layout can easily be

fed back to the schematic.

Integrating programmable logic

devices into your design has never

been easier. Protel 99 comes

supplied with an extensive PLD

symbol library that lets you design

your PLD as a standard schematic.

Compile directly from the schematic

to produce all the files necessary to

When you select an external

database, Protel 99 reads in the

available field names and allows you

to define selection match criteria and

linked fields from simple pick lists.

Visit www.protel.com for more product information.

You could, for example, link Part

Field 1 of all components to the

supplier field of your company

database based on the schematic

symbol’s Part Type. Then, when

you generate a bill of materials for

your design, you can automatically

include the current supplier's name

for each part.

SCHEMATIC CAPTURE

Linked fields can be updated

manually at any time, or set to

automatically update at a selected

time interval.

Fast, efficient Bill Of

Materials report generation

Creating a Bill of Materials (BOM)

for your design is a common task

that can take an infuriating amount

of time and effort. Protel 99 makes

the task easy with its versatile

“BOM Wizard”. Run the BOM

Wizard to create comprehensive

reports in just a few easy steps.

Output the result to Protel 99’s

internal Excel-compatible

spreadsheet editor, or create a file

in .CSV format for use with an

external spreadsheet. Alternatively,

create the Bill Of Materials directly

as a text file.

Protel 99’s easy-to-use schematic library editor gives you full control of your components.

Edit existing schematic libraries, or quickly create your own custom components.

Define your own custom

sheet templates

Customizing schematic sheets with

title blocks, borders, graphics, etc,

is easy with Protel 99’s schematic

template feature. You can use

Protel 99’s schematic drawing and

graphics tools to create schematic

sheet templates that can be used

to apply custom elements to any

schematic sheets.

Schematic templates can contain

special text strings that link to

document-specific information,

such as company name, sheet

number, sheet name, revision, etc.

Include these special strings in your

template and they will automatically

insert the relevant information on

your schematic.

You can change the active template

for any schematic sheet at any time,

allowing you to print the same

schematic using different title

blocks, border styles, etc. You can

also set the default template to be

used whenever you create a new

schematic sheet, making it easy to

maintain a consistent look and feel

across all designs. Make a change

to a template, like updating your

company logo, and you can easily

update any sheet based on that

template.

Get high quality results
